A new Italian restaurant is putting the finishing touches on its prime corner of Little Italy with the goal of opening next month. Roman Wolves is landing at the junction of Fir and Kettner in the Broadstone building replacing the Heights, a short-tenured modern European restaurant that took over the space from Cafe Gratitude, which shuttered in early 2023.

The 4,000-square-foot site has been completely redesigned, with a larger bar and lounge area that will revolve around cocktails made with Italian spirits and a variety of lower ABV spritzes. For those who can’t stop thinking about the Roman Empire, the decor will incorporate elements of ancient Rome as well as contemporary details inspired by Italy’s capital city.
