It all started with a bang. Literally. Urbano’s debut on the Annapolis food scene was nothing short of extravagant. A DJ spun the soundtrack while a Cinco de Mayo street party spilled out into the night, crowned by a sky full of fireworks. Urbano wasn’t content with a quiet debut—it demanded attention, turning heads and setting the stage for the vibrant, bold flavors that would follow. What happened next surprised no one; the 5,000-square-foot venue soon filled with the curious who would shortly become dedicated fans. Both the food and the unique, celebratory ambiance made it an instant hit that quickly became a cult staple of Mexican cuisine in the DC metro area.
Design
Urbano’s decor is a study of uniformity amidst chaos. Ranks of seating stand at attention with a flower-hatted skull overseeing the scene, the bold colors of the mural clashing beautifully with the rigid lines of the tables. The mural’s wild patterns and vibrant palette pulse with life, while the neatly arranged furniture pieces create a sense of balance, almost like the restaurant itself is caught between two worlds: the structured and the untamed. The energy here lives in more than just the food—it’s in the walls, the art, and the careful collision of order and artistic rebellion.
It's a screamingly urban design, yet it isn’t. Tradition doesn’t often blend with wild youthful enthusiasm, yet here, tasteful upholstery and solid wood make their presence known among pink neon signs and authentic factory lighting. Clear coat frames give a subtle nod to industrial influence, but just a hint. In most places, this collision of design themes wouldn’t work. Here, though, it does. Precision design and careful forethought perfectly reflect exactly what Urbano offers—fun, food, and the feeling that every visit is a special occasion. It all started with a party, and that party hasn’t ended yet.
Nico Metal Chair in Clear Coat Finish
This piece is a perfect fit. It straddles the line of factory edginess and modern-traditional design concept with its clash of metal frame imperfections and tasteful London tan upholstery. It suits both a suburban eatery and an urban-inspired interior such as this. The Nico delivers industrial strength with just enough refinement to stand out in bold spaces while integrating into more understated environments. Its presence commands attention, yet not too much, offering the perfect balance between raw edge and polished sophistication no matter the setting.
Crafted with an industrial-style clear-coat finish on its generously built 16-gauge steel frame, our Nico Metal Chair is thoughtfully designed for heavy commercial use. The choice of several elegant vinyl colors opens this piece to placement in a range of professional settings. A gently curved waterfall seat ensures guest comfort for a cocktail or 5-course meal.
