La Terrazza

Located on the top floor of the Hotel Eden Dorchester Collection in Rome, a structure of rare beauty and elegance just steps from Via Veneto and Trinità dei Monti, La Terrazza restaurant offers an enchanting view of the Eternal City and conquers with the gourmet proposal signed by Chef Fabio Ciervo. Hotel Eden boasts a rich history and tradition: for almost 130 years it has continued to surprise, attracting with an impeccable Italian welcome both sophisticated international travellers and the elegant local Roman clientele. Likewise, since 2013, La Terrazza restaurant has become one of the capital’s reference points for great starred restaurants.

Fabio Ciervo began working at La Terrazza dell’Hotel Eden in 2003 and, at the age of 32, earned his first Michelin star. His philosophy is based on a perfect harmony between innovation, well-being, ingredients, taste and art, to create a total harmony between an excellent gastronomic experience and a healthy lifestyle. Originally from Campania, Fabio, passionate about physical activity, grew up with the idea that using good raw materials in the kitchen is essential for the quality of life. When he entered hotel school he already knew what his path would be and after his studies he moved abroad, immediately finding work in some of the most prestigious kitchens. Firmly rooted in his Italian origins – and in particular Campania, from Sannio Beneventano -, and respectful of the ingredients that he scrupulously seeks, the Chef offers well-constructed dishes in his menus that, according to the season, make the most of the products, without any waste.

Don’t miss its ” classics “, those iconic dishes that the most loyal customers will never stop asking for: the  Spaghetti cacio e pepe from Madagascar  scented with rosebuds, the Assoluto di calamari  – a calamari broth that contains ravioli prepared with the calamari itself finely sliced, roasted and stuffed with onion and pepper, then finished with a squid snow – or the  Ravioli stuffed with boiled meat broth . But to discover the true philosophy behind Ciervo’s cuisine, there is no other way than to choose the “Armonia” tasting menu, 8 courses that can be paired with wines chosen by the Sommelier. It starts with  scallops, mango and passion fruit , the  octopus and celery  and the  creamy goose liver and grapes. The Gran riserva risotto with Bronte pistachio and licorice is amazing. To finish  Eel with Herbs  and  Beef Stew with caramelized cauliflower and white onion . The desserts are born from the hands of Ezio Redolfi and it is impossible to give up the  Pear, walnut and Timut pepper  accompanied by Moscadello di Montalcino Vendemmia Tardiva or the  Tiramisu  that plays with textures and consistencies between coffee, Baileys and milk chocolate.

To savour balanced dishes, but with bold and lively flavours, you must go to the Terrazza dell’Eden. A secret? If you are feeling particularly curious, book an exclusive seat at the  Chef’s Table , where you can eat while admiring the Chef at work.
