La Pergola – Rome, Italy

Rome, city of history, love, empire and dramas. A city where gastronomy is a highlight and dolce vita an assumed way-of-live. Restaurants challenge each others to charm their guests with a hurricane of fresh and tasty flavours. And if we tell you that a certain Heinz Beck, German founder of the Orders of the Knights of Italian Cuisine, runs the 3-stars restaurant La Pergola, you will just want to rush there! The menu is mouthwatering, between its honey herb-sparkled pigeon or its tartare of amberjack. The sommelier Marc Reitano has designed two wine menus capable of satisfying the most demanding taste buds, flying easily from a Château Lafite to a Gaja Barbaresco. A intense culinary experience that can only embellish your stay in Rome. Menu.

And since fortune favours you, know that La Pergola is in the Rome Cavalieri, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel *****, one of the finest resort of our collection. On top of the Monte Mario, it overlooks the Eternal City from its verdant, away-from-the-hustle location. Children will love the place and the IT Club, a Kids-club that boasts many activities. Of course, making pizzas is one of the highlight so they can cook for you back home. Many scavengers hunts take place in the city, which will allow them to discover Rome and its treasures. For the parents, beside breathtaking sightseeing, the awesome Cavalieri Grand Spa Club invites for exceptionnal treatments to relax after a full visit day and before enjoying the Chef’s culinary creations.

 

 

La Grande Table Marocaine – Marrakech, Morocco
