Located off mt. pleasant st in Washington, DC. Bar Del Monte is a new italian restaurant that features wood fired pizza, delicious antipasti and some of the best wine you can find.
A big bay window provides all the natural light imaginable for the cherry interior to really glow.
Sleek marble tops grace the cherry bases an juxtapose the warm wood to create a visual balance in the place.
Stools line the edge of the bar with custom wainscoting and coat hooks.
Floating shelves designed with that same fluting represented in the table legs and aprons.
The arched aprons of the tables bring a cozy homage to Italian architecture.
Thirteen tables were constructed for this project, each of a specific size. The tables in this photo are 3 feet square.
The table leg’s shoulder is proud around the rest of the leg as a detail. One of the more tricky parts of the build because of the meticulous order of operations that had to be involved.
Cherry banquette, complete with storage underneath the seat and a 105 degree angle of seating to provide optimal comfort whilst still able to enjoy your food.

A light bar backs the banquette and bathes the original brick wall behind it in a warm yellow light.
A separate double-sided banquette was added to create an intimate setting for two on the backside as well as open up space for larger parties on the side facing the rest of the dining room.
A custom nameplate for the work was installed as a signature.
