Demetra Eco Guest House

From the ground floor, the lift leads to one of the city’s most evocative roof gardens: a terrace which, in winter, is enclosed and covered – thus usable in every season – directly overlooking the Colosseum. To your right unfolds the view of the Domus Aurea, in the distance a corner of the Altare della Patria can be glimpsed and, just beyond, the great dome of St Peter’s. The kitchen offers four tasting menus (of which one is vegetarian), with the option of also ordering individual dishes freely. Between classics of Roman tradition, Campanian influences and more contemporary creations unfolds

One arrives by ascending to the first floor of a charming period building, where both the terrace for the warmer months and a light-filled dining room housed in a winter garden are to be found. Here natural light, lush plants and the delicate floor tiles create an atmosphere that is at once refined and welcoming. From the kitchen come creative offerings with pairings that are at times surprising, yet never betray the gastronomic soul of Rome: the flavours of tradition are reinterpreted through new textures and presentations, always maintaining a full and assertive taste capable of satisfying t

On the dramatic semicircular sweep of Piazza della Repubblica, the entrance beneath the travertine porticoes stands adjacent to that of the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi hotel, which in effect houses the restaurant. The interiors, luxurious and bathed in soft light, captivate through their elegance and atmosphere. The cooking rises to considerable heights thanks to chef Heros De Agostinis, a genuine globetrotter who draws upon his travels and the experience accumulated in some of the most prestigious three-starred restaurants. His dishes are refined yet intense in flavour, with an intelligent use of

At lunchtime, enjoy informal dishes on the ground floor of this restaurant, while more creative gourmet cuisine is served by attentive and professional staff in the dining room on the first floor. Talented Roman chef Andrea Pasqualucci is at the helm in the kitchen, where he prepares creative and imaginative dishes. There are just a few typical Roman dishes on the menu here, and so the experience at Moma will appeal more to those keen on trying new ingredients and combinations.

Among the most sophisticated and daring kitchens in the capital, Orma Roma stands today as a benchmark for signature fusion cuisine. Here, exotic ingredients and culinary traditions from Latin America, Asia, and the Mediterranean – including Sardinia, homeland of the chef’s wife – interweave in surprising creations, such as the unforgettable “Fregula, sea urchin, and XOrma sauce” sampled during our last visit. The vegetable component is equally significant, supplied in part by the owned gardens just outside the city. The signature, after all, is that of Roy Caceres: Colombian by birth, Italian

Nestled atop the Eden Hotel, with its modern setting boasting glazed views over the city centre, from Quirinale to Saint Peter's, Rome emerges enchanting when seen from here. Salvatore Bianco, well-versed in his Campanian origins, presents a cuisine of high gustatory value, characterised by distinctive Mediterranean notes and intelligent seasonal spice and aroma usage. Notably, the chlorophyll buttons served with a deeply intense mussel cream or the modern rendition of Roman Sunday chicken are standout offerings. The skilful sommelier Ruggeri will assist you in wine selections with charm and p

The experience begins at the moment of reservation, when guests choose the number of courses and prepare to place themselves entirely in the hands of the chef’s creativity. Ego is a reflection of the personality of Lorenzo De Lio, a young Roman talent with an international journey that emerges clearly in his dishes. His cuisine is a voyage without borders, where Mexican influences, Southeast Asian references, and unexpected inspirations coexist, constructed to stimulate the palate with spices, contrasts, and intensity. The dining room counts just five tables – to be reserved well in advance –
