Carli Clesmere New restaurants are constantly popping up across Bergen County, giving locals plenty of opportunities to try something new. From cozy cafés to cool dining concepts, the food scene in the area keeps growing. Now, Tenafly has added another spot to its lineup. ROSTO, a wood-fired rotisserie concept, is bringing its take on open-flame cooking and modern family dining to 4 Highwood Avenue. Read on for more about this new Bergen County foodie spot.
About ROSTO
ROSTO is a custom-built rotisserie concept powered entirely by burning wood, without gas or hybrid fuel. The Texas-built system is one of the few fully wood-fired indoor rotisserie setups currently operating in the United States. Chickens rotate slowly over the open flame in full view of guests, creating natural caramelization and a distinct wood-fired flavor.

According to the restaurant’s website, ROSTO is a neighborhood kitchen with a single focus: fire-roasted whole chicken. The chickens are sourced from Amish farms and are pasture-raised with no antibiotics. The culinary program is led by Chef Nitzan Raz, whose background includes roles at Mesa Grill, Nobu Tribeca, Jean-Georges, and SushiSamba. The Tenafly location is the brand’s first.
What’s on the Menu
The menu at ROSTO is centered around a few main categories, including rotisserie chicken, sandwiches, salads, sides, and family meal options. While Team BG always appreciates a good rotisserie chicken, the sandwich section in particular caught our eye.
One menu option that caught BG’s eye is the Fire-Roasted Chicken Sandwich, which comes with caramelized onions, house-pickled onions, pickles, house BBQ sauce, and habanero aioli on a ciabatta roll + served with crispy fries.
