Nine years ago, on the night of Notte Bianca, we opened Rootz. With few italian w**es, three piadine, one platter… and two smiles. ❤️
Yesterday, it’s was Notte Bianca again. And we’re celebrating nine years of encounters, shared tables, friendships and people who came in for a drink and became part of our lives.
Thank you to everyone who has chosen us, whether once or time and time again. To those who bring their friends, keep us in their thoughts and feel at home here. And thank you to our team, who put their hearts, hard work and care into this place every day: this birthday belongs to you too.

To celebrate, we’re sharing a special gift: “Before I Decided Whether I Was Capable”, a personal essay that Matteo, founder of Rootz and Rumi, has published on his profile Mr. Vacuitas.

It tells the story of the journey that brought him here, the roots we’ve grown together and the love that brought our places to life. A way of opening our door a little wider and sharing what lies behind our
Happy birthday, Rootz, Matteo, Mattia, Federica, Bea&Nicole!
And thank you to everyone who keeps our roots alive. 🌱

Some numbers make you stop.
Others make you remember.
10 million views made us do both.

Because when we look back at Rootz, we don’t really see a number. We see years of evenings, conversations, music, dinners, friendships, mistakes, discoveries, changes, people arriving as strangers and somehow becoming part of the place.
And we see how much we have grown with you.
Over the years, Rootz has changed without losing its soul. We have listened, experimented, learned and slowly widened what we offer: more vegetarian and vegan dishes, more alcohol-free choices, more fresh and healthy options, more ways for different people to sit at the same table and feel that there is something here for them.

That growth matters to us.

Not because we ever wanted Rootz to become bigger for the sake of being bigger, but because we wanted it to become richer, more open, more conscious, more alive.
A place where a beautiful bottle of Italian w**e can share the table with an alcohol-free cocktail.
Where street food can sit next to something fresh and nourishing.
Where vegans, vegetarians, w**e lovers, music lovers, travellers, locals, old friends and new faces can somehow all belong to the same strange little ecosystem.

And through all these years, one thing has remained at the centre of everything:

people.

The people who make this place go on everyday.
The people who play here.
The people who eat, drink, laugh, celebrate, talk, meet, return.
The people who recommended us to someone else.
The people who left us a kind word.
The people who chose Rootz for one night of their life, or for hundreds of them.

So today, more than celebrating 10 million views, we want to celebrate you.

Thank you for trusting us.
Thank you for allowing us to evolve.
Thank you for growing with us.
Thank you for giving this tiny place on Strait Street a life far bigger than its walls.

We are still learning.
Still changing.
Still dreaming up what Rootz can become.

But after all these years, we know one thing for sure:

Rootz was never just a place.
It has always been the people inside it. ❤️🌱

From all of us, truly:

thank you.❤️

AUGURIIIIIIIIII❤️MATTIAAAAA❤️ Un Margarita prende forma un gesto alla volta, con cura e carattere.
Un po’ come quello che Mattia porta ogni giorno dentro Rootz.
Qui il Margarita lo prepara lui, ma il brindisi è tutto per lui.

Ti vogliamo tanto bene, Mattia. ❤️
A moltissime altre notti, cocktails viaggi e sogni da costruire insieme. 🍸 HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAY ❤️ MATTIAAAAA ❤️
A Margarita comes together one gesture at a time, with care and character.
Just like everything Mattia brings to Rootz every day.
Here, he’s the one making the Margarita — but this toast is for him and him alone.
Happy Birthday to our Friend, Partner, Bartender and Bar Manager, one of the true Souls of Rootz.
We love you so much, Mattia. ❤️
Here’s to many, many more nights, cocktails, journeys and dreams to build together. 🍸
