Here are some of the answers to most of your questions.

The Kitchen. Yes, the kitchen is open! Recently the kitchen received an "Herculean" facelift including a new ventilation system, new sinks & plumbing, new gas lines, a new floor and all new cooking equipment. If you were in love with any of that old gear that didn't work ... well, sometimes that's how love goes.

The Menu. Our eyes are on delicious whole foods, homemade house soups & salads, and quality service in an atmosphere unlike any other eatery. The Rongo has always been about a whole world culture - far before that idea was the trend. We're bringing that same approach to the selections coming from the kitchen. Expect the influence of Central America, Asia, India and the Middle East ... but for right now, it's mostly Mexican Click here to check out our menu


Brunch. Yes, Sunday morning brunch will be COMING SOON to the Rongo. You want it, we want it ... let's have it!

The Building. Yes, the owners of the Rongo own the rest of the building as well. The same attitude of renewal continues upstairs in the apartments. Safety issues and aesthetic character have been our primary focus so far. A building-wide fire detection system has been installed, rooms have been rebuilt and pride is being restored to this lovely local landmark.

The Owners. Tom & Cheryl Covell are Tompkins County natives, Trumansburg & Danby respectively. We have 3 beautiful little gurlz who do, or will, attend Trumansburg Central Schools. Tom's efforts focus on the embassy building, while Cheryl's attention is directed toward her career in educational based data analyses.
