Zibetto Espresso Bar has been offering a “luxury within reach” café experience to its customers since 2006, when it opened its first 6th Avenue Location. The 3rd and latest location at Rockefeller Center features high-efficiency LED lighting, state of the art espresso brewing equipment, and an environmentally conscious automatic grease interceptor system. EP Engineering was responsible for designing the Electrical, Fire Alarm, Plumbing, and Sprinkler systems for the space.
