Take a look at their current branding here.
This custom logoface was inspired by the signage present in Umbria, Italy, where the Giuseppe family originated. Through the use of cursive writing and unique characters, it expresses the idea of togetherness and originality.
The location of this restaurant is actually in a house, so the homey nature of the branding is even more fitting. The food illustrations were intended to highlight the quality of their food and engage viewers because of its hand-done nature.
