The 42-seater restaurant has been designed by Edinburgh based, S-SO. They created a dynamic and engaging space to bring MATTO’S unique character to life and showcase its innovative approach to pizza. The aim is to take customers on a journey in true theatrical Neapolitan-style. The dining space incorporates bold prints and bright colour for a dramatic effect. Guests can expect big and bold including a show stopping pizza oven taking centre stage with the design details as its cast. S-SO created different areas within the space providing more intimate dining for smaller groups, as well as larger seating areas perfect for large groups to share a slice with friends.
