A table above Rome. Cocktails beside its history.

AROMA · ONE MICHELIN STAR

Italian cooking, with the Colosseum before you

On Palazzo Manfredi’s top floor, AROMA brings contemporary Italian cuisine to a terrace facing the Colosseum. Executive Chef Giuseppe Di Iorio leads a kitchen grounded in regional ingredients and the traditions of the Italian table. His approach begins with the character of each ingredient, then develops familiar flavours through precise technique and a personal point of view.

Di Iorio has led AROMA since 2010; the restaurant received its first Michelin star in 2014. The experience brings together the kitchen, pastry team and dining room, with careful attention to the presentation of each course and the rhythm of the meal. It is a setting for an evening together, a significant date or a culinary highlight during your stay.

TASTING MENUS & WINE

A conversation between flavour and place

AROMA’s tasting menus reflect the chef’s interest in local producers and the relationship between Italian tradition and new ideas. The wine cellar spans Italian and international producers, with more than 600 labels and a particular interest in champagne. Ask the dining team for guidance on pairings and tell them about dietary requirements before your visit. Consult the current menu when planning your reservation, as dishes and arrangements can change.

THE COURT

An evening in the courtyard

Between Palazzo Manfredi and the building housing its Grand View Suites, The Court opens onto views of the Colosseum and the remains of Ludus Magnus. The bar and lounge seating give this sheltered courtyard its own atmosphere, from the first evening light to the illuminated monument after dark.

Bar manager Matteo Zed and his team bring an international outlook to the cocktail list, drawing on his experience in Japan and the United States and his interest in Italian amaro. Come before dinner or make the bar your destination for the evening. Reservations are required; The Court is adults-only, with no admission for minors, and asks guests to dress smart casually. Ask the reservations team for the current tasting experience, minimum spend and reservation terms before confirming.
