Cecilia’s Pizzeria by Studio ADI: A Sunlit Ode to Naples

In a world of fleeting trends, Cecilia’s Pizzeria stands out as a timeless love letter to Naples — reimagined through a modern Indian lens. Designed by Studio ADI, the pizzeria captures the unhurried joy of southern Italy, where food, family, and design come together in perfect harmony.

From the moment you step inside, Cecilia’s feels like summer bottled in blue and gold. The deep cobalt tiles enveloping the counter and kitchen form the heart of the space — a tactile, luminous core that instantly draws you in. Behind it, shelves lined with San Marzano tomato cans, flour boxes, and stacked firewood create a warm tableau of authenticity. At its center, the yellow-tiled Neapolitan oven glows like the Mediterranean sun — both functional and sculptural, anchoring the restaurant in its artisanal ethos.

Studio ADI’s design philosophy balances vibrancy with intimacy. The palette of ocean blue, lemon yellow, and natural rattan evokes the cheerful simplicity of an Italian trattoria, while refined detailing keeps the space crisp and contemporary. Upholstered chairs in blue pinstripes and mustard velvet, terrazzo flooring, and playful lemon chandeliers infuse personality without excess. Every texture — from glass to tile to wicker — harmonizes in a gentle choreography of light and color.

Large windows blur the line between inside and out, their glass etched with whimsical sketches and Italian phrases that narrate stories of la dolce vita. A cozy corner nook, accented with striped cushions and golden pendant lamps, invites diners to linger over espresso and conversation. Outside, the hand-lettered “Cecilia” signage continues the narrative of craft and care, embodying the same warmth that fills the interior.

With Cecilia’s Pizzeria, Studio ADI has crafted more than just a dining destination — it’s an immersive experience that feels both global and deeply personal. Each element, from the color story to the seating rhythm, celebrates conviviality, craft, and comfort. Here, design doesn’t just frame the act of dining — it becomes part of the joy of sharing it.
