How Nardò, a Top Italian Restaurant in LA, Grew Its Audience 5X in Just 2 Months
The Challenge: Turning Nardò Into a Digital & Real-World Destination
In Los Angeles, where top-tier restaurants compete for attention, standing out requires more than just great food—it demands a powerful brand presence.
Nardò already had an incredible atmosphere, a mouth-watering menu, and a unique Italian identity, but their digital presence needed to match the real-life experience.
Our mission:
-
Amplify their brand presence and differentiate them from LA’s crowded restaurant scene.
-
Engage and attract food lovers through captivating social media storytelling.
-
Drive foot traffic and reservations by leveraging Instagram and TikTok as customer acquisition tools.
Our Strategy:
A “Video-First” Approach to Captivate & Convert
The restaurant industry thrives on visual appeal. The experience starts before the first bite—it starts on a screen.
To position Nardò as the go-to Italian restaurant in LA, we crafted a content strategy that blended cinematic storytelling, food aesthetics, and digital virality.
Mouthwatering Video Content
We implemented a video-first approach, ensuring every post was an immersive experience. Think sizzling pasta, golden crust pizzas, and slow-motion cheese pulls—all designed to trigger cravings instantly.
First-Person Dining Experiences
Rather than just showcasing food, we put the audience inside the restaurant. Our videos captured the ambiance, cocktail craftsmanship, and vibrant social energy that define a night out at Nardò.
Real-Time Events & Trend Adaptation
Los Angeles is an ever-changing city, and social media trends move fast. We created event-driven and trend-inspired content to keep Nardò relevant and continuously expand its reach.
Behind-the-Scenes: The Story Behind the Dish
We showcased the art and passion of Nardò’s chefs, featuring handmade pasta being rolled, fresh ingredients being prepped, and bartenders crafting signature cocktails. This humanized the brand and created a deeper emotional connection with the audience.
