While conjuring the concept for Snatch, we explored all sides of the Italian culture including the audacious, mischievous, even naughty slant. While classic elements like the column, atlas and marble have a key presence in the interior, we’ve interpreted them in today’s design language and mixed them together with neon, graffiti and leopard print. Is the result the epitome of taste or borderline vulgarity? Depends who you ask! We respect and admire the Italians’ daring spirit and ability to get away with what other nations would consider controversial.
Snatch restaurant brings a new style of Italian dining experience to Riga which has its share of more traditional trattorias and pizzerias.
