Ares is Bugatti's most architectural line: precision-forged 18/10 stainless steel paired with a high-quality resin handle, brushed by hand at the end to make it tactile. Bugatti Ares flatware comes as five-piece place settings in polished gold with black or white handles, or in the soft brushed finish that catches light without shouting, alongside six-piece moka spoon sets in gold and champagne for the espresso tray.

The gold is not paint. Where Ares wears gold or champagne, the finish comes from PVD coating — a thin, hard layer bonded to the steel — which is how a gold flatware set survives real dinners rather than living in a display cabinet. The result reads as jewelry for the table but behaves like the everyday flatware it is.

Ares is designed and manufactured in Italy by a house that has been at this since 1923. Each set is made to order and ships in about four weeks. The moka spoon sets are boxed, which makes them an easy answer for coffee lovers, housewarmings and anyone who owns more espresso cups than dinner plates. If you want brushed gold flatware that whispers, or a full gold place setting that doesn't, Ares is the line.
