INEO, the fine-dining jewel nestled within the opulent Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel, has been officially selected by the Michelin Guide in its June edition—a prestigious endorsement that celebrates Chef Heros De Agostinis’s culinary vision, technique, and emotional depth.

This recognition highlights INEO’s unique gastronomic narrative — one that speaks in the language of Italian ingredients but resonates globally. Chef De Agostinis presents cuisine that is as sophisticated as it is soulful, infusing Italian raw materials with global techniques, spices, and inspirations drawn from Eritrea to Asia and South America.

A Global Palate Rooted in Italian Soil

With over 25 years of international experience in the world’s most revered Michelin-starred kitchens, Chef Heros De Agostinis brings a rare blend of elegance and authenticity to his craft. His culinary style is best described as contemporary storytelling, where memory, travel, and tradition converge on every plate.

“Being selected by the Michelin Guide is an extraordinary emotion,” says De Agostinis. “It’s a recognition I proudly share with my brigade and front-of-house team. INEO is, above all, a collective vision. Here, we cook stories — each dish emerges from a journey, a memory, or an emotion we’re eager to share with every guest.”

Signature Dish: Memory Meets Mastery

Among the standout dishes that capture INEO’s philosophy is the Maccheroncini al ferretto, slow-cooked in a rich Madeira reduction, paired with Eritrean ragù, and topped with 24-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano. This dish not only bridges Africa and Italy but also encapsulates the personal and professional journey of its creator—a masterclass in memory, method, and multicultural expression.

An Experience Beyond the Plate

Impeccable service under Restaurant Manager Damiano Verdone
A wine cellar of over 900 labels curated by Sommelier Federico Spagnolo, featuring both rare vintages and hidden gems

Muhammara ravioli paired with lobster, cuttlefish, and aromatic herbs.

Together, they form the heart of one of Rome’s most refined fine dining destinations, where gastronomy becomes poetry.
