RoVino Rotisserie + Wine

Tom Tarantino, Antonia Buono and Vincenzo Bruno opened RoVino on Kettner Boulevard in 2016, and San Diego Magazine named it Best New Restaurant the following year, then Best Italian Restaurant in both 2018 and 2019. Frank and Rosalia Anctil now run the rotisserie and wine bar, serving a half chicken with roasted vegetables alongside housemade ravioli, chicken tortellini and Roman-style pinsa. The room is built for walk-ins and weeknights, with warm lighting and a low hum of conversation over the wine list.
