What happens when a family builds a restaurant to bring their daughter and her chef boyfriend back home? You get Rovali's, an Italian restaurant where every dish is seasoned with love, legacy and a touch of entrepreneurial brilliance.
In this episode, I sit down with Alex, founder of Rovali's, as he shares the story behind their 20 year journey in Ogden, Utah. From humble beginnings to historic downtown revival and original dessert creations, this episode is a heartwarming blend of food, family and pride. We dive into the challenges (and laughter) of working together, the importance of preserving Italian American culture in cuisine, and how Rovali's became more than a restaurant- it became a home.
