The Stone Farm team recently paid a visit to new customer Roma Ristorante, a classic Italian restaurant with a naturally warm and comforting atmosphere. We wanted to see how our authentic brick wall tile looked in the newly renovated space….which was really just an excuse to enjoy a delicious Italian meal.
A WARM WELCOME
As we walked in the door, we instantly felt as if we’d been invited into someone’s home. Laughter and easy chatter filled the air. Some of the guests sat in their “regular” seats at the bar, looking relaxed and familiar. It’s that kind of place.
We walked past the bar and into the main dining room, where authentic brick is featured prominently along one long wall. Everything smelled amazing. Our senses were on overdrive with the sight and aromas of fresh food, fine wine and homemade desserts. The owner, came by and offered us a tour. The backroom was newly designed with old wine crates and more brick veneer. It was a mix of cozy, romantic and chic, all at the same time. The antique brick matched the overall ambiance of the restaurant in the form of a beautiful accent wall at far end of the room.
AUTHENTIC BRICK CAN BE A GREAT COMPLIMENTARY MATERIAL
As we continued our tour, we saw veneer used in smaller, more discreet spaces as well. Roma’s design truly exhibits the range of options authentic brick presents. And all the while, from room to room (and even out to their beautiful patio area) the comforting, homey vibe we felt when we first walked in, never left us.
We always love to see our material in finished projects. Our visit to Roma was all we’d hoped for, if for no other reason than their beautiful design choices. But, oh the food! Wonderful antipasti, contorni, and takes on Italian classics.
And the desserts! Roma’s desserts are made in-house by their own French trained pastry chef. Desserts are served fresh, with a daily variety such as shortcake, banana cream pie, mini-carrot cake, mini-cannoli and much more.
It was a joyful evening in a joyful place, where people come to connect and enjoy company. In our crazy, hectic world, it’s places like Roma that bring friends together to share an experience. We highly recommend paying them a visit if you’re ever in the area.
