Chiaroscuro is contemporary restaurant that combines traditional values with a modern air. Inspired by the black and white films prominent during the Italian Neorealism movement of the 40's and 50's, Chiaroscuro's clients will experience a level of service that constitutes a class of its own and an atmosphere that will express a simple yet charming air reminiscent of the subtle classy detailing of an Armani Suite. The design is reminiscent of a terrace on the Mediterranean Sea or a street in Rome and offers visual stimulus that sets it apart from the competition. The aroma of lavender, rose, and lemon will seduce your sense of smell while homemade pastas, bread, and a menu out of an Italian dream will draw you in by the succulent taste of rich dishes that will leave your palate begging for more. The music will be that of a typical Italian lounge with the traditional sounds of tango, flamenco, and fado complimented by a twist of electro-lounge sensibility.
