The Clarity

It’s believed that St. Lucia, the Roman patron saint of light, ceremoniously removed her own eyes to prove her beauty lay within, not something to behold. In Lucia, her illustrious story is reimagined through the perspective of a modern, romantic muse.

Her story is woven through over 50 unique expressions within the restaurant space and Via Lucia, her sister café and marketplace.
