Barbarella began with a pitch delivered in 24 hours and an image that wouldn’t leave the mind: a summer in Capri in the 1970s. Brigitte Bardot in sunglasses. The colors of a Dolce & Gabbana collection called "Famiglia" — the lemons, the deep blues, the hand-painted ceramics, the vibrancy of southern Italy. From that came a restaurant unlike any other in Mexico.

Barbarella is, within the brand’s universe, the mother. The origin. The space that set the tone for everything that would come after. Its green facade is one of the most photographed in Guadalajara. Its circular bar with a pizza oven became the visual heart of the project. And its outdoor bar — a scenographic object right on the street — is the first seductive argument before crossing the door.

What distinguishes Barbarella is the narrative density of its space: every corner has something to discover. Those who return and choose a different spot find new details. The space is never exhausted — because it was designed to be inhabited, not just visited.

The circular bar with a pizza oven is the gesture that organizes the entire dining-room experience. Added to the green facade and the outdoor bar, Barbarella builds three sequential impact moments — one before arriving, one upon entering, and one when sitting down. Very few spaces manage to sustain that emotional architecture.
