La Petrilleria Delicatessen

Insula has completed La Petrilleria, a new delicatessen owned by Sara and Luca Petrillo, in Pinciano, an elegant neighborhood in Rome.

The project has renovated a vaulted ceiling and three windows former boutique – into a day&night double place : an epicerie, where to buy Emilia Romagna traditional products ( where the owners come from ) and a bistrot, for a light lunch or a pleasant aperitivo at night.
The very reduced space ( 63 mq) and the strictly hygienic standards requirements, instead of being treated as limits, were transformed in project?s positive issues that have shaped a very well composed venue.

Taking advantage of the slope, Insula has created a double-height place : an area accomodates the entrance, the kitchen, storage and toilets; the other one is dedicated to customers.
The entrance?s main feature is the kitchen, also visible from the shop window, shown as an invite to enter La Petrilleria and taste its fine food.

Once you step down, the room is dominated by a 7 meter long stone counter, around which all guests gather to socialize and drink.

Above the counter, a hug...
