Manteca is a nose-to-tail Italian-inspired restaurant offering customers a luxury dining experience with their whole-animal butchery, hand-rolled pastas and wood-fired breads.

After opening the doors to their first permanent premises in 2020 the team behind Manteca approached United Creatives for a new brand identity that celebrates the fine craft of cooking.

Part of the project saw us working with the Urban Crafts Foundation to create a suite of signage for the restaurant. We supplied designs for a handwritten logotype and supporting letterforms, which were reproduced in brass by an expert blacksmith. Inspiration for the signage came from the metal rebar sigs which adorn cafés and restaurants across Spain.

The brand language was extended throughout the restaurant with a number of printed deliverables including menus and drinks coasters. We helped capture the art of fine dining with a decorative menu cover created using high resolution scans of the cured meats and salumeria offered at the restaurant.
