Lucia Rose: Custom Hospitality Solutions Transform Italian Dining
Elevating Chicago Suburban Dining
Superior Seating's transformation of Lucia Rose showcases how custom hospitality furniture solutions can elevate suburban dining experiences. Located in Addison, IL, this project demonstrates our expertise in combining operational efficiency with authentic Italian design elements in high-traffic hospitality settings.
Coastal Italian cuisine is celebrated for its fresh ingredients and bold flavors, inspired by the picturesque coastal regions of Italy and other areas by the Mediterranean. At Lucia Rose, guests can savor these culinary traditions in a setting that perfectly balances contemporary design with classic Italian charm.
Our comprehensive furniture solution helped Chef Davide D'Andrea bring his vision of modern coastal Italian dining to Chicago's suburbs. The project delivered measurable improvements by maximizing space usage, improving service flow efficiency, and reduction of table turn times, which overall resulted in positive guest comfort ratings.
Meeting Modern Italian Dining Demands
Commercial Design Challenges
Creating a premier dining destination in Chicago's suburbs required solving specific operational challenges:
- Space Optimization: Maximize suburban restaurant footprint while maintaining authentic Italian dining proportions
- Traffic Management: Design efficient pathways for high-volume weekend service
- Durability Requirements: Ensure furniture longevity under heavy suburban restaurant traffic

The team at Lucia Rose envisioned an elegant yet comfortable dining environment that would honor both Italy’s coastal culinary traditions and the modern comforts expected in high-end dining.

Guest Experience Impact
Our furniture solutions have delivered measurable business results:
"The restaurant is designed very well. It's beautiful, elegant and well kept. It's a city/posh vibe with colors that are neutral and inviting with an accent of a deep emerald green. For food I tried the caprese salad which was light and refreshing. The portion is fairly large so this is a salad that can be shared. I also tried the tartufo wood fired pizza and it was delicious. The flavors are well balanced and overall a solid pizza - this is also fairly large and can be shared. I recommend ordering a few diff things and just sharing with everything you're with."
