If you are looking for a taste of the old country, or are just craving some comfort food, look no further than the newest addition to the Rotary Centre for the Arts.
Roma Nord Bistro officially opened its doors at the downtown Rotary campus on March 30, bringing a taste of Roman-style Italian cuisine to Kelowna diners.
乌鸦传媒淲e could not be more pleased to welcome Roma Nord to the RCA and Kelowna community,乌鸦传媒� said Colleen Fitzpatrick, the executive director of the RCA. 乌鸦传媒淭he culinary arts are a beautiful, engaging way to create cross-cultural understanding, and we乌鸦传媒檙e confident that Roma Nord乌鸦传媒檚 fresh, flavorful food will pair perfectly with the local Okanagan art and music that we feature in our Atrium.乌鸦传媒�
The menu, ranging from everything from pastas to pizzas, could not be more authentic - owners Danilo and Angela D乌鸦传媒橝lba emigrated from Rome, Italy to Canada approximately five years ago. Danilo said, through a translator, that the couple乌鸦传媒檚 dream is to 乌鸦传媒渂ring the experience of dining on a Roman piazza to Kelowna.
乌鸦传媒淲e want people to understand what makes Roman food distinct from other Italian cuisines. We want to create something true to our Roman roots.乌鸦传媒�
Both Danilo and Angela are well-versed in the culinary world. Danilo spent many years managing his family乌鸦传媒檚 butcher shop in Italy, with Angela joining the business as an experienced home cook.
Their motto? 乌鸦传媒淔ewer ingredients, but lots of love.乌鸦传媒�
The D乌鸦传媒橝lbas seem to have already made Kelowna their home.
乌鸦传媒淲alking around Kelowna in May, when the flowers are coming out, reminds me of being in Rome in the spring,乌鸦传媒� said Danilo. 乌鸦传媒淭he climate, the vegetables, the fruit, and the wine乌鸦传媒攊t乌鸦传媒檚 all very Roman.乌鸦传媒�
The fully-licensed bistro is open for both dine-in and takeout Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m.
