Some restaurants date from centuries ago and many of them still maintain that beauty that was lost throughout the years. Antica Pesa is one of them and in the 17th century it was a place that served food to the peasants that cultivated their plantations in the Vatican offices.
Now, Antica Pesa is one of the best restaurants in Rome and the bowling green that it had in the past is now a garden where its clients, from the high society which goes from politicians to famous film and TV stars, can be seen having lunch or dinner in the summer.
Not only Italian stars go to the place but stars from all over the world and it´s not far fetched to see a Hollywood actor there. Actually, many artists from the 19th and 20th century went to Antica Pesa and they liked it so much that they donated works that can be seen in its galleries.
The menu has a combination of traditional Italian food and innovative food. All from the hand of the chef Simon Panella. The dishes that are on offer change depending on the time of the year and also the wines on the list are among the best in the world.
You can rent apartments in Rome and enjoy Antica Pesa.
