Rome Restaurant Revamped

Posted Wednesday, August 08, 2007 10:11 AM

If its prime location (right at the top of the Spanish Steps) and recent tabloid buzz (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes stayed there during their Italian destination wedding) aren't reason enough to visit The Hotel Hassler in Rome, they've recently renovated the hotel's restaurant for the first time since it opened 50 years ago. The Imàgo rooftop restaurant has a sweeping view over the city, and the cuisine aims to match the new, elegant aesthetic -- Chef Francesco Apreda varies his menu by season and always incorporates traditional Italian flavors and ingredients. Imàgo is open seven days a week for lunch from 12:30 to 2:30, and for dinner from 7:30 to 10:30. For reservations call 39 06 699 34 726, or visit HotelHasslerRoma.com for more info.
