Sky-High Roman Elegance
Settimo Roman Cuisine & Terrace, perched on the seventh floor of the Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese, offers an elevated take on traditional Roman dining — both literally and stylistically. With sweeping views across the city’s rooftops to St. Peter’s Basilica, the restaurant combines plush velvet seating, terrazzo floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows to create a setting that is both refined and inviting. Its name nods to Rome’s legendary seven hills and the vantage point from which they’re admired.
Executive Chef Giuseppe D’Alessio presents a menu that reinterprets Roman classics with a modern sensibility. Tonnarelli cacio e pepe, veal saltimbocca, and seasonal vegetable tempura exemplify the kitchen’s focus on fresh, local ingredients and balanced flavours. An extensive wine list and carefully crafted cocktails round out the experience, making it as well suited to a long lunch as it is to an elegant dinner.
The rooftop terrace adds a distinct sense of occasion, especially as the sun sets over the city skyline. Whether for a leisurely breakfast, a romantic dinner, or an aperitivo with a view, Settimo offers a polished yet relaxed atmosphere where the timeless charm of Rome is served on every plate.
