Capri in the Heart of Prati: A Taste of Capri Near the Vatican
- Apr 14
- 3 min read
There is an invisible thread connecting the sun-drenched charm of Capri to the culinary nobility of Rome. This April, this bond grows stronger: the first sunny days awaken a craving for the island's signature freshness, while Roman gardens yield the season's most precious harvests. In our restaurant in the elegant Prati neighborhood, we celebrate this encounter, offering our guests a journey from the iconic Faraglioni of Capri to the shadow of St. Peter's Dome.
The Soul of Capri: Sea and Artisanal Tradition
Our culinary vision never forsakes its roots. Freshness is our starting point, as showcased by our True Octopus Salad (Insalatina di Polpo Verace), enhanced with an Amalfi Lemon Citronette, an appetizer that instantly evokes the Mediterranean sea breeze.
The true bridge between these two traditions, however, is our handmade pasta. Our Artisanal Capri-style Ravioli, filled with local caciottina cheese and fresh marjoram, meet the natural sweetness of Nocerino tomato sauce, creating a perfect balance our loyal guests love to rediscover with every visit.
In the Heart of Rome: The Excellence of the Roman Spring
Respecting the territory means honoring the land that hosts us. That is why our menu embraces the most authentic Roman identity through the symbols of the local spring.
The narrative continues with our Artisanal Fettuccine alla Vignarola, a sincere homage to the Roman countryside awakened by the April sun. In this dish, the rustic texture of our fresh pasta welcomes the unmistakable savory crunch of guanciale (cured pork cheek), balanced by the early freshness of artichokes, fava beans, and peas, all brought together by the bold, sharp character of Pecorino Romano cheese.
Alongside this seasonal celebration is an elegant reinterpretation of a great local classic: Stuffed Artichoke with Pecorino Fondue and Black Truffle. It’s a creation that elevates Roman tradition to a higher level, designed to play on contrasts. On one side, the natural crispness of the local artichoke; on the other, the creamy embrace of the fondue, all sublimated by the earthy, noble notes of black truffle. An enveloping experience designed to satisfy and surprise even the most demanding palates.
The Tasting Menu: A Journey Without Borders
For those who wish to fully experience this culinary synergy, our Tasting Menu for private events is the perfect choice. It is a curated journey that alternates the delicacy of seafood and authentic Caprese flavors with the hearty structure of reimagined Roman classics, offering a complete and sophisticated experience.
