"The location of this rooftop restaurant could hardly be more glamorous. Head up the most famous flight of steps in the world to the Hassler hotel, where you take a lift up to one of the Italian capital’s most celebrated restaurants. Here, you dine surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that offer superb views of Rome, from the twin bell towers of Trinità dei Monti church to a whole host of the city’s iconic monuments – see how many you can recognise! In the meantime, chef Andrea Antonini prepares two tasting menus that showcase his classic dishes alongside more recent creations. His cuisine is often based on recognised recipes and ingredients, while also exploring new ideas, unusual combinations and amusing reinterpretations." - Michelin Inspector

Inspector's Take: Rome's One Michelin Star Imàgo

"Reached via the Spanish Steps and an elevator to a terrace with a breathtaking panorama, this rooftop dining room glows behind glass walls that frame a view with few equals: to the right, the belltowers of Trinità dei Monti are a stunning sight seen so close at hand, and to the left a sweep of Rome’s most emblematic monuments appears, making it feel as though I’m circling over the rooftops like a seagull. On my first visit here with this chef at the helm, I chose the second option on the tasting menu; with everything already decided, ordering was swift, I left the wine to the sommelier’s recommendations, and then immersed myself in the gastronomic spectacle that followed. Walking back down to Piazza di Spagna afterward felt like returning to earth after a stairway to heaven." - The MICHELIN Guide
