Fido Restaurant:
Where Elevated Dining
Meets Everyday Joy
A hospitality project that wags its tail
ArnoldAnd is excited to unveil our latest hospitality project which launched in July, 2025: Fido Pizza, a new restaurant concept that blends high design with a playful, community-driven ethos.
Fido Pizza is more than a restaurant—it’s a lifestyle experience. Set in a light-filled corner space with expansive windows and natural materials, the restaurant invites guests to feel like they’ve entered a friend’s kitchen or a sunny European café. The design pays homage to the everyday rituals of walking your dog, grabbing a coffee, and enjoying neighborhood life. It’s familiar, fresh, and a little bit cheeky.
Our scope included full architectural and interior design services—everything from spatial planning and finishes to millwork and mood lighting. The goal? Create a warm, approachable environment that transitions seamlessly from day to night.
“Fido is a celebration of the kind of easy, elegant design that doesn’t try too hard. It’s refined without being fussy,” says Matthew Arnold, founder of ArnoldAnd. “We wanted it to feel immediately comfortable—but with a sense of surprise that keeps people coming back.”
From the dog-eared menu concept to the subtle use of leather, terrazzo, and matte black fixtures, Fido is a testament to how architecture can shape how people feel, linger, and connect.
