La Pergola
Italy
La Pergola combines Heinz Beck’s Italian and Mediterranean cooking with a rooftop view across Rome from the Cavalieri hotel. Its redesigned dining room provides a formal setting for seasonal tasting and à la carte menus, where carefully sourced ingredients and precise technique lead the experience. The detail extends well beyond the plate. A cellar holding more than 70,000 bottles supports the wine service, while the restaurant gives unusual attention to mineral waters, Italian olive oils and balsamic vinegar. Art within the dining room and the city panorama add to the sense of occasion. This is a destination for a considered evening meal, with the kitchen and the view given equal room to unfold.
