Throwing it back to one of my favorite meals from last year. @rolosnyc in Ridgewood, Queens is the kind of place that sticks with you long after the meal is over.

It’s a casual neighborhood wood-fired bar and grill focused on simple, seasonal, ingredient-driven cooking. The kind of place that feels lived-in and welcoming the moment you walk in.
