Housed within the historic walls of the former Marie Louise Salon, Vineria Luisa unfolds like a modern-day Roman fever dream.

Downstairs, a glossy terracotta floor recalls dusty Roman orchards, set against mocha limewashed walls that wrap the gin bar in warmth. The sweeping gantry curtain - Luisa’s veil - draws a playful contrast between old-world formality and progressive design, while bentwood stools with ruched skirts nod to tradition with a twist.

Ascending the staircase is an immersive experience in itself: walls and ceiling burst into a lush floral crescendo of bold orange lilies, pulling guests into Luisa’s vibrant world. Upstairs, the palette softens into moss greens, textures deepen, and florals bloom anew in banquettes and draperies. Traditional bentwood chairs, pleated and elegant, sit beside cream-draped tables framed by green-and-white gingham zellige tiles and vintage sconces, evoking the glamour of a Fellini film set - cinematic yet lived in.

Vineria Luisa transcends dining to create a feeling - a space where nostalgia flirts with fantasy, lighting flatters, music seduces, and every detail tells a layered story.
