Italian Love: Radisson & Gambero Rosso Partner Up for Gastronomy

Building on the success of its "Taste of Heritage" Gastronomy Series, Radisson Collection is continuing its journey of connecting guests with authentic local experiences. The latest edition, "A Roman Guide for Foodies," is crafted in collaboration with Gambero Rosso, Italy’s renowned wine and food experts.

Curated Culinary Guides

With the launch of the "Taste of Heritage" gastronomy series last June, Radisson Collection has presented a series of culinary travel guides and content designed for food and travel enthusiasts. Highlighting exceptional Radisson Collection destinations worldwide, the series now features Rome, a city celebrated for its rich culinary heritage. As one of the world's premier culinary capitals, Rome boasts iconic dishes such as Cacio e Pepe and Saltimbocca alla Romana. This edition of the "Taste of Heritage" Gastronomy Series delves into the city’s culinary traditions, offering visitors a diverse array of dishes to savour. The Radisson Collection Hotel, Roma Antica, situated in the heart of Rome's historic city center, is the centerpiece of this culinary exploration. Located near the Altare della Patria, the Pantheon, Piazza Venezia, and the ancient ruins of Largo di Torre Argentina and Capitolium Hill, the hotel provides a luxurious base for guests to discover Rome.

Partnership with Gambero Rosso

Developed in collaboration with Gambero Rosso, Radisson Collection's "A Roman Guide for Foodies" is a 21-page booklet available to hotel guests. The guide offers an introduction to Roman cuisine and a directory of top recommendations, from wine bars and grocers to gelato parlours and bakeries. Highlighting 23 local venues, each with its unique charm, the guide ensures travellers have a rich culinary experience while exploring the city.

Chef Mattia Maria Rossi of the Gambero Rosso Academy has crafted two exclusive dishes for Radisson Collection Hotel, Roma Antica. These dishes will feature on the hotel’s restaurant Modius menu from September to December 2024. The Vaccinara Agnolotti is a fresh stuffed pasta with a slow-roasted oxtail filling, a modern twist on the classic Roman dish, Oxtail Vaccinara. Vignarola’s Fillet reinterprets the traditional Vignarola spring vegetable stew, featuring fresh peas, Roman mint, guanciale (cured pork cheek), and a stuffed filet of beef, slow-cooked sous vide to perfection and served with a duo of fresh mint pea sauce and Pecorino foam. Vegetarian options for both dishes are also available. 

Commenting on the partnership, Chef Mattia Maria Rossi of the Gambero Rosso Academy states, “Our collaboration with Radisson Collection is a tribute to Rome’s rich heritage. Through our city guide and special menu additions, guests can immerse themselves in the flavors and traditions of Roman cuisine. Our guide also highlights the local markets where we source ingredients, many of which have preserved traditional methods for over a century.”
