Y Bar e Ristorante has opened its doors in Buckhead Village. The concept is inspired by the cafés and bars of 1960s Italy. Its menu is based on recipes and flavors from Rimini, Italy.
Y Bar e Ristorante Opens in Buckhead Village
Located in the former Storico Vino and Pachengo spaces, Y Bar e Ristorante marks Y Hospitality’s latest addition in Buckhead Village. It joins Yeppa & Co., Storico Fresco, Forza Storico, and Villa Yeppa.
The restaurant captures the atmosphere of 1960s Italian cafés and bars through a relaxed dining experience and Italian-inspired cocktail program. The interior of the restaurant is designed to resemble a vintage Italian gathering place. The space includes sketches by filmmaker Federico Fellini, adding to its nostalgic Italian atmosphere.
It features a large U-shaped bar, antique furnishings sourced from Italy, vintage decor, family photographs, and other nostalgic details. Together, these details reflect the restaurant’s mid-century Italian-inspired design. The restaurant also includes a covered patio and an outdoor area inspired by Italian piazzas.
The restaurant also honors Y Hospitality founder Stephen Peterson’s mentor, Roberto. According to Peterson, Roberto’s welcoming personality and the relaxed culture of sharing meals in Italy inspired the concept behind Y Bar.
