The story
Just behind Via Vittorio Veneto, a short walk from Piazza di Spagna, Giano brings the bold, sun-drenched flavours of Sicily to the Eternal City. The restaurant occupies a refined space where wood panelling and design objects set a warm, intimate tone, while the outdoor Giardino Clandestino—shared with W Lounge—offers an alfresco escape in warmer months.
The kitchen is led by chef Ciccio Sultano, whose philosophy of “Cucina Educata” marries fresh, honest ingredients with meticulous technique. His team creates signature dishes that draw directly from Sicilian tradition: soulful street food, pastas shaped by the island’s varied cultural influences, the delicate aromas of Nebrodi pork, and the classic sweetness of ricotta cannoli. The menu changes with the seasons, letting ingredients speak for themselves.
A dedicated pastry corner, Zucchero X Fabrizio Fiorani, adds another layer to the experience. Maestro pasticcere Fabrizio Fiorani layers complex flavours, textures and creativity into desserts that reflect Rome’s obsession with pleasure—proof that the meal’s sweet finale can be as memorable as the savoury courses.
Giano’s Michelin Recommended status for 2026 recognises this balance of authenticity and polish. Whether for a Sunday brunch with friends, an Aperitivo Eterno in the garden, or a full dinner focused on classic Mediterranean cuisine, the restaurant embodies a spirit of conviviality that feels both refined and natural.
