Anima, the signature restaurant at The Rome Edition, has unveiled its new tasting menu, 227 KM, which reflects the restaurant’s culinary identity by tracing the gastronomic dialogue between Naples and Rome.

Its focus is on ingredient quality, seasonality and small-scale producers, drawing on the coastal towns of Gaeta, Formia, Terracina and Anzio, and extending to the capital itself. The menu highlights raw, authentic ingredients and the expertise of local farmers and producers in Lazio and Campania. Suppliers are carefully selected, from Galline Felici eggs in Castelli Romani to Piennolo tomatoes from Mount Vesuvius.

The six-course menu opens with a Neapolitan-inspired appetiser and concludes with a dessert rooted in Roman tradition, Ricotta and Sour Cherries, created by Pastry Chef Giulia Zarattini and Executive Chef Antonio Gentile. Along the way, ingredients such as Terracina red prawns, Formia provolone and tender baby squid take centre stage.

Signature dishes include Like a Ragù Meatball, featuring beef tartare, Neapolitan ragù, Parmigiano and pine nuts; Baby Squid Vota-Piatto Style with Puttanesca Sauce; tortelli filled with IGP lamb Genovese and Formia provolone; and sea bass baked in parchment with its broth and potatoes.

The amuse-bouche reflects the journey, beginning with a symbolic breakfast between Naples and Rome, featuring a potato foam cappuccino, a mini sfogliatella with mozzarella and tomato, and a mini maritozzo with cacio e pepe cream.

The vegetarian tasting menu mirrors the same philosophy, with dishes such as Edition Eggplant Parmigiana, risotto with artichoke alla matticella and marinated egg yolk, and Galline Felici eggs with cardoncello mushroom.

The third option, Km of Your Choice, allows guests to create a four-course menu from the à la carte selection for a personalised experience.

“The concept of Anima continues to evolve along the Naples–Rome gastronomic axis, but with this new menu the journey becomes deeper, more intentional and more distinctive,” says Gentile. “It is not merely a geographical route, but a cultural and emotional one: a dialogue between traditions, gestures and flavours that meet, converse and enrich one another. It is a story that begins with Neapolitan memory and arrives at Roman balance and elegance, reinforcing the restaurant’s identity in a decisive and personal way.”
