An already prominent restaurant, Scalo Northern Italian Grill in Albuquerque's historic Nob Hill Shopping Center, needed an expanded, upgraded bar along with a substantially renovated kitchen. Code requirements also dictated new restrooms and modifications to mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems. The new bar has become a focal point for this popular eatery and represents an updated version of existing themes. A new second floor dining room accommodates restaurant overflow and private parties.
