Just steps from Piazza del Popolo, the elegant First Roma welcomes guests with courteous, impeccable hospitality before leading them into a dining room of understated design, in keeping with contemporary taste, yet with tables still set with style and attentive service described as “dynamic” by its own team. At center stage is the cuisine of Daniele Lippi, who interprets the Mediterranean in its broadest sense, reaching well beyond national borders. Two tasting menus are offered: Periplo, dedicated to the aquatic world, and Anabasi Catabasi, which incorporates meat as well. Both conclude with

Contemporary, Classic Cuisine · ★ Michelin

A restaurant of solid tradition, born in the early 1990s from the vision of three brothers from the Marche region – Angelo, Giuseppe, and Massimo: the first at the stoves, the others in the dining room.

These menus can be adapted in length and are structured by seasonal rhythms and a constant dialog with Italy’s gastronomic roots. Iconic dishes are available to complement the experi
