Now, an expanded menu with a variety of dishes are the order of the day for Joburg diners looking for something warm, comforting and ideal for the colder winter months.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We typically associate Italian food with pizza and pasta, but at ROSTO we\u2019ve turned that idea on its head, offering food that is both comforting and completely different. ROSTO\u2019s menu delivers on flavour, freshness and offers dishes that aren\u2019t necessarily laden with carbs, though we do say that a fresh piece of focaccia to share is never a bad thing. &#8211; founder of ROSTO Lance Littlefield<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3290\" src=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rosto-04-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rosto-04-copy.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rosto-04-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rosto-04-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rosto-04-copy-364x243.jpg 364w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rosto-04-copy-758x505.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rosto-04-copy-608x405.jpg 608w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>At ROSTO, organic, free-range chicken will always be the star of the show<\/strong><\/span>, but new dishes added to the menu include six varieties of Polpette, meatballs of every flavour served in a wholesome tomato sugo and accompanied with crusty ciabatta and a new Thursday pork concept.
