THE SETTING
A hot summer night. We are in the outdoor garden courtyard and, later, the indoor dining room of The Met Restaurant inside the Metropole Hotel, a five-star family-owned hotel located on the Riva degli Schiavone in Venice. The Met Restaurant is headquarters for Michelin star chef, Luca Veritti.
THE TIME
It is July 7, 2017 at 7:00pm, the evening of the inauguration of the Rose Room, a casual, intimate nook inside The Met Restaurant.
THE PLAYERS
Gloria Beggiato is the owner of the Metropole Hotel. Gloria has "a thousand dreams and a thousand ideas," and an Alice in Wonderland glow about her. Gloria has long desired to transform The Met Restaurant into an eatery that reflects who she is -- her philosophies and her goals. When she met fashion designer Silvia Bisconti it was like a world burst wide open, a world of colors and emotions. Together they refreshed and expanded The Met, and created the Rose Room.

There is a touch of the Orient at The Met and the Rose Room, captured in the fabrics, the walls, the ceilings -- in the fashion worn by the staff.

Fashion fused with food. Cuisine with decor. The Rose Room is a casual alcove inside a Michelin star restaurant, where the cuisine is light, inspired by nature and reflects the seasons -- perfect for an aperitif, or a small, exclusive party.
