Pentolina is a new Italian casual dining restaurant, bringing the art of traditional pasta making found in Rome’s winding laneways to Little Collins Street in Melbourne. The featured double-curved marble counter evokes the nostalgia of old-school pasta bars and unifies the key functions of the restaurant, while bringing guests together to engage with each other and staff. The brand typography is inspired by handmade pasta and the Italian expression “facciamo la scarpetta” – the ritual of mopping up delicious pasta sauce with fresh bread. Pentolina captures the warmth and generosity of Italian culture, the sophistication and integrity of Italian design, and the modern, textural aesthetics of Melbourne hospitality.

About the
Professional
We are inspired by the people we meet, and the relationships we keep.
Biasol (pronounced ‘b–are–zoul’) is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Melbourne. With a focus on the design of interior spaces, building typologies, products, and branded environments, we work collaboratively with Australian and international clients to realise spaces and experiences that merge the intricacies of design to deliver considered outcomes that engage both physically and emotionally.
Biasol was established in 2012 by Jean-Pierre Biasol whose Italian heritage and broader European educational influences nurtured a resonance and respect for the naturally diverse working processes common within European design practices. The Biasol approach draws on many complementary disciplines to create experiences that surpass expectation, harnessing intuitive, beautiful and highly engaging environments, products and brands.
