INEO

On the dramatic semicircular sweep of Piazza della Repubblica, the entrance beneath the travertine porticoes stands adjacent to that of the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi hotel, which in effect houses the restaurant. The interiors, luxurious and bathed in soft light, captivate through their elegance and atmosphere. The cooking rises to considerable heights thanks to chef Heros De Agostinis, a genuine globetrotter who draws upon his travels and the experience accumulated in some of the most prestigious three-starred restaurants. His dishes are refined yet intense in flavour, with an intelligent use of spices and, in particular, of heat that is always calibrated with consummate skill. Special mention must be made of the bread trolley: a true spectacle, with five or six different varieties, each executed with impeccable care, a joy for both the eye and the palate. A truly remarkable gastronomic destination.
