Restaurant | Wine Bar
Research Phase
Before writing a single line of code, our research agent studied Bar Nonno — their current website, social presence, reviews, team, and services. Here's what stood out.
Opened January 2014 — born from a grandson and son's shared dream to combine simple food with biodynamic and organic wines
Happy Hour every Thursday 5-7pm with 30% off wine by the glass
The front bar doubles as a bottle shop, and there's a courtyard with a fresh herb garden used in the kitchen
Design Phase
Every design decision was intentional — informed by the research, not pulled from a template library.
Visual Direction
Warm espresso and burgundy palette with amber light accents, cream typography, and a sophisticated wine-bar atmosphere inspired by Italian enotecas.
Design Rationale
Bar Nonno is built on Italian family heritage and wine culture. The warm espresso-and-burgundy palette evokes an intimate enoteca — the kind of place where you linger over a glass. The design lets the food and wine speak rather than competing with flashy visuals.
Build Phase
Site Architecture
// Next.js App Router
Methodology
Spark (research agent) scraped Bar Nonno's current website, Google reviews, social media, and business listings. Every piece of real data — team names, service pricing, business hours, unique details — was extracted into a structured profile.
Based on the research, a bespoke design direction was created specifically for Bar Nonno. No templates — the typography, color palette, layout patterns, and visual effects were all chosen to match this business's personality and industry.
Pixel (design agent) built the entire 6-page Next.js application from scratch — 2 custom components, real content from the research phase, App Router with proper routing, and production-grade code.
Sentinel (QA agent) verified the build compiles cleanly, checked for placeholder content, validated all routes render correctly, and confirmed the design is unique (not recycled from another demo).
Additional Notes
Research sourced from barnonno.com.au, Google reviews, and social media profiles. All business data — services, team, pricing, hours — extracted and verified from public sources.
More from the experiment
This case study is part of the AI Web Lab — a 30-day experiment where AI agents build bespoke websites for real Melbourne businesses. Every site is researched, designed, and built from scratch by a team of five specialist AI agents. The full methodology, code, and results are documented transparently.
This study is being prepared for publication as part of a research paper on AI-assisted web development at scale.
We built Bar Nonno's site in 4 minutes. Same process, same quality — a custom website built for you, not a template.
