Bar Italia Transforms with Minimal Doors and Barrier-Free Views
Bar Italia in Lakewood, Ohio introduces a new way of dining where atmosphere matters as much as the cuisine. Designed to create a vibrant and flexible environment, the restaurant partnered with Libart and its U.S. licensed manufacturer Stoett to install Panora vertical retracting doors.
Unlike conventional openings, the vertical retracting door rises upward, leaving the floor completely free. This feature provides barrier-free access and allows guests to enjoy fresh air and unobstructed views without sacrificing comfort. The minimal door profile ensures that the design remains sleek and contemporary, seamlessly integrating with the restaurant’s architecture.
For visitors, this translates into an effortless indoor-outdoor experience. Whether enjoying brunch on a sunny morning or dinner on a cool evening, guests are no longer separated from the outdoors. The open connection makes the space feel larger, more inviting, and ultimately more memorable—one of the reasons Bar Italia has quickly become a preferred destination in the neighborhood.
Operational Flexibility for Every Season
From an operational perspective, the system provides maximum flexibility. The restaurant can adapt to changing weather conditions in seconds, guaranteeing that the space remains comfortable and attractive all year round. This adaptability not only enhances customer satisfaction but also strengthens the restaurant’s competitive edge.
Bar Italia stands as a testament to how architectural innovation can shape guest preference. By integrating Panora’s vertical retracting doors, the restaurant has elevated its atmosphere into a defining part of the dining experience.
