The restaurants and bars at Orient Express La Minerva offer a serene retreat in the Eternal City to embark on a gourmet voyage. The culinary team embraces southern Italian hospitality and gastronomic precision, creating dishes inspired by locally sourced ingredients, seasonal rhythms, and iconic recipes gently reimagined. From arancini to pistachio ice cream, the hotel’s signature restaurant, Gigi Rigolatto Roma, prides itself on being not an Italian restaurant, but “the restaurant of an Italian.” Whether enjoying dinner and rinks on the rooftop or in the enchanting hotel lobby, guests will discover the perfect ambiance to complement their journey.

Gigi Rigolatto Roma
Gigi Rigolatto Roma is the hotel’s signature rooftop restaurant with seasonally curated menus and panoramic views over Rome. Guests will find lunch and dinner à la carte menus offering dishes that combine Mediterranean traditions with local ingredients. The Bellini Bar at Gigi Rigolatto Roma is especially well-suited for a pre-dinner Aperol Spritz, an Italian favorite made from a refreshing mix of Aperol, prosecco, and soda water.

La Minerva Bar
Located under the glass-domed ceiling in the historic lobby; La Minerva Bar is an elegant but relaxed space for socializing and simply enjoying a meal. La Minerva Bar serves all‑day drinks and light bites and is especially well-suited for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Along with its daily menu, La Minerva Bar hosts holiday celebrations and special, limited engagements of renowned and creative restauranters.
