October 13, 2024 | 1 min to read
For Giorgio Armani, style transcends fashion, finding expression in food as well. After launching his fashion label in 1975, he opened his first restaurant in Paris, leading to a global empire serving Italian cuisine in cities like Dubai, Milan, and Tokyo. This fall, Armani/Ristorante will debut on Madison Avenue, embodying the designer's belief that "the only limit is good taste," featuring a contemporary space with a Champagne bar and elegant décor.
For Giorgio Armani, style goes beyond fashion. It is but one expression, and food is another. Just two decades after debuting his fashion label in Milan in 1975, Armani opened his first restaurant in Paris, the entrée to an epicurean empire that now serves carefully considered Italian cuisine in such glittering cities as Dubai, Milan, and Tokyo. This fall Armani/ Ristorante will open its doors on Madison Avenue between East 65th and 66th streets, where it will continue to prove, as the fashion designer once said, “the only limit is good taste.”
Steps away from Central Park, the restaurant’s contemporary space channels the decadence of a bygone era. A Champagne bar greets guests at the entrance, giving way to marble-effect flooring and mirrors on the walls.
