Restaurant Il Pagliaccio

In the heart of Rome, Il Pagliaccio Restaurant will make you live an intimate, refined and unforgettable experience. The sensory journey begins with the dishes of Chef Anthony Genovese who with great creativity brings to the table a cuisine that embraces different flavors and aromas. “My cuisine photographs my life, my experiences, my education, my vision of the future. It is a very personal cuisine, but at the same time very focused on the customer, with whom empathy and trust are established during a tasting journey, like between two people who take a journey together”. In the dining room, Restaurant Manager Matteo Zappile and his team will tell you about each preparation and ingredient of the dishes, proposing a wine pairing journey suitable for enhancing such complex creations.

Recently, Il Pagliaccio has changed its face, starting with the elimination of table linens. The tables return to their original shape to let the materials speak and be dressed only with plates. The mise en place has also been renewed, with refined and exclusive oriental cutlery and ceramics. The environment is warm, welcoming: wood, iron, soft lights, recall, even in strong contrast, harmony of colors, styles in continuous evolution, outlining a changing personality that looks outward with curiosity and foresight.

Il Pagliaccio offers four surprise tasting itineraries. The first is the “ Circus ”, a journey from East to West that knows no borders, but bonds of emotions and flavors centered on the dish. By choosing it you will experience the creative relevance of the chef, the result of his many international experiences. Ten courses served for all participants at the table. “ Orme ” instead is feeling, warmth, a journey that traces the way home, dotted with stops that recall memories. With this menu you can taste some of the Chef’s historic dishes. Eight courses served for all guests taking part in the dinner.
