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 a generous selection of desserts, the perfect finale to a gastronomic journey that is as intriguing as it is indulgent. Equally noteworthy is the wine offering, enhanced by an extensive list and the expertise of sommelier Francesco Aldieri.
