Since 1997, Simposio has served some of the finest Northern Italian cuisine in the city. The move has allowed Mr. Luti to expand his kitchen most importantly, it has a much larger lounge. “ ‘Simposio’ means “gathering place” in Italian,” said Luti, “and I want my guests to feel free to have a cocktail before dinner and an aperitif after, in a more relaxing atmosphere.”
The new location features a large dining room, an intimate private room, a piano bar and a patio, and features the same award winning Northern Italian cuisine that was offered at the former Richmond Avenue location.
The beautiful frescos that adorn the walls were painted by Giorgio Cella, native of Barga, Italy. After studying at the Academy of Beautiful Arts in Carrara, Italy, his specialty is in restoration of old masters, as well as painting in their unique style.
