“We are delighted to announce the opening of our second location, in the heart of Rome, just a short walk from the Spanish Steps. After years of success at our historic location in Florence, we’re ready to bring our unique vision of hospitality, design, and flavors to the capital.”
The event will also officially mark the launch of La Ménagère’s new brunch offering: a revamped menu, designed to welcome the colder season with select ingredients, refined comfort food, and pairings that highlight Italian tradition with a contemporary twist.
