Located in Brooklyn , NY, Bonao Bar and Grill is a Latin American restaurant and features a modern Dominican cuisine. The restaurant’s new design meets  Alfonsina's 3 pillars for commercial design: Escape, authenticity and shareable moments, as originally presented in the Designer's Dish section for Restaurant Development + Design Magazine. In this dining experience, honest materials and tribal island details come to play in a modern, urban setting with warm golden hues and rich textures. Tactile fringe for guests to interact with, and carved wood at the bar are some of the many details for conversation.  Envisioned and curated by Alfonsina Romero Design, the atmosphere draws on tribal heritage while embracing creative twists, (like a parametric focal and a flooring pattern inspired by colonial streets) offering a dining experience that feels both familiar and very inspiring.
