The dining room and facade of La Piazza are painted by Spanish painter, Jordi Pedrola. The trompe l'oeil style murals feature items and scenes typical of piazzas throughout Italy.

Trompe l'oeil is a French term literally meaning "trick the eye." As a painting style, trompe l'oeil has a history extending back to 400 B.C. and was a part of the rich culture of the ancient Greek and Roman empires. The murals unearthed at Pompeii are typical of these ancient paintings.

Mr. Pedrola currently lives in Chicago. He has created murals in Spain and the U.S. in both private and public buildings. He has shown his original paintings in art galleries on both sides of the Atlantic, and is available for portrait commissions. View more of his work at www.jordipedrola.com.

"La Piazza is a cute, bordering on adorable, 40-seater on a quiet Forest Park street." -- Phil Vettel, Chicago Tribune food critic
