TAGLIATA & ELK ROOM
Science meets
Romance
Picture yourself happening upon a ramshackle farmhouse in Tuscany that has been repurposed as a chic little eatery featuring crumbling brick and plaster walls, wide-board floors and billowing drapes. Now, take that image and transport it to an old industrial building in the middle of Baltimore. That’s Tagliata.

Designing for the hospitality world is all about curating an experience. It calls for transporting a guest out of his or her current life and into a new story to be someone else, if only for a short time.
