A hip new restaurant has opened north of Rome in the town of Olgiata, the KOOK Osteria & Pizzeria. This contemporary eatery features old world furnishings and progressive architectural detail, creating an atmosphere of cool comfort with a touch of class. Its centerpiece is a living olive tree encased in a paneled glass shell, paying homage to the fruit that has been so important to Italian cuisine. The restaurant and bar stretches indoors and out, providing private sitting areas and open seating for a lengthy dining experience. Come for the food, stay for the wine and enjoy the rustic-yet-industrial environment all the while. [architect: noses architects via: yatzer]
