More About Altezza Rooftop opens May 28 in Streeterville
Altezza Rooftop, the newest concept from Chicago-based Roanoke Hospitality, is set to open May 28 at 101 E. Erie St., bringing an Italian-inspired rooftop experience to Streeterville. Named for the Italian word meaning both physical elevation and noble stature, Altezza Rooftop will seamlessly blend the timeless Italian art of living well with the bold, exciting energy of a Chicago rooftop.
The new rooftop’s menu, built by Executive Chef Jacob Arenas in collaboration with the group’s VP of Culinary two-time James Beard Award Winner and Michelin Chef Rick Tramonto, will take its cues from Italy's beloved aperitivo tradition: a culture built around elevated small-plate dining and craft cocktails meant for savoring slowly. The cocktail program will spotlight original creations rooted in seasonal, Italian-forward flavors, complemented by a selection of shareable small plates perfect for golden hour grazing and wood-fired pizzas for something more substantial.
“We’ve designed the Altezza Rooftop experience to bring the warmth of the aperitivo culture to Chicago,” said Bryan Gerrish, CEO of Roanoke Hospitality. “We want guests to come up to the rooftop, slow down in our gorgeous space, have a bite to eat and feel like they have the whole city to themselves for a few hours.”
An elevated oasis perfect for everything from after-work happy hour to celebrating some of life’s most special moments, the launch of Altezza Rooftop is bolstered by Roanoke Hospitality's established Chicago portfolio, which includes La Bella Trattoria Loop, La Bella Trattoria on Rush, Mexican Radio, Roanoke and Grill on 21.
Reservations are available via Open Table. To stay updated on the opening, diners can follow @altezzarooftop on social media.
