Interior Inspiration
Prati Italia is the only locally-owned and operated restaurant built from the ground-up at the highly successful Town Center shopping and dining district in Jacksonville, Florida.
Originally built in 2013 for Chef Tom Gray's Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails, the restaurant was transformed in early 2020 into Gray's contemporary Italian restaurant Prati Italia. Atlanta-based design firm, ai3, which designed the original Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails space, worked with Gray to bring the Prati Italia interior theme to life. The refreshed design includes a new emerald green and white color palette; upholstery; patio enhancements; bar and lounge furniture; as well as a new glass partition system for the lower-level private dining spaces. Graphics and interior signage were designed by Temper, Inc.
In 2016, the restaurant was voted from among 32 standout design projects with the "People's Choice Award" by the American Institute for Architecture (AIA) Florida for our unique, eco-aware, efficient space.
