Why we recommend it

La Pergola occupies the top floor of the Rome Cavalieri on Monte Mario, looking back across the city towards St Peter's. Chef Heinz Beck has led the kitchen for decades, and the restaurant describes itself as historically the first, and still the only, three-Michelin-star restaurant in Rome. The cooking blends Italian and Mediterranean tradition with a precise, modern approach, offered as a gourmet tasting menu or à la carte, both changing with the seasons.

This is a special-occasion dinner, so expect formal service and a lengthy meal. Reserve well in advance through the online booking system or by phone, and ask for a window table when you book. The hotel is outside the centre, so allow time for a taxi up the hill.
