Discover ROSY: An Innovative Open-Fire Dining Experience in Cleveland's Hingetown

ROSY: A New Culinary Adventure in Hingetown, Cleveland

In late January 2026, Cleveland's Hingetown will welcome ROSY, an innovative open-fire dining experience brought to life by the acclaimed team behind Cordelia, including Andrew Watts and two-time James Beard nominee Chef Vinnie Cimino. This new establishment aims to merge community spirit with ancestral European cuisine, celebrating not just food but also the essence of human connection over shared meals.

A Fresh Approach to Dining

The name ROSY reflects the founders' optimistic vision and their commitment to hospitality. Guests can expect an ever-evolving communal menu filled with fire-cooked offerings, designed for sharing and discovery. Each visit promises something different as the menu shifts with the seasons and the available local produce.

The culinary creations will showcase hyper-seasonal ingredients sourced within a 200-mile radius, highlighting the rich agricultural bounty of the region. The menu will feature four waves of food, centered primarily around proteins—whether animal or plant-based—crafted for communal enjoyment. Accompanying these shareable dishes will be a selection of quickly rotating à la carte plates, ensuring that meals reflect the freshest available ingredients.

Culinary Inspirations

Chef Cimino draws inspiration from the coastal delicacies of the Istrian peninsula, which spans Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia. His Ancestral European cuisine not only pays homage to Cleveland's diverse cultural heritage but also focuses on the best offerings of local farms. Expect tantalizing dishes such as preserved lemon celery, various olive blends, rich pork neck with sage, and monkfish prepared with paprika and tomatoes.

This approach to cooking with open flames will breathe new life into traditional recipes, with a commitment to using local ingredients at their peak. "Through ROSY, we want guests to truly savor the best of our region and season," says Cimino. "Every bite will tell a story of where we are and the community that supports us."

An Inclusive Atmosphere

True to the essence of Midwest Nice Hospitality, ROSY promises a warm environment paired with attentive service and top-quality ingredients. The restaurant will accommodate around 50 diners, featuring custom communal seating designed to foster connections amongst guests—whether they come in groups or alone, ready to meet new friends.

Beyond the gastronomic offerings, ROSY aims to create opportunities for its dedicated staff and build lasting relationships with local suppliers, spotlighting the region’s culinary and cultural richness. Watts emphasizes, "We are here to give back to the community, enhance our teamwork, and look after our local food scene."

ROSY stands among friends, renowned architecture, and the vibrant West Side Market in Hingetown, promising a culinary journey that excites local palates and brings together neighbors. This venture symbolizes a commitment to Cleveland, adding to the tapestry of its flourishing dining scene.
