Pike Street Hospitality Group, founded by Travis Rosenthal, is growing its Seattle footprint with two new concepts set to debut this fall.
A building at Pine and Summit offered the chance to house four distinct concepts under one roof. Earlier this year, Cantina del Sol, a Baja-style rooftop spot serving tacos and margaritas, and Double O’ Burgers, a takeout window serving smash burgers, opened their doors. Now, Uncle Dom’s Italian Kitchen and Bar Tango are preparing to fill the remaining spaces, according to the restaurant group’s website.
Uncle Dom’s is set to open on the main level, serving classic Italian dishes such as spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parmesan and lasagna.
Bar Tango will pay homage to the group’s former Capitol Hill restaurant, Tango. The new concept will revive many of the beloved spot’s classics, including the signature El Diablo dessert, while focusing on a vibrant bar and tapas menu.
What Now Seattle reached out to the team, however, they have not yet responded. This article may be updated.
Who is Travis Rosenthal?
Travis Rosenthal earned a degree in food and beverage from Cornell University’s Hotel School in 1997. After moving to Seattle the following year, he managed Il Fornaio and Piatti before setting his sights on opening a restaurant of his own, the website reads.
He applied for a loan but was denied. The bank told him his experience made him a strong candidate to purchase an existing restaurant, and he has been doing so ever since.
In 2006, he bought the well-known Tango. Six years, two children and a recession later, he opened Rumba next door. In 2019, he purchased Agua Verde Cafe, which was a homecoming because it was one of his favorite spots for margaritas and tacos when he first moved to Seattle. The next year, he opened Inside Passage, a tropical bar. In 2024, he had the opportunity to reopen HoneyHole, a longtime Seattle sandwich shop.
Now, he is adding four more concepts to his portfolio: Cantina del Sol, Double O’ Burgers, Uncle Dom’s Italian Kitchen and Bar Tango.
