Robbi: Unique Italian Cafe in Samara by ALLARTSDESIGN

Robbi is not just a cafe; it's a vivid representation of Italian culture nestled in the heart of Samara, Russia. Designed by the talented team at ALLARTSDESIGN, led by Artemy Saranin, this cafe offers a unique blend of modern design and traditional Italian elements. The interior is adorned with original decor that transports guests to the vibrant streets of Italy, showcasing various eras and styles. Key features include an extraordinary pizza oven shaped like the head of Hercules, which serves Roman pizza directly from its mouth, creating an unforgettable dining experience.

The ambiance of Robbi is accentuated by a captivating chandelier that spells out 'Gioventù', meaning 'YOUTH' in Italian. This eye-catching piece, along with the intriguing images of guests, creates a lively atmosphere that invites patrons to explore and enjoy. Elements of design are inspired by the Cathedral of San Lorenzo in Genoa, seamlessly integrating a piece of Italian architectural heritage into the cafe's flooring. A large wine cabinet serves as both a functional and aesthetic feature, doubling as a public library stocked with a curated selection of literature, enhancing the cafe's cultural offerings.

Robbi's contact bar is a hub of creativity, offering a wide range of designer cocktails amid a visually stimulating environment. The LED dance floor, large projection screen, and DJ stage reflect the dynamic nightlife of Milan, providing a space for entertainment and social gatherings. With culinary offerings that include imperial Hassan oysters, scallops, and a variety of Roman pizzas with customizable toppings, Robbi redefines traditional Italian dining in a contemporary setting. The menu is thoughtfully crafted to complement a selection of wines and spirits, ensuring a memorable gastronomic experience.

In a serendipitous moment, the project's team sourced unique foreign literature from a second-hand book dealer, enriching the cafe's library with Western literature that adds depth to the cultural experience. The selection of books not only serves as decor but also invites guests to engage with the narratives of different cultures while enjoying their meals. This thoughtful integration of literature into the dining experience enhances the overall ambiance and provides a unique touch that sets Robbi apart from other establishments in the region.

Robbi is more than just a place to eat; it’s a celebration of modern Italian culture, creativity, and culinary artistry. With its innovative design, diverse menu, and vibrant atmosphere, Robbi stands out as a must-visit destination in Samara. The collaboration between the chef and sommelier showcases their talents and knowledge, resulting in a dining concept that is truly one of a kind in the city.
