Lunchtime at Marzapane
Open Tuesday – Sunday 12.30 – 16 | Reserve a Table
You work hard, treat yourself.
The moment you walk into Marzapane – now in its new home at via Flaminia 64 – you know you’re in the right place. The open kitchen where chefs Francesco and Guglielmo reign, the aromas and sounds of the wood fire grill in the kitchen, the bustle of the regulars at the counter or the business and leisure suits sitting in the dining room on the first floor. Lunch time isn’t new for Marzapane, but with restaurants closed at dinner, lunch is the new best time to enjoy yourself there.
Everyday the menu changes and features seasonal produce, game and meat from sustainable farms – like the acclaimed wild duck that’s a signature and constant source of inspiration for the Marzapane kitchen – paired with Italian natural wines curated by the resident sommelier, Tommaso Viggiani, and served with a smile by token French team member, Constance. It’s an elevated familial experience, the kind of place where you can go to relax just as easy as host a business power lunch.
Back to the Origins of Cooking
The centerpiece of the open kitchen at the new Marzapane in Flaminio is without a doubt the new wood fire grill. A custom grill design, hand made for Marzapane by skilled Italian artisans in Sicily, the appeal to cooking over an open flame came from the team’s pop-up in Sicily last summer. Now the cooking technique has reconnected the chefs – both classically trained in sophisticated cooking techniques – with the most rudimentary methods for preparing food.
