Raising the Bar: Full-Service Outdoor Bar

BOSTON - June 22, 2015 - PRLog -- WHAT: As part of a continuing effort to bring interesting and engaging experiences to the South End dining scene in Boston, MA; Cinquecento, the award-winning Roman Trattoria, is raising the bar once again with the addition of its new seasonal “Rosso Patio Bar at Cinquecento.” The 12-seat full service outdoor bar will be installed on the patio of Cinquecento and will fold in an engaging aesthetic to the design-rich SOWA district. The new bar is proudly the first outdoor bar in the area constructed completely from a recycled shipping container.

The Aquitaine Group built this new ½ art installation, ½ entertainment amenity to create yet another reason to draw people to dine al fresco from other parts of the city. “It’s our job as restaurateurs to create reasons for people to choose our restaurants. Everything from the food we put on the plate, to the spaces we create all have an emotional response and are all part of the dining experience. With every space we create we start with something that we would want in our neighborhoods. The addition of the Rosso Patio Bar at Cinquecento was created with the mindful intention of being part of this neighborhood and I think it gives people yet another reason to enjoy outdoor dining in the South End,” said Seth Woods.

When The Aquitaine Group decided that they wanted this new outdoor bar created they moved quickly, drawing their own sketches and seeking out a shipping container they could have modified. They found a partner in the process in Brian Quick from Mini Warehousing Inc. in Mansfield, MA. After the shell was created Cinquecento finished the design and outfitted the shipping container with lighting, seating and all its other amenities. The design and creation of the Rosso Patio Bar at Cinquecento happened in only 32 days. The Rosso Patio Bar at Cinquecento will serve as an outdoor extension of Cinquecento, living on its outdoor patio serving the same menu items available within the restaurant. Seating is on a first come first serve basis.


The Rosso Patio Bar at Cinquecento is located on the patio at Cinquecento Roman Trattoria, 500 Harrison Ave. Boston, MA 02118. For more information please call: (617) 338-9500 or visit: http://www.cinquecentoboston.com/
