THE ITALIANO
The Italiano is an expansive, 7,543-square-foot upscale Italian restaurant created by transforming a former pizza shop and cleaners into a modern culinary showcase The renovation brought bold limestone exteriors, a grand 3,175-square-foot covered patio with 128 seats, and live olive trees integrated throughout, blending the warmth of Italian tradition with contemporary design. Inside, guests are welcomed by an immersive hand-painted sky ceiling, color-shifting lighting, and art installations that honor the Maggiore family’s restaurant heritage.
Custom craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the use of natural materials to the innovative interior layout, which includes both a formal dining room and an indoor patio for an al fresco feel The menu is inspired by classic red sauce Italian cuisine, enhanced with Chef Joey’s creative touch, and features interactive tableside elements such as an antipasto cart, a limoncello cocktail cart, and a specialty dessert cart This vibrant space, meticulously coordinated among various trades and artisans, embodies a harmonious balance of elegance and functionality, delivering a hospitable, authentic Italian dining experience that celebrates both vision and heritage
UCHI
3821 N SCOTTSDALE RD HAI DESIGN STUDIO
The transformation of Uchi Scottsdale was both a technical and creative accomplishment. The renovation involved converting the former Bandera restaurant into a refined dining space that harmonizes Arizona’s warm, earthy tones with Japanese aesthetics Key features included the installation of sculptural arched wood ceilings inspired by southwestern ramadas, custom tables, and flooring in sandy shades all reflecting a sophisticated yet welcoming ambiance
Coordinating with Hai Design Studio, Hazelbaker Rush, and AV3 Design, the project required precision and adaptability, from integrating local and national artwork to ensuring the space suited a 207-seat dining room with patio and bar areas Extra care was paid to finishes, lighting, and acoustics to foster both intimacy and energy Every step, from sourcing materials to final installation, was focused on honoring the chef’s vision, Scottsdale’s vibrant culinary scene, and delivering an inviting, elevated experience for every guest.
THE ROSTICCERIA
p p g p j
contractor’s perspective, blending robust Italian design elements with urban edge. The build started with converting a 5,372-square-foot shell into a dynamic space that seats 226 guests, balancing indoor flair with outdoor comfort Installing bold Roman-inspired decor including gladiator statues, murals, and graffiti required coordination with artisan trades and careful sequencing to meet strict finish requirements without compromising existing design intent
Integration of an expansive bar, innovative DJ booth, and specialty kitchen for wood-fired meats meant precise mechanical, electrical, and plumbing planning to accommodate both front and back-of-house needs The open layout and vibrant atmosphere involved acoustical considerations and durable materials to withstand high foot-traffic and ease of maintenance. Weekly live entertainment and the novel build-your-own gelato shake bar added complexity, necessitating flexible infrastructure and collaborative teamwork between subcontractors. In the end, the project’s success lay in fusing creative vision with practical craftsmanship, delivering a unique restaurant that celebrates both tradition and contemporary flair.
JOJO’S SHAKE BAR
JoJo’s Shake Bar in Scottsdale posed a challenge for the construction team, demanding precision and adaptability throughout the build. The project featured fabrication and installation of custom booths, a game shroud mimicking a waffle cone, and specialty pastry shelving. Evolving specifications required seamless collaboration across
and efficient resource management The team converted the space into contemporary Mediterranean fast-casual restaurants, blending durability with warmth and sophistication Scope included installing custom digital pickup shelving, upholstered seating, and detailed millwork while integrating strategic lighting and greenery to reflect the brand’s Mediterranean roots Executed under tight timelines, the project demanded precise scheduling and collaboration to maintain design integrity, ensuring each location delivered both aesthetic charm and high-performance functionality in a fast-paced build environment.
JAMIE’SBOTTLESHOP
This shop was a sophisticated renovation of a 2,300-square-foot space designed by Mendil + Meyer Design Studio The project featured natural wood elements, gold and green accents, and climate-controlled lighting The build included custom floor-to-ceiling wine display shelves, a temperature- and humidity-controlled Reserve Room for rare wines, and a Champagne Room for tastings. Precise coordination and craftsmanship ensured a refined yet welcoming atmosphere for wine lovers of all levels. The project balanced functionality and aesthetic appeal, delivering a unique wine retail and tasting experience in Old Town Scottsdale.
TELEFERIC BARCELONA
7014 EAST CAMELBACK RD . ARCSINE
Telefèric Barcelona’s Scottsdale opening is a solid example of a hospitality build that has to balance brand experience, fast-track coordination, and a high-traffic retail environment. The over 8,000-square-foot restaurant sits in one of the Valley’s busiest shopping and dining destinations, so logistics, access, and tenant coordination are as important as the interior finish
The job centered on tight sequencing, trade coordination, and maintaining quality while delivering a space with a strong design identity A concept like this also demands careful execution around kitchen infrastructure, specialty bar and dining features, and finishes that support both daytime traffic and a lively evening atmosphere
What makes a project like Telefèric Barcelona notable is that it is not just another restaurant build; it is a flagshipstyle opening for the brand in Arizona. For us, that means the final product has to feel polished, durable, and operationally efficient from day one.
