In the beating heart of Rome, at 41 Via di Parione, Ristorante Virginiae looks out onto the historic streets leading to Piazza Navona and the Bramante Cloister.
The restaurant is surrounded by an atmosphere that tells the story of Rome in every nuance: the streets of Parione and the nearby alleyways steeped in history, ancient stone that speaks of centuries of city life, and, of course, dishes that bring the true Roman tradition to the table.
Being in the heart of Rome means combining art, leisurely walks, and gastronomy into a single experience.
If you’re looking for a traditional Roman restaurant in central Rome, this is a place where food takes center stage, but atmosphere matters just as much as the cuisine.
A story of family and passion
Our restaurant in Rome was born from the passion of Virginia, a Roman cook who turned her trattoria into a small point of reference for those seeking authentic dishes.
Since Christmas 2015, Bernardo and Daniel De Luca have carried on this legacy, transforming the restaurant into a welcoming place where tradition meets a modern sense of care.
Here, meals are meant to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace: you savor Rome itself, breathing in the city’s aromas alongside those of the kitchen.
Carbonara, Amatriciana, Cacio e Pepe, and all the classic Roman dishes are prepared with the same care and respect reserved for a guest at home, enhanced by the skilled touch of contemporary flavors.
A corner of Rome to experience
Stepping into Virginiae means entering a warm, welcoming space where every detail speaks of Rome.
The mezzanine offers a different perspective, ideal for a more intimate dinner or a small group, while the main dining room is bright and airy, with tables arranged to create a sense of space and comfort.
Here, every dinner becomes a moment of relaxation, whether for curious visitors or for Romans looking to rediscover the authentic flavors of tradition, reinterpreted with thoughtful, modern touches.
And with the arrival of the warmer months, the outdoor tables become the perfect place to enjoy Rome, between a sip of wine and a taste of fresh pasta.
Seated here, you can watch the city flow by: tourists pausing near Piazza Navona and glimpses of the Bramante Cloister, a small slice of history that makes every meal feel special.
