The logo, featuring the national bird of Italy, the Italian Sparrow, is a very social bird. Featured inside of a family crest, the logo represents the meeting of new faces but also the importance of family.
The menu uses Italian mosaic tile shapes with graphic textures from photos taken on Commercial Drive. Every wall, brick, and mural is reflected in the design, with each menu color-coded for easy distinction. Brand characters appear throughout, representing specific dishes.
All food items are named after streets on ‘The Drive,’ celebrating the area’s people, homes, and community spirit.
Mosaic tile style coasters serve as a perfect complement to the menu, featuring a consistent brand motif of the tiles representing the eclectic appearance of Commercial Drive.
This packaging for this project was awarded an honourable mention for the 2025 RGD Student Awards for Packaging Series. (Miliano's Unlikely Pairings Pasta Sauce)
