Chef Anthony Genovese has held court here for two decades, fusing Mediterranean technique with Japanese and pan-Asian ideas across blind tasting menus, gyoza of Piedmontese finanziera, broths drawn from Roman oxtail. A 1,300-plus-label cellar and one of Rome's most poised dining rooms. A true destination table.
