Project Spotlight: Retrofitting New Jersey Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in the Pandemic

Seasoned restaurateur, chef, and TV personality Vic Rallo joined forces with his business-minded brother, Bobby Rallo, to create New Jersey and New York restaurant concepts Birravino, Undici Taverna Rustica, and Surf, each with their own Italian charm and bona fide cuisine. Trattoria-style Birravino is the ideal spot to experience the authentic flavors of Italy right in New Jersey. Surf is the perfect neighborhood dining destination to enjoy artisan beers and unique cocktails in a warm, rustic environment. Undici, with its ancient stone and rustic wood accents, resembles a welcoming Tuscan farmhouse and offers rustic, homemade Italian cuisine.

Outdoor Design Spotlight: Johnston’s Saltbox

Johnston’s Saltbox is a name synonymous with quality and variety, highlighting the Bay Area's best local artisan products in a family-owned, local neighborhood-style restaurant. Their warm, inviting atmosphere has recently extended to an outdoor dining room in the form of a winter wonderland-esque greenhouse garden tent charmingly called the “Saltbox Bubble Lounge.” You can place your order at the outdoor patio window and sit down at one of their socially-distanced tables to enjoy a cozy mug of locally mulled wine in the beautiful San Carlos, California weather. The tent has recently been retrofitted with several ceiling-mounted CD-Series Infratech heating elements that offer guests the opportunity to dine outside in a vibrant, welcoming and comfortable space — an essential amenity, given today’s emphasis on promoting public health.
