Designed by the « starchitect » Jean-Michel Wilmotte, That's Life is the new black-and-gold Italian restaurant that everyone’s talking about.
By calling on the talent of a famous architect who has already designed museums, hotels, office towers, urban projects, private homes, housing programmes, winery estates, commercial areas, and cultural centres, the restaurant was clearly swinging for the fences. Jean-Michel Wilmotte has certainly delivered. That’s Life is a prime example of the American-Italian spirit that was so near and dear to Frank Sinatra.

As soon as you open the door, you are met with the dazzling black-and-gold décor of this former jewellery boutique. Featuring matte bench seating, a giant golden staircase, and trompe-l’oeil alcoves, the restaurant’s theatrical feel has quite the impact. All that’s left to do is to find your seat amidst a beautiful clientele eager to experience authentic Italian fare properly prepared by a true Apulian chef.
