Mazzitelli inspired something in me, maybe it was the warmth of spirit that good pinot gives you. Or the sense of comfort, you get from good food.
It is 7pm on a Tuesday Night and the western end of Bridge Road, Richmond is quiet. The area, like Chapel Street, is in the midst of rebirth. You have to wonder, is it the over indulgence of greedy landlords that has lead to empty shops? Have times been too good for too long and the importance of culture forgotten in rental values?
I paint a grim scene, so its a surprise when you walk through the door and discover Mazzitelli for the first time. She is beautiful, belonging in Venice or Rome, an alleyway where you jostle people to navigate your way into the entrance. Her wax rendered walls, which I learn were aged using coffee. Venetian chandeliers, art works and installations all add to the atmosphere. You can’t help but notice the warm marble polished floors.
Mazzitelli is a place to sit and eat, talk and drink. Whether you are at the bar, or seated in the restaurant. You have a sense that time has been standing still, so when you leave, you question where the hours went.
