About Us

The idea was born shortly after the lockdown, Andrea and I spent nearly 3 months of solitude on my family’s property in Beaudesert; building vegetable gardens, cooking on open flame and sometimes doing absolutely nothing. Being given an unexpected amount of time to think about our lives and future, we quickly realised going back to a “normal” lifestyle was not going to happen, and so began the dream.

​After a conversation with Mum in August 2020, (one that I started at 19 years old upon realising that hospitality was the best career in the world and refused to let anyone tell me otherwise), we discussed the possibilities, recognised the potential and Rosmarino began to take shape. ​

Head Chef Tommaso Belforti crafts a menu rooted in traditional Italian cooking, enhanced by his Michelin-star background. He adds his own flair and modern take to each dish, creating a unique dining experience

We look forward to welcoming you to our little piece of Italy in Fortitude Valley.
