Rolo's

Founded during the pandemic by Gramercy Tavern alumni, Rolo's is a wood-fired bar and grill on a Ridgewood corner that has become hard to book. The main dining room is softly lit with a view of the grill and oven; the bar is darker, livelier and kept for walk-ins.

The order is the two-sheet lasagna verde, then wood-fired polenta bread with sesame and wild oregano, head-on salt-and-pepper shrimp and the double cheeseburger. During the day it does sandwiches and baked goods, and weekends bring brunch.
