Client: Racanelli Restaurant Group
Locations Featured: The Sinclair, Sophie’s, and Malibu Taco — Fairfield, CT
Scope: Custom Fabricated Storefront Signage

When the Racanelli Restaurant Group — the team behind beloved eateries like The Sinclair, Sophie’s, and Malibu Taco — needed standout signage for their Fairfield locations, they turned to ABC Sign Corp to bring their vision to life.

Known for creating distinct and memorable dining experiences, Racanelli understands that a guest’s first impression often starts with the exterior. That’s where ABC stepped in — fabricating and installing clean, modern, and brand-forward signs that match the elevated aesthetic of each location.

The Challenge

Each of the three restaurants has its own identity:

• The Sinclair exudes modern elegance and needed a sign to reflect that with dimensional lettering, clean lines, and refined lighting.
• Sophie’s offers warmth and charm, calling for a playful yet upscale typeface.
• Malibu Taco is coastal and casual, demanding signage that captures a relaxed, beachy vibe while remaining sleek.

Despite these differing brand personalities, the signs needed to remain cohesive under the Racanelli brand umbrella and adhere to local building regulations.

ABC’s Solution

ABC Sign Corp delivered fully custom, 3D dimensional signage for each restaurant. Highlights include:

• Fabricated aluminum dimensional letters for durability and style
• Flush-mounted installations for a clean, high-end appearance
• Matte finishes in sophisticated hues to complement each facade
• Discreet external lighting to keep the signs visible after dark without disrupting the ambiance
• Precision mounting and alignment, ensuring optimal readability and brand presence from the street

The Result

The new signage doesn’t just mark a location — it enhances it. The Sinclair’s sign commands attention with understated luxury. Sophie’s curves and playful script feel inviting, and Malibu Taco’s hand-lettered look signals fun, flavor, and flair.

Together, the signage unites three diverse spaces under one design-forward vision — and establishes Racanelli’s portfolio as not only culinary destinations but visual ones too.
