Ryan Pernice grew up here in Roswell, where he was a stand-out student who starred in numerous musical productions. After graduating from RHS, he earned a degree from Cornell University, and went to work in New York for Union Square Hospitality Group. He brought his knowledge and passion back to his hometown, and in 2011 opened Table & Main on Canton Street. He’s gone on to open Osteria Mattone, also on Canton Street, and Coalition Food & Beverage in downtown Alpharetta. They are consistently on ‘best of’ lists, locally and around the region.
Our community has been the beneficiary of Ryan Pernice’s self-described ‘wreckless optimism’. He has led the Historic Roswell Business Association, helped found Positively Roswell to get citizens engaged, and been a leader in speaking on behalf of small business.
When the pandemic swept in, Ryan immediately revamped his business model, and started a consistent conversation with the community through social media. He not only kept restaurant operations running, but added a program to feed those in need.
Ryan was named one of 2017 Atlanta Business Chronicle’s 40 Under 40 for professional and community accomplishments. He was also named one of Roswell’s 10 Under 40 for significant career achievements and substantial involvement in our community.
