NEW CONSTRUCTION / HONOR

Project: Bianco Ristorante Italiano
Owners: Tom Allisma, Nick Hogan,
Anthony Hitchcock, & Tony Gentile
Firm: Tom Allisma Productions
Photographer: Tom Kessler, Omaha, Nebraska

The simple name, crisp clean lines and a splash of white and citrus was the main theme that was brought back from travels to Italy. Keeping it simple was what the Italians seemed to be the best at and that modern aspect was what the owners really wanted for their new eatery. The project is located within a west Omaha strip retail center and the space that it occupies is 3200 square feet. The center itself is somewhat non-descript and the owners really wanted to make a bold, yet simple impression on their clients inside and out.

Jury Comment: “The architect created ambiance in this restaurant which would be challenging on a small budget. The creative orange lights make it look like a fun place to go.”
