  Le Roof di Via Domenico Chelini offre un raffinato menu che punta sulla freschezza e qualità delle materie prime studiato dallo chef Gaetano Costa.Si inizia con sfiziosi antipasti, come il polpo arrostito al finocchietto, bietoline rosse e spuma al luppolo o capesante al guanciale, chutney di melanzane al cardamomo e coulis di peperoni rossi.I primi piatti vedono un gustoso risotto all’arancia con scampetti marinati alle erbette e salicornia, per 2 persone, cavatelli acqua e farina con ragù leggero di agnello e lampascioni o un grande classico, versione gourmet, tonnarelli al cacio, pepe e cicoria.Tra i secondi, c’è un’ampia scelta tra pesce e carne: dal filetto di rombo scottato al timo e pepe rosa con patate agli agrumi al galletto scottato al sesamo con tortino di patate dolci al guanciale e salsa allo shiraz.Un cavallo di battaglia dello Chef è l’uovo Gaetano Costa.Dulcis in fundo, per i palati più curiosi, il cremoso al cioccolato con polvere di capperi e sciroppo al tabasco.

  The view of the Piazza Euclide from the seventh floor of the Grand Hotel Ritz in Rome is the perfect backdrop for the restaurant Gaetano Costa. Specializing in innovative Italian cuisine, the restaurant offers unique gourmet meals in an elegant setting that’s relaxed and original. While touring the historic square of Parioli, I could enjoy a lunch in such a beautiful location. I was immediately excited by the stunning restaurant design, which featured lots of natural light coming through the floor to ceiling windows, draped with white linens. With plenty of seating at modern black square tables, as well as the outdoor terrace, the restaurant carries the design through cubical shelving and bright green accents.My server was excellent and recommended I start with the famous Gaetano Costa egg – a poached egg, served on a bed of leafy green spinach and topped with black truffles and black truffle sauce. There’s a fine line to getting an egg perfectly poached, and the care put into this dish was obvious. My other starter was a smoked salmon tartare with pasteurized egg yolk, rosemary croutons and low-fat yoghourt sauce. Creamy and delicious with a subtle smoky flavor coming through. My main was an artfully plated palate pleaser, consisting of crispy lobster with chopped eggplant and basil. Served with a coral scallops sauce, this dish was an excellent blend of Italian flavors and fresh seafood. I mixed it with paccheri pasta with saffron and mussels for a little extra dose of the sea. The pasta was cooked al dente, exactly as I like it. For dessert, I opted for something light and refreshing: Ricotta cream with coffee crumbles, berries and honey. Just the right amount of sweetness from the honey and berries. My entire experience at Gaetano Costa was remarkable, and I highly recommend it for its great food, personal service, and breathtaking views.

  What a perfect evening. The elegant setting of Le Roof, located on the 7th floor of the Grand Hotel Ritz, is just a short, pleasant 15-minute walk from the Parco della Musica, so it’s an excellent post-concert choice for a beautiful dinner. For a change of pace, rather than wine, we drank Aperol Spritzes and Campari and Soda, very refreshing on a rather warm late May evening. After amuse-bouches of four assorted tapas, for an appetizer J ordered scallops with eggplant flowers;
