At Imperfecto we believe that human beings are not perfect. We are far from perfect. We are Imperfect. And imperfection is what moves us forward and shows us how to improve.
The restaurant design is inspired by Greek culture. The oldest definition of "perfection" goes back to Aristotle who defined the concept in three parts: that which is complete; that which is so good that nothing of the kind could be better; that which has attained its purpose.
At Imperfecto, we know that a restaurant space is not complete if it’s not filled with people; that we will try our best to maintain the highest levels of creativity, flavors and service; that we will always pursue our purpose of bringing magical culinary experiences to our guests.
