Rovino • Little Italy
Our Menu
Classic Italian comfort with a Little Italy point of view. Our plates are large, rustic and meant to be shared – start with boards, move into handmade pasta, and don’t skip something from the rotisserie.
Family Style Dining
We’re a family-run restaurant and we encourage you to order the same way – family style. Order a few plates for the table and share. Many dishes can be prepared gluten-free or vegan – just ask your server.
