Dom Epoque Hotel Roma, located in the iconic Via Giulia, announces the launch of its brand-new seasonal menu at their signature restaurant – Verve – with a refined culinary offering curated and creatively presented by Chef Adriano Magnoli and Pastry Chef Antonella Mascolo. Rooted in the Italian tradition of fire-cooked meals and reimagined with a modern touch, the reworked menu celebrates local ingredients, refined techniques, and the convivial essence of Roman dining. The menu also caters to diverse dietary preferences, with options available for vegetarian guests and those with specific allergens.
A Philosophy of Care and Culinary Individualism
Created with creativity, seasonality, and the evocative charm of open-fire cooking, the new menu invites guests on a journey that incorporates rustic warmth with contemporary elegance, honouring tradition while introducing unexpected textures and flavours.
At the heart of Verve’s culinary distinction are Chef Adriano Magnoli and Pastry Chef Antonella Mascolo, whose combined experience spans over 15 years in Michelin-starred kitchens. Chef Magnoli brings an innovative touch perfected by his time in the lively dining scenes of Miami and London, while Chef Mascolo draws on her refined pastry expertise sharpened in renowned Roman establishments. Their deep-rooted passion for celebrating local ingredients and their passion for travel transform each dish into a thoughtful expression of place and memory. By exploring different cultures, they’ve reinterpreted tradition through a contemporary lens, presenting innovative Roman dishes inspired by the flavours, stories, and encounters gathered throughout their travels. Together, they present Verve’s menu with creativity and heart, reflecting inspirations drawn from their life and complemented by ceramic dishware from Tuscany and Rome’s Garbatella district, a tribute to their personal stories.
