Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Resort

The autumn menu of the Uliveto restaurant

On Monday 28 October the autumn menu signed by Executive Chef Fabio Boschero for the Uliveto restaurant will officially enter into force.

Don’t miss the desserts of Dario Nuti, first of all the “Sweet saffron and almond risotto with prickly pear sorbet”: born from the gustatory suggestions of his childhood, the traditional sweet rice of poor Italian cuisine is combined with typically Sicilian ingredients.

Five O’clock Tea and Cocktails at Tiepolo Bar

The cold season invites afternoons and evenings spent lingering with a good cocktail or an invigorating five o’clock tea (in the picture). Pastry Chef Dario Nuti has designed a specific tea for the Tiepolo Bar: next to a superlative selection of the best infusions we find a parade of biscuits, sweets and snacks. For the winter aperitifs the Rome Cavalieri Mixologist Angelo Severini suggests the CH-estnut, based on Vodka Gray Goose Poire with white cocoa cream served with chestnut whipped cream; alcohol at the right point and invigorating in the winter cold.

“Forest Bathing” of Cavalieri Grand Spa Club

Inspired by the Japanese practice (shinrin-yoku) of diving in the woods, the Forest Bathing teaches how to benefit from apparently simple activities, like a walk in the woods, breathing the essences of trees and plants, time to time invigorating or relaxing. The position of Rome Cavalieri and its Spa allow the realization of a complete and articulated Forest Therapy program. The hotel is immersed in a Mediterranean park and borders one of the most authentic and vast natural parks in the city: the Monte Mario nature reserve, which for its environmental characteristics is a true mosaic of biological diversity now rare in a city. At the Cavalieri Grand Spa Club it is therefore possible to enjoy a real immersion in the woods followed by an effective wellness treatment. After the walk in the hotel park, you return to the Spa and relax with a hydromassage, eliminate toxins with a sauna or a Turkish bath and then rely on the skilled hands of the Forest Bathing Treatment therapists.

130 Years of Eden Experiences

Hotel Eden, 5-star luxury hotel of the Dorchester Collection, is celebrating an important anniversary: ​​130 years have passed since the hotel opened its doors in 1889. To celebrate it and share it with its guests, Hotel Eden has created a series of initiatives available until the end of the year, a cocktail, a dish and a Spa ritual created ad hoc.

Royal Eden

Silvio Favot, historic ex bar manager of the Hotel Eden, created a new recipe for Constantine II of Greece many years ago and the drink immediately became the favorite of the queen mother Federica. For a long time the ingredients remained secret, but today Il Giardino Bar offers this celebratory cocktail with the original recipe based on: vodka, dry vermouth, Campari, tonic water and drops of orange bitter.

Octopus and Celery

It is a dish that belongs to the tradition of Hotel Eden. The Executive Chef Fabio Ciervo has found the recipe in the historic menus of the hotel, and today he interprets the dish in a contemporary version at the starred restaurant La Terrazza.

The Garden of Eden

In 1889, the year when the Hotel was opened, the Italian writer Gabriele D’Annunzio, who stayed at the hotel, published “Il Piacere”, dedicated to the pleasure of the senses. To celebrate this masterpiece, The Eden Spa has created a ritual in collaboration with Mei: a 130-minute sensory journey with fig fragrance and rose and jasmine essential oils, for a sinuous body and radiant facial skin.

Daniele Lippi is the new Executive Chef of Acquolina. Born in 1990, Lippi grew up at the Troiani brothers’ school – working for nine years at the Convivio Troiani (1 Michelin Star), where he was Head Chef of the last three – but he perfected his style with various “incursions” at the top of the international starry scene: from Yannick Alléno, to Pavillion Ledoyen of Paris, to Enrico Crippa, Piazza Duomo of Alba, to Grant Achat, at Alinea Restaurant in Chicago, and again in Spain with Paolo Casagrande at Martin Bersategui’s Lasarte.
