Marcello Ristorante The Stay Hotels

Marcello Ristorante The Stay Hotels

Marcello Ristorante crowns The Stay Boulevard Nisantasi, offering a refined Italian dining experience framed by sweeping views of Istanbul. Designed by Autoban, the restaurant draws inspiration from the atmosphere of a contemporary trattoria, where charm, sophistication, and authenticity converge in an elevated yet welcoming setting.

From the moment of arrival, guests are immersed in a space that balances Italian modernism with Autoban’s signature material narrative. Rich geometric flooring in burgundy and white marble pairs with dark velvets, dramatic curtains, and brushed bronze accents to establish a warm and textural environment. Under high wooden ceilings, bespoke furniture upholstered in playful patterns, including red checkers and chocolate leather, creates a layered, urban elegance.

The main lounge evokes intimacy through moody lighting and deep hues, while a series of custom pendant and wall lamps animate the space in conversation with the architectural rhythm. Guests dine in visual proximity to the show kitchen, where chefs prepare dishes at an open focaccia station and traditional pizza oven. Hanging copper cookware and open shelves enhance the theatrical, immersive quality of the culinary experience.

At the rear, the energy shifts: a cozy alcove clad in red-veined marble and dark wood invites guests to linger over drinks at the cocktail bar, lined with vertical farming cabinets that supply fresh ingredients for Marcello’s vegan cocktail program. This zone embodies an atmosphere of quiet luxury, offering a more intimate contrast to the lively front of house.

The terrace, accessed through the main dining room, completes the Mediterranean narrative. Framed by natural brick, cascading greenery, olive and lemon trees, and glass ceilings, it offers a lush setting for al fresco dining. A red-veined marble and terracotta floor anchors the space, while checkered sofas and a custom bar define its casual elegance.

Marcello is a layered experience of taste, texture, and design. It extends The Stay Hotels' commitment to curated lifestyle destinations by bringing together culinary excellence with architectural storytelling—a place where every detail celebrates the expressive spirit of Italian dining through a distinctly contemporary lens.
