Sacred Flavours in a Storied Setting
San Baylon, situated within the historic Palazzo Ripetta in Rome’s Trastevere district, offers a dining experience steeped in heritage and elegance. Housed in the former refectory of a 17th-century convent, the restaurant offers both an elegant interior and a tranquil courtyard cloister, creating an intimate setting where history and contemporary design coexist effortlessly. Named in honour of San Pasquale Baylon, the patron saint of cooks, the venue radiates a quiet reverence for culinary tradition.
Under the direction of Chef Marco Ciccotelli, the menu draws from Italy’s rich regional landscape with a particular focus on ingredients sourced from Lazio. Standout dishes include delicate ‘cacio e ova’ cheese and egg dumplings in a fragrant tomato sauce, and handmade bottoncini pasta filled with guinea fowl and peas. The dessert menu, guided by Pastry Chef Giuseppe Solfrizzi, adds a southern flourish with Pugliese influences and creations such as vanilla and caramel mille-feuille.
The adjoining Baylon Cocktail Bar enhances the experience with a curated list of inventive drinks, created in collaboration with leading mixologists. Whether for an elegant lunch, an aperitivo, or a refined dinner, San Baylon offers a harmonious blend of Roman tradition, quiet luxury, and contemporary taste.
