Azul Italiano (1000 Trees) Description

Azul Italiano’s second outpost in the recently opened, lively Tian’an 1000 Trees building along Suzhou Creek embodies the motto, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” After the huge success of their first location above Colca on the North Bund, the team hit copy/paste in its new location, with almost exactly the same décor, atmosphere and menu that we all know and love. 

The Tian’an 1000 Trees building opened just on December 22, 2021, a project that has already become a landmark on the world stage. Created and designed by Thomas Heatherwick, the architectural design encompasses hundreds of terraces and concrete columns with more than 20,000 plants to blur the line between architectural structure and garden. The building mainly houses over 160 designer brands, restaurants and cafes, interspersed with artist displays creating a true shopping and eating paradise. 

Just like their first visit, our main takeaway is that diners can expect to find simple, honest dishes with a very beneficial price to quality ratio.
