The historic Restaurant - Hostaria dell’Orso

Rome give hospitality to Gualtiero Marchesi, the Italian modern cuisine father. Gualtiero Marchesi disembarked on the banks of the Tevere river in a Fifteenth century palace born like tavern and then transformed in hotel for pilgrims.

The Hostaria registered eminent guests like Rabelais and Montaigne, followed during the years of Dolce Vita by the couple Onassis-Callas and Hollywood stars like Clark Gable.

Today ancient frescoes, coffer ceilings and fireplaces coexist with orange skin Frau seats, piano bar and discotheque. The loggia with view and, in summer, the small court faced on the road are crossed by the solemnly irreproachable service captained by the Maitre Luciano Zanazzo.

With pride he carries on the table and discovers to blows of silver cloches the Gualtiero Marchesi’s creations performed by a staff leaded by Sous chef Antonio Panzironi. So the Hostaria dell'Orso may be a roman opportunity to know the origins of gastronomic conception of one of the protagonists of modern cuisine, still very active to 77 years old. In Rome Gualtiero Marchesi, with alternate gastronomic lucks, gives an echo of its talent with classic specialties like Seared scallops salad with ginger and pink pepper, Risotto gold leaf and saffron and Rossini Veal fillet.

Near to Roman traditional cuisine tributes (home-made basil and potatoes Gnocchi pasta, egg-plants mousse, tomatoes and smoked cheese or Roast spring chicken, stewed green and yellow peppers) there are two less expensive menu: Vegetarian menu (Green lettuce cold soup, Mix vegetables tempura, sweet and sour sauce) and Fish menu (Paccheri pasta with carpet-shells, broccoli, dried tuna roe and lemon, Roast grouper with lavender, wild salad and balsamic vinegar).

The wine cellar let to know Gualtiero Marchesi’s birth region (Lombardia, in North Italy) wine production and a selection of bottles whose price does not arrive at 30 euros is supported to an interesting possibility of tasting to the glass.
