DOC  is unlike any restaurant.  Its named is derived from ”denominazione di origine controllata” - the Italian controls of wines of “particular reputation and worth”.  Walking through the front door, you enter straight into the kitchen.  The sense one feels seated at the table is having a meal in an Italian cottage out in the rural Tuscan countryside.   Watching Chef Greg Perrault from a candlelit table transports one back to our childhood when we watched Mom preparing meals at home. 

Which image works best to represent the above description?   Where does your eye focus when looking at these images?  These examples illustrate my previous point of how light can be used to control what you want your viewer to see.
