Café Mars

Imbued with whimsy and playfulness at its core, the design for Café Mars, the vision of chefs Paul D’Avino and Jorge Olarte, takes its lead from a simple prompt - what does it mean to be an “unusual Italian restaurant”? The bright color palette, soft curves, and textural transitions are grounded by a central bar and kitchen space, clad in warm and inviting wood paneling. The effect is a culinary atmosphere that is at once fanciful and comforting, transportive and familiar.
