Osteria Ilaria
www.osteriailaria.com/The reference for pairing a light monospace (laplace-mono-light) in letterspaced uppercase against a warm cream field (#FDF6E5) and a single hand-painted Miro-esque abstract as the entire hero, so a restaurant reads as gallery not menu.

- Warm cream page field hsla(40,88.24%,96.67%) ~#FDF6E5 instead of white, the whole site sits on paper
- A single large hand-drawn / painted artwork (loose ink lines + soft colour blobs: red, ochre, teal, green, yellow) as the hero, no photography of food

- Section labels as ILARIA / MENU, ILARIA / CELLAR SERIES, a fixed prefix-slash-label naming pattern
- Menu presented as plain letterspaced mono text lines with trailing prices (Scallop, basil butter, cacciatore - 14ea), no cards, no dividers
