Our Story
Discover the history of Raduno Brick Oven & Barroom. Housed in a historic 1920 building, we carry on a century-old neighborhood tradition of food and community in SoMa.
Over a Century of Flavor
The building where Raduno operates carries a rich culinary heritage that stretches back over a hundred years. Originally constructed in 1920 by German immigrants Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jung, the property first housed the Rose City Bakery. Its name was drawn directly from The City of Roses, a familiar historic nickname for Little Rock.
Decades later in 1952, the iconic Community Bakery took over the space, operating under our same roof before eventually relocating just down the street. Today, Raduno proudly carries on this deep neighborhood tradition of food and friendship, honoring the history built right into our walls.
The Art of Gathering
In Italy, the word raduno means a gathering of people coming together for a common goal or passion. For us, that passion is neighbors like you coming together for fine food, great drinks, and good times. Since opening our doors in February of 2015, we have focused on a from-scratch kitchen where authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas, craft sandwiches, and fresh salads are made to order. Every dish is complemented by an ever-changing rotation of 20 draft beers, fine wines, and exceptional craft cocktails designed to make every meal feel like a celebration.
A SoMa Neighborhood Tradition
Whether you are stopping by for a casual weeknight dinner on our patio, celebrating a milestone event with craft cocktails at the bar, or joining us for our award-winning Saturday and Sunday brunch, Raduno welcomes you with an energetic and inviting atmosphere. We are incredibly proud to be a staple of the burgeoning downtown SoMa district, and we invite you to pull up a chair, raise a glass, and become a part of our ongoing story.
