A curated pre-set multi course menu, featuring some of Rome's timeless specialties, from Carciofi alla Giuda to Torta del Ghetto (with ricotta and wild cherries), will be offered. Throughout the night, our special guests will guide you thought each dish, sharing history, cultural roots and traditions behind this unique fusion of Roman and Jewish flavors.
