Pastarita is a soulful reimagining of an Italian eatery within Westfield Newmarket. Hellospace transformed a former hospitality site into a warm, boho-inspired space that captures the essence of Italian dining while meeting the demands of a busy mall environment.
Inspired by Italy’s rich culinary heritage, the design includes nostalgic touches—wooden spoons, olive leaf wallpaper, and woven pendants—layered over a soft palette of sage green, light blue, and warm timber tones to create a relaxed, familiar atmosphere.
Sustainability was central, with repurposed materials and custom joinery throughout. The result is a welcoming, family-friendly restaurant that blends authenticity, functionality, and brand storytelling into a memorable dining experience.
