Led by Chef Gabriel Padilla, Rustico has become renowned for its Spanish-Italian fusion cuisine, offering a tantalizing menu of tapas, wood-fired pizzas, and homemade pastas. Our initial task was to create a simple and sleek website that reflected the warmth of the restaurant's interior rustic aesthetic, using monochromatic brown tones to highlight the essence of each dish. Subsequently, we continued our partnership by assisting with restaurant marketing efforts, focusing on increasing social media following and maintaining consistency in posting.
