Concept projectCocktail bar & loungeOrtigia

Notte

Capturing the nocturnal atmosphere, botanical mixology, and vinyl programming of an Ortigia cocktail bar in a high-contrast digital experience.

01Overview

Notte is an intimate late-night cocktail bar and listening lounge tucked inside a 17th-century limestone courtyard in Ortigia, specializing in Mediterranean botanical distillates and small-plate pairings.

02The challenge

Notte’s mood lived exclusively in fleeting Instagram stories. Evening visitors searching for cocktail menus, live vinyl DJ nights, or group table bookings found no central destination, leaving the bar invisible in local search and awkward to book for private gatherings.

03The strategy

Build an atmospheric dark-mode website lit by warm amber accents that mirrors the physical venue at midnight, featuring an interactive tasting-notes cocktail list, a curated weekly events calendar, and a streamlined lounge table / private-event inquiry flow.

04The solution

  1. 01Cinematic low-light hero with immediate triggers to explore the seasonal cocktail list or request a lounge table.
  2. 02Interactive signature cocktail & aperitivo menu detailing base spirits, coastal botanicals, tasting profile tags (Smoky, Bitter, Citrus, Savory), ABV, and pricing.
  3. 03Venue & nocturnal ambiance gallery showcasing the Baroque Vault Bar, Vinyl Listening Room, and Secret Courtyard.
  4. 04Upcoming evenings & DJ residency schedule with one-click RSVP / table lock-in.
  5. 05Group reservation & private-event inquiry form alongside late-night hours, exact Ortigia alley directions, and social channels.

05Design decisions

Charcoal Obsidian, Deep Burgundy & Amber Lighting

True dark surfaces (#0D0B0A and #2B1115) paired with warm amber (#D98A3C) recreate the glow of candlelight on limestone and cut crystal.

Expressive Syne Display Typography

Bold, architectural Syne headlines establish a contemporary cultural identity distinct from traditional rustic trattorias.

Tasting-Note Driven Cocktail Discovery

Filterable flavor profiles help guests choose drinks before arriving and position Notte as a serious mixology destination.

Thumb-Friendly Nighttime Ergonomics

Designed specifically for visitors browsing on their phones in the evening, high contrast, zero glare, and instant access to address and table requests.

06Expected impact

Designed to elevate Notte’s brand authority beyond social feeds, attract cocktail enthusiasts, and streamline group table and private-event bookings.
