We started this project as prototypes for our friends who wanted to start the Italian restaurant in Osaka Japan. The owners (the chef and his wife) met in Italy while they were traveling separately. They fell in love, and opened up the Italian restaurant together after they got married. We wanted to portrait this love story with the illustration throughout the design, where two people are drinking wine together and enjoying each other’s company, just like how the owners met in Italy.

In addition, we wanted to put the focus on typography to incorporate the shape of pasta. Just like how you make pasta, we extended and added the shapes so that they look more like a pasta.
