VIVENDO:

Restaurant Vivendo

Work on restyling of the new restaurant started after the completion of the meticulous restoration of the entire hotel, to give great importance and great emphasis to “Vivendo”, a new address and a new direction in a city that now shines again. It was in 1894 that Le Grand Hotel was opened, as the only hotel in Rome to provide innovative modern services, such as electricity and private bathroom in each bedroom. Today “Vivendo”, makes its mark on dining in the capital, just as the hotel did on hospitality and accommodation. At the end of 2001, the restaurant “Vivendo” gained the Gold Key Award for excellence in design, and right after it has been included in the new Zagat guide “Europe’s Top Restaurants” as number one in Rome for the quality of food and the service. For the first time the guide selected 1.121 restaurants in 25 main European cities: as a result of this survey, the Italian cuisine is considered the most inventive, together with the French one; Rome is the best city for its offer and the restaurant “Vivendo” obtained the first place for the quality of food and the service. The restaurant now provides a sophisticated environment with a contemporary atmosphere. The furniture recalls the style of thirties and forties, offering an informal but refined environment, well balanced with St. Regis Grand Hotel, where it is. Seventy places, an intimate room for 14 guests, the “Champagnerie”, lighting designed to help the diners relax, but at the same time to emphasise the works of culinary art of Chef Umberto Vezzoli who offers products typical of the area combined with intense fragrances and aromas. The wine list is selected by Federico Galligani, the Restaurant Manager and enthusiastic sommelier. It offers three hundred and fifty labels, of which more than half belong to the great oenological tradition and newly emerging Italian wineries. The bottles are stored in the “di…Vino”, a real innovation in the catering world, a cellar where one can taste a selected wine in complete tranquillity and dine in a distinctive environment with a menu created for the occasion.

ASK IF YOU MAY SEE THE VINEYARD!
VINTAGE WINE FROM A GREAT HOTEL
Adornetto, delicate “nectar” from the St. Regis Grand — one of the best kept secrets of the Grand Hotel in Rome is its vineyard. Vines in the centre of Rome, on the Esquilino hill, in a small courtyard at the service entrance to the St. Regis Grand Hotel, at number 98/H of Via XX Settembre. A dozen vine plants are laid out, aminiature vineyard as the one in Montmartre in Paris. Bunches of grapes fed and pressed produced two or three hundred litres of white wine a year. The first experiment took place with a harvest in 1974: around one hundred bottles which remained the regular production level. It was “Rhine” wine at the beginning, then became like Champagne with a soft, delicate and harmonious flavour. Alcoholic content: 11.5%. The label was created using strong colours to contrast with the white wine. On the top part of the bottle the inscription “Adornetto” with a captivating Pantalon drinking a toast. The smiling mask holding the half filled cup is Pantalon of Bisognosi (needy), a rich and greedy merchant, old and grumbling, traditionally the laughingstock of the young for his foolish romantic aspirations. Adornetto finished by acquiring an unpredictable success, probably because it was exclusively cultivated from the staff of the hotel. The grapes’ cultivation was initially an idea of an internal employee Salvatore Adornetto who in fact gave his name to the wine. The privilege to taste this unique deliciousness was exclusively given to the most loyal and distinguished clients of the St. Regis Grand Hotel. A bottle of Adornetto, apart from its contents, remained a most appreciated gift that was the added merit of reminding guests of the most unforgettable of Roman holidays.
