Tarsanas / NTA

TarsanasRestaurant.com is the digital foundational project for one of the most historic restaurants on the island of Spetses, with over 25 years of presence in traditional Mediterranean cuisine and fresh seafood flavors, located at the shipyards with a view of the harbor. This website was a challenge—not simply as an online presence, but as a digital representation of a living, authentic experience of hospitality and cuisine.

NTARestaurant.com is a premium digital showcase for the NTA restaurant, which operates as the “younger sibling” of the iconic Tarsanas Restaurant. Designed to transfer the authentic gastronomic experience of the venue into the digital environment, the website combines aesthetics, functionality, and speed. The layout is clean, visually engaging, and consistently reinforces the brand identity across every page.

The two sibling websites form a digital space where visitors can explore the philosophy of both restaurants, learn about the menus and services, experience the charm of the traditional setting, and understand the quality of the products.

The design of the NTA website aimed to strengthen its online presence as a distinct, high-quality gastronomic choice, while highlighting its relationship with Tarsanas through a consistent, kindred brand aesthetic—allowing users to immediately recognize it as a sibling concept with the same standard of quality. The website experience was designed to showcase the menu and cuisine, support reservations and contact with a single click, and reinforce the brand’s identity within a modern digital environment.

At the same time, the design of Tarsanas focused primarily on digitally conveying the atmosphere of the Tarsanas experience, presenting the menu and services with high aesthetic value, enhancing the recognition of its tradition and quality, and visually and functionally uniting the physical space with the digital environment.

In parallel, due to the complexity of the content (menus, history, services, gallery, etc.), the initial website was particularly demanding in terms of design, structure, and content, as it needed to strike a balance between information and visual storytelling.

The initial implementation had to address rich content (menus, images, services) that required clear and attractive organization, multiple navigation layers to provide access to menus, history, gallery, and reservations, high aesthetic standards to reflect the traditional and premium identity of Tarsanas, and an SEO-friendly architecture.

We addressed this challenge through strategic UX/UI design, clear content hierarchy, and technical implementation that ensures speed and quality.

Both projects—Tarsanas and NTA—share common elements such as a unified aesthetic that signals brand affinity and shared UX principles for immediate access to menus and essential information.

The result is two distinct digital presences with a shared artistic direction and a clear digital identity that bridges traditional hospitality with a contemporary web experience.

For NTA Restaurant & Tarsanas Restaurant the visual identity was crafted to convey warmth, authenticity, and a refined dining experience.

The use of #000 and #fff creates a strong, timeless contrast that communicates elegance and clarity, allowing both content and imagery to stand out without visual noise.

The warm gold tone #b7985b is reserved for headings and key highlights, adding a sense of premium quality and drawing attention to important sections, while subtly referencing craftsmanship and hospitality.

This choice is paired with the Sacramento typeface for titles, whose handwritten character introduces a personal, welcoming, and expressive tone.

For body text and longer paragraphs, a clean sans-serif typeface is used in #6c7880, ensuring high readability, visual balance, and a comfortable reading experience across all devices. Together, these typographic and color choices form a cohesive visual system that feels both sophisticated and approachable, enhancing the overall brand narrative.
