Dario is a new restaurant venture from industry veterans Joe Rolle and Stephen Rowe
Serving handmade pastas, seasonal vegetables, and first-class cocktails, our menu takes inspiration from Chef Joe Rolle’s north woods upbringing, diverse cooking experience and global travels.
Tucked away in a quiet pocket of the bustling North Loop neighborhood, guests can expect a dining experience best described as “energetic sophistication.”
Chef Joe Rolle
Chef Joe Rolle has nearly twenty years of culinary experiences at some of the Twin Cities’ premier restaurants. Rolle began his career in the kitchen at The Dakota, working under and learning from the late legend Jack Riebel. From there, Rolle worked at such restaurants as Martina, Il Foro, and Borough.
Dario is a culminating expression of his professional experiences, northern Minnesota upbringing, global culinary inspiration, and deep love for the city of Minneapolis.
Stephen Rowe
As Dario’s Beverage Director, Stephen Rowe brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. He bartended for nearly a decade as one of the founding team members of Marvel Bar, a world-renowned, award-winning cocktail bar in the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis.
Stephen’s ambition is to deliver a first-rate beverage program at Dario that can stand on its own while complementing Chef Rolle’s menu.
