Interior Fit out Specialists Dawnvale were appointed as main contractor to a new bar and pizzeria chain making its debut in Warrington. The designers R2 Architecture behind such fabled Liverpool drinking holes as Alma de Cuba, Baby Cream and Panaromic have applied their skills to the interior scheme in conjunction with Dawnvale’s Projects Team.An early visit in November to the North West Design Centre with Baffitos Managing Director, proved invaluable to enable a fast track programme to be planned for a pre-xmas commencement date.
Baffitos 140 cover restaurant is spread over 1.100 sq ft, the centre stage of the restaurant is the traditional stone hearth oven around which the theatre kitchen encompasses the dining space. Dawnvale commented, “We are thrilled to have been so heavily involved from early discussions through the opening of this exciting new concept. This project has been passionately managed throughout all stages to ensure no detail is missed.”
The restaurant is divided into piazza, Trattoria, garden and cafe.
The piazza area juxtaposes farmhouse-style furniture with zesty bright colours, laid out on a checkerboard vintage tiled floor. The large hand-drawn illustrations on the walls map out the Baffito’s brand story, whilst referencing the striking inner city graffiti found in Naples.
The cafe, with its caged light-bulbs, customised chairs and olive leather booths, is the most informal area, where the clientele can relax with a cappuccino, away from the hustle and bustle of the main restaurant.
