Imàgo

Imàgo is a restaurant on the sixth floor of the Hassler hotel in Rome, focusing on Mediterranean cooking with Italian roots. The space is intimate with only twelve tables, the menu changes twice a year, and many tables offer views across the city.

The restaurant has established itself as a respected dining destination over more than a decade, led by chef Francesco Apreda's creative work in the kitchen. His inventive approach has built the place's reputation through carefully prepared dishes that blend flavors from around the world.

The restaurant reflects a blend of Italian and Mediterranean cooking that draws from the chef's travels around the world. Diners experience how traditional Italian ingredients are combined with flavors from different places, creating a fresh approach to familiar tastes.

The restaurant opens in the evening for dinner service and is best booked in advance, especially during busy seasons. It is accessed through the Hassler hotel, and the staff speaks multiple languages and happily guides guests through menu selections and wine pairings.

The chef is known for dishes that tell stories of his travels, such as his famous risotto made with cheese, pepper, and sesame. A special ten-course menu celebrates a decade of his work at the restaurant, marking important moments in his culinary journey.
