Michelin Star, The Best Restaurants In Rome

Imàgo,one of most renowned Michelin star restaurants in Rome, is considered the first panoramic restaurant in Rome. Fifty years ago, in the Autumn of 1956, Oscar Wirth, then-Owner and General Manager of the Hassler Roma, father of current Owner and General Manager Roberto E. Wirth, had the Hassler's 6th floor panoramic terrace covered to transform it into what would become known throughout the world as Rome's celebrated first panoramic restaurant, the Roof. It was the first restaurant built on the last floor of a hotel. On December 2006, after a complete restyling, the Hassler Roma inaugurated the restaurant for the second time, with a new name, Imàgo, which derives from the Latin image, vision and thought.

The Hassler Roma has a Michelin starred restaurant, Imàgo, which means image, dream, vision… Imàgo encompasses in one word the philosophy of the Hassler Roma’s gourmet restaurant: a place where vision and taste intertwine to offer a unique culinary experience. Imàgo is open from 7.00 pm to 10.30 pm, everyday, plus it can be exclusively reserved at breakfast or lunch time for private events.

Imàgo is on the 6th floor of the Hassler Roma, with a unique view over the Eternal City. This is why it is considered one of the most romantic restaurants in Rome. Starting from left to right: the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, San Giovanni in Laterano, the Quirinale, Villa Colonna and the church of Sant’Andrea delle Fratte, the Campidoglio (Capitol Hill) and monument to Victor Emmanuel II, Palazzo Venezia, the Aventino hill, the Pantheon, the church of Sant’Agnese in Piazza Navona, Castel Sant’Angelo, the obelisk and Trinità dei Monti Church which one can almost reach out and touch, Villa Medici and the Borghese gardens.

Imàgo is a full experience of fine dining in Rome. The background music and the stunning view are complemented by the taste, texture, and aroma of Executive Chef Andrea Antonini’s dishes, which are carefully prepared and presented. The variety of what he presents is thought for each type of palate and characterized by the ingredients and fragrances embedded within Italy’s rich history and culture.

Imàgo, the Hassler Roma's panoramic restaurant, satisfies the needs of an increasingly discerning and exclusive clientele by presenting creatively-thought traditional and refined flavors against the backdrop of Eternal City, viewed as never before from its incredible position. It is a place where sight and taste are welded to seal a unique dining experience.

Imàgo, with its location and gourmet selection of food and wine, offers a one-of-a-kind experience. Chef Andrea Antonini’s reinterpretation of Italian cuisine represents an explosion of flavors that include the most refined combinations as well as traditional Italian cuisine. Then soft music, elegant and refined decor, and the romantic play of light reflecting on the mirrors, all conspires to create a magical atmosphere, a sense of being in another time and space in a restaurant steeped in memorable history.
