A Taste of Acoustic Comfort: Ristorante Da Franco Gets a Sound Makeover

In the bustling heart of Seriate, Italy, the popular eatery Ristorante Da Franco has long been known for its vibrant atmosphere and authentic Italian cuisine. But like many busy dining spaces, the restaurant faced a familiar challenge: excessive noise levels that interfered with the dining experience.

To create a more enjoyable environment for guests, Ristorante Da Franco partnered with local integrator Elettrica Seriatese to install BuzziJet, our high-performance acoustic lighting solution. The result? A stylish, sound-optimized space where every conversation and every bite is savored in comfort.

The Acoustic Challenge of Dining Spaces

Restaurants are naturally lively environments. Between clinking cutlery, background music, and tables filled with conversation, sound can quickly become overwhelming. In hard-surfaced interiors, poor acoustics can lead to elevated noise levels, making it difficult for guests to connect and even harder for staff to communicate efficiently.

Recognizing the impact of sound on both comfort and customer satisfaction, Ristorante Da Franco set out to address its acoustic issues without compromising on style.

A Stylish Solution: BuzziJet

Enter BuzziJet, a cylindrical acoustic pendant designed to absorb sound while also serving as a bold visual element. Its large surface area and soft upholstered body make it ideal for spaces with high ceilings or hard finishes, like restaurants and hospitality venues.

At Ristorante Da Franco, BuzziJet was selected for its sound-absorbing performance and its sleek, contemporary look, which complements the restaurant’s interior without overpowering it. Suspended above key dining areas, BuzziJet quietly goes to work, softening harsh echoes and reducing ambient noise.

Seamless Integration by Elettrica Seriatese

The project was made possible thanks to our trusted partner, Elettrica Seriatese, who oversaw the installation and integration of the acoustic lighting solution. Their expertise ensured that the BuzziJet units were strategically placed to optimize sound absorption while enhancing the visual flow of the space.

The result is a welcoming, intimate atmosphere that allows patrons to enjoy both the flavors and the conversation.

A Better Dining Experience

Since the acoustic upgrade, guests have noted a more relaxed and pleasant environment, where conversation no longer requires raised voices. The combination of BuzziJet’s acoustic performance and elegant design has helped Ristorante Da Franco deliver on both comfort and ambiance, key ingredients for a successful restaurant.
