RoVino Rotisserie and Wine: Great Italian Food in Little Italy

I just returned from one our monthly lunch bunch outings.  This month we went to RoVino Rotisserie and Wine in Little Italy.  What a delicious meal.  There were six of us, we shared everything, in order to taste lots of different things, and we loved everything.  Rovino is on Kettner.  It's very small.  If you go for dinner, reservations are required.  Parking is the biggest problem in Little Italy.  My suggestion is to take the Coaster, and walk the 2-3 blocks from the train station.  One of the owners was most friendly, helped us order, and made sure that we helped celebrate Carol's birthday in style.  Here's a sampling of what we ate.

We began with a flatbread, smothered in veggies and olives and basil.  Just delicious, and a nice way to start the meal.  We followed that with a caesar salad with  homemade croutons.  Next,  Involtine de melanzane, a rolled eggplant dish stuffed with bread crumbs and topped with a magnificant red sauce.  Pasta con crema di piselli was probably our favorite dish.  Pureed peas mixed with cream, white wine, parmesean cheese and shallots  were the ingredients in the sauce which sat on top of fresh made pasta and fresh peas.  What a great dish.  Finally, we had the dish they are famous for, rotisserie chicken.  It was crispy and moist, served on a plank with roasted potatoes, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sliced carmelized onions, squash and carrots completed the plank.

It was Carol's birthday, so the restaurant brought out a piece of homemade tiramisu, along with three other desserts that we had also ordered.  The other desserts were a nutella tart, lemon ricotta cake, and cannoli with cherries.  We stumbled out, completely satisfied with our two hour meal.  I want to go again.  Sharing is the best way to sample the many delicious dishes that RoVino has to offer.
