the first panoramic restaurant ever built in Rome. Occupying one of the highest spots in the
city center, this intimate restaurant with a soft-toned Venetian decor puts all of Rome at
one's feet. Guests enjoy discovering each and every sight, possibly most of the majestic
Piazza di Spagna with its world-famous Spanish Steps. To the left one
can see the monument to Vittorio Emanuele, dedicated to the unknown soldier, and known as
"the wedding cake monument" for its shape. The twin domes of the Trinità dei Monti
Church dominate the view, other domes of various Roman Renaissance churches lead one's eyes
to St. Peter's Dome on the horizon. Its magnificent silhouettes lit by the first
morning-sun rays, which sets behind it at sundown. Farther to the left, the typical white
Pantheon dome and the Sant'Agnese Church by Borromini on the famed Piazza Navona are
landmarks to be noted - as well as many Roman "palazzos". The menu at the Rooftop
Restaurant adds even more fascination to lunch, dinner or to the Sunday brunch, at this
panoramic site. Our renowned Chef Fernando Pislor adds a special touch to the traditional
Italian cuisine, strengthening the Mediterranean flavor. He makes extensive use of the daily
fresh products that the Roman markets offer. For banquets and other special events,
personalised menus are prepared according to the wishes of the client. The Hassler has joined
