La Mantia
Hotel Majestic Roma
Rome, 00187, Italy
Run by Sicilian chef Filippo La Mantia’s, this restaurant serves up the food of his home island, including standout dishes like the meat-and-rice-stuffed red pepper and handmade pasta with eggplant and caciocavallo cheese. Set in a lavish dining room in the Hotel Majestic, the self taught chef relies heavily on traditional dishes and even street food, though tosses out stereotypes of Sicilian cuisine by serving them with creative twists and modern plating. Seats on the terrace that overlooks Via Veneto offer the best vistas.
Insider Tip:
While almost sacreligious in a Sicialian kitchen, La Mantia doesn't use soffritto, a garlic and onion base, as he dislikes the two ingredients.
