Case history

The SARA restaurant chain

Bucarest
Romania

Sara was the idea of Luigi Caverni, an Italian businessman who runs a major engineering group with headquarters in Bucharest, and a great fan of Italian food and wine specialities.

The first restaurant opened in 2016 in an exclusive part of central Bucharest, with the aim of promoting a format offering the very best Italian food and wine. The restaurant’s top quality raw materials are on display to customers and are prepared in the best traditions of Mediterranean cuisine.

Sara is not just another Italian restaurant abroad, serving tourist menus with dishes of which only the name is really Italian.

Sara selects the very best ingredients from Italy, imports them into Romania and prepares them in true Italian style.

The chain’s furnishings, colours and lighting have all been carefully chosen by a staff of experts to offer customers a casual but richly detailed ambience.

Sara now has two restaurants in Bucharest and is planning to open others outside Romania using a franchising formula.

NEW MODELS FOR THE MOST DEMANDING TASTES

Enofrigo was contacted by Luigi Caverni’s staff after a thorough analysis of potential suppliers. As with its choice of foods and wines, Sara is also demanding when it comes to furnishings and equipment.

Their request focused on the supply of two types of cabinet in particular.

CABINETS FOR DISPLAYING AND SERVING WINES AT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE

We worked on 3 different models.

Wine Library 3P Wall
Sara needed an elegant, distinctive wine display cabinet to blend harmoniously with other furnishings, offer plenty of storage space and add value to the products on display.

Enogalax Wall 2400
This cabinet was installed in a specially created niche in the dining room. The Enogalax model was chosen for its size and for the flexibility guaranteed by supports that can display wine bottles in different positions.

i.Am 2000 ventilated
In one of the chain’s restaurants, i.Am was used to create a ‘wine wall’ that provides excellent storage capacity, displays the wine selection effectively and ensures that wine is always served at the right temperature.

REFRIGERATED DISPLAY CABINETS FOR COLD CUTS
AND CHEESES

In Sara’s restaurants, most of the ingredients – rigorously imported from Italy – are on display for diners to see.

In addition to enriching customers’ sensory experience, this bright idea also promotes take-away sales of the products.

To cater for this need, we proposed our Mondrian Wall Horizontal displays with remote refrigeration system.

This model was chosen because it respects all necessary HACCP requirements for correct food display and also offers the stylistic and functional characteristics requested by Sara staff.

The product lines listed above and their finishes were chosen in collaboration with Sara’s architects and corporate chef, with the objective of providing equipment able to maximise business profitability.
