Among the new openings last autumn in Rome, one notable addition was the arrival of the first Café Ginori in the city. Following its recent opening in Florence, Rome now boasts a location where guests can eat and drink from Italy's most famous porcelain sets. It is important to note that the Ginori 1735 in Rome was established in partnership with the Rocco Forte Hotels group and is located within the De La Ville hotel, one of the group's hospitality properties. The Café Ginori officially opened its doors on December 8th, taking over the location of the former Da Sistina restaurant on the ground floor of Via Sistina. The menu has been carefully crafted by Fulvio Pierangelini, the Creative Director of Food for Rocco Forte Hotels, who oversees the brand's restaurant offerings.
This new café showcases both new dishes created specifically for this opening, and classic recipes from one of Italy’s most celebrated chefs. It is intentionally designed to respect Rocco Forte's culinary identity while merging it with that of Ginori 1735. The Café Ginori will operate daily, offering an all-day service from 10:30 AM to 10:30 PM. Diners can expect a diverse selection, including special lunch and dinner proposals featuring seasonal ingredients. Some exclusive dishes by Chef Fulvio Pierangelini for Café Ginori in Rome will include scampi with caramelized Sciacca mango, artichokes with Asetra caviar, cacio e pepe with lobster, and crispy chicken Caesar salad topped with seasonal truffles.
In partnership with Ginori 1735, Italy’s foremost porcelain and lifestyle brand, Café Ginori is ‘the’ place to meet, play, dine, shop, and be inspired. Café Ginori will also feature a boutique, one of the largest of its kind in Rome, where guests can purchase various pieces from the Ginori collections. The ambiance will extend beyond the dining experience, as the café’s decor will include fabrics and furnishings from the Domus line dedicated to home decor, featuring Oriente Italiano wallpaper and embroidered fabrics used on cushions, upholstery, and chairs.
