Enoteca La Torre

Vatican City, Borgo & Prati


The romantic art nouveau Villa Laetitia provides an aristocratic setting for this refined Michelin-starred restaurant. It's a solid member in good standing in Rome's fine-dining scene, and people book weeks in advance. Expect sophisticated contemporary cuisine with seasonal dishes beautifully presented. The wine list is stellar and the service sublime. Many come just to gape at the noted interior dining-room windows.
