Ninos AQ is a family owned and operated Italian restaurant in the heart of Astoria, Queens. Chef Franco Vendome brings his spin on Italian cuisine featuring several handmade pastas including a plethora of gluten-free choices. Craft cocktails and the wine program were curated by brother Michael Vendome highlighting Amari & small wine producers. The atmosphere is swanky, inviting, and warm with family pictures lining the main dining room.

I was responsible for designing the brand identity and collateral materials. Elements included logo, exterior and interior neon signage, business cards, postcards, and menus for brunch, dinner, and drinks. I worked closely with the owners and the interior designer to create a visual look and feel that compliments the modern flare of the restaurant while still paying homage to their traditional Italian roots.
