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.

The flavours are intense and convincing, with occasional foreign inflections, as in the Talo, a kind of Basque flatbread, made with white maize flour and filled with anchovies, broccoli and stracciatella: a preparation that s
