Luxury Meets Cinematic Storytelling at the Grand Launch of Dolce Vita
Imagine stepping into a world where the allure of luxury intertwines with the thrill of cinematic storytelling. Last week, this vision became a reality as multi-award-winning music executive Jay Lamusica celebrated the grand unveiling of his latest venture, Dolce Vita, with a star-studded soirée at Chotto Matte Soho in London.
The event was nothing short of a sensory masterpiece. Inspired by the iconic film John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the evening transported guests into a meticulously curated experience. The entrance paid homage to the movie’s memorable taxi traffic scene, immersing attendees from the moment they arrived. Navigating through the bustling crowd downstairs, guests ascended to the exclusive “High Table” dining area — a subtle nod to the layered storytelling of Chad Stahelski’s cinematic universe.
Among the glittering attendees was Russian star Maria Liman, who honored the John Wick 3 library scene with her fashion inspired by the Russian folktale motif. This thoughtful tie-in added a touch of cinematic nostalgia, blending seamlessly with the evening’s high-fashion aesthetic.
The culinary experience was the centerpiece of the night, with Chotto Matte’s acclaimed chefs crafting a similar menu influenced by John Wick character Zero, a chef for the High Table. Standout dishes included the Sato Maki with romano pepper, a refined nod to the movie’s memorable blowfish scene. Guests enjoyed live DJ sets that provided an energetic soundtrack, perfectly complementing the visual and gastronomic spectacle.
In true cinematic style, transportation to the event mirrored the film’s grandeur. Chauffeured Range Rovers reflected the movie’s dramatic opening scene, where Winston arrives at the Continental New York Hotel in style. Inside, Chotto Matte’s architectural design and purple neon lighting echoed the film’s climactic battle scene, creating an immersive ambiance.
During the evening, Jay Lamusica unveiled his inspiring vision for Dolce Vita:
“Dolce Vita is a place where creativity, wellness, and quality intersect. From our restaurant to our cinematic experiences, gym, and spa, we aim to craft a space where Londoners can indulge in the ultimate expression of refined living.”
Dolce Vita promises to revolutionize luxury living with its exclusive monthly ‘Ultimate Experiences’, affectionately called ‘Dolces’. These curated events will offer members unparalleled access to the art of refined living. As this vibrant community grows, plans are already in motion to open a flagship venue, with potential locations including Stratford, Battersea, and Greenwich.
