Set in a diminutive space in the lower level of a Kennebunk hotel, Rosella KPT distinguishes itself through its clever use of space and warm materials drawing on inspiration from its sister restaurant in New York City.  In addition the design employs warm tones, hues and textures that are a modern nod to more traditional Japanese culture and sushi bar design.  The central walnut bar flanked by several small banquette tables anchors the space and welcomes visitors to gather around the open Japanese style sushi kitchen (tsuke-ba) where they can enjoy a cocktail and an intimate dining experience overlooking the itame (sushi chef) as they prepare intricate plates.
