ROTEO is characterized by a young and elegant cuisine, which is based on local products and Mediterranean tradition, but at the same time declines through international techniques and flavors. The wine menu contains hundreds of labels from all over the world but the real focus stays on local supplier and small producers that supports their values such as environmental consciousness. The service is choreographic, attentive but not intrusive: there’s an elegant but also friendly atmosphere.
