Segnatore

Segnatore in Chicago’s Humboldt Park, designed by Siren Betty Design, draws inspiration from Italy’s folk-healer tradition. The neighborhood restaurant blends Old World mysticism with Chicago hospitality, combining vintage artwork, rich textures, and handcrafted architectural detail to create a dining experience that feels soulful, layered, and steeped in story.

Siren Betty Design reimagined Segnatore as a space that reflects both healing and heritage. The design incorporates classic Italian motifs, pressed-tin ceilings, and warm wood wainscoting reminiscent of Humboldt Park’s historic architecture. Vintage oil paintings depicting mysticism and the female form celebrate the restaurant’s powerful feminine leadership. Italian ceramic tiles from the 1960s, antique wooden chairs sourced from Berlin, and a 19th-century display shelf contribute to the sense of history and craft. A repurposed church pulpit serves as the host stand, while dried floral and herbal arrangements by botanical artist Courtney Howell infuse the room with natural beauty and quiet magic. The result is a restaurant that feels timeless, intimate, and deeply connected to its roots.
