Rollati Ristorante

Good Food, Good Wine, Good Friends

Rollati Ristorante is an ode to Italian grandfathers (nonno in Italian)—a place where family and food are what matter most, and everything is done with style. Rollati evokes a warm and sincerity inspired by vintage charm, with an added contemporary perspective. Buon Cibo. Buon Vino. Buon Amici.
