RO Hospitality
Ryan Pernice and his brother Daniel, restaurant co-owners, have lived in Roswell for 25+ years, both graduating from Roswell High School many years ago. They currently own three restaurants: Table & Main and Osteria Mattone in Roswell and Coalition Food and Beverage in Alpharetta. Ryan graduated from Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration with distinction in 2007. Afterwards, he lived in New York City working for acclaimed restaurateur Danny Meyer at Maialino, an Italian trattoria, before moving home in 2011 to open Table & Main. Ryan’s restaurants are currently back to full operation and trying everything under the sun to remain top-of-mind for potential guests amidst all this craziness. Early on in the pandemic, they transformed Table & Main into a soup kitchen donating meals at no charge to the newly food insecure. They are proud to have fed 9,750 people during this difficult time.
