Located in Adelaide’s inner south, CTRL Space’s Bandit Pizza and Wine is a 78-seat restaurant boasting a casual, buzzing atmosphere. Every element of the restaurant’s interior design has been meticulously chosen by CTRL Space to complement the dining experience. The low ceilings ground the connection between patrons, drawing the eye level down and promoting open energy and casual conversation. In the larger dining area, curtains are tastefully employed to foster privacy, ensuring that diners can relish in a more intimate setting.

The wood-fired oven is a focal point, enhancing the sensory experience for patrons by radiating with a glowing warmth and authenticity. Despite being located on a main road in a modern apartment block, the ambience is modern and comfortable. Warm materials and subdued lighting contribute to a welcoming space for diners to enjoy the restaurant’s intimate atmosphere.

The cork wall and corduroy booth fabric exude refined comfort, inviting patrons to unwind and savour their meals. Cool green tones provide a calming environment, adding depth and sophistication to the space.
