DINING:
The Ultimate Taste Experience At "Le Jardin Du Russie" Restaurant
Nazzareno Graziano Menghini Executive Chef de Cuisine
The Hotel de Russie has been restored to its former splendour following a full refurbishment
of its interiors, its beautiful terraced garden (the famous "Giardino Segreto"
leading to the Pincio) and its elegant Neo-classic facade.
The Hotel has come back to life, with the same name which made it a legendary hotel for
almost two centuries. During this time it has been linked with the history of Rome and the
aristocratic travellers - visiting the city. Members of European and Russian Royal families and
other famous international figures contributed to its fame and notoriety. Sumptuous parties
were organised in the surroundings of the "Giardino Segreto" by the Roman aristocracy
of the day.
The charming setting of the "Giardino Segreto" is today the domain of Nazzareno
Graziano Menghini, Executive Chef of the Hotel Restaurant Le Jardin du Russie.
The Restaurant offers a classic Italian gastronomic experience. Nazzareno's dishes are
colourful and fragrant, inspired by the ingredients and the aromatic smells of the
Mediterranean. His cooking is finely balanced, always using fresh Italian seasonal produce. In
particular many of his dishes include fish. His style, at times surprisingly simple, never
looses sight of the primary ingredient being used but always offering interesting
interpretations of well known dishes.
During the summer months Le Jardin du Russie welcomes its dining guests with tables
prepared in the garden and on the Terrazza Diaghilev for private exclusive dining by
candlelight. The sophisticated Sala Torlonia is also available all year round for elegant
private functions.
The "Giardino Segreto", a verdant haven of tranquillity, has been restored to its
fame as a fashionable meeting venue where Nazzareno's specialities are also served as
inviting Roman snacks to accompany drinks at the Stravinskji Bar or during exclusive Cocktail
parties.
Stravinskij Bar
The Stravinskij Bar has an extensive selection of refreshments and Roman delicacies if you
would prefer something lighter.
For lunch we offer a delicious buffet whereby you can eat in the sunshine; in the afternoon
traditional tea is served or for the evening, why not savour one of our extensive Martini
cocktails like the 'De Russie Martini' served with caviar, whilst enjoying our live
music in the Russie gardens.
