London restaurant Dinings SW3 heads to Rome for a springtime pop-up at the Hotel de la Ville; from March 13 to 25 it will be at the hotel’s Da Sistina restaurant.

The restaurant, which opened in 2017 and combines contemporary Japanese cuisine with Western influences, wants to offer an opportunity to experience Masaki Sugisaki’s menu in Rome for the first time. For his debut appearance in the Italian capital, the Executive Chef of Dinings SW3 will combine Japanese cooking techniques with Italian ingredients to devise a menu characterised by creations such as Native Lobster Ceviche, cured Italian cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and yuzu ceviche vinaigrette; Italian Wagyu Chateaubriand Sando, soba pain de mie, and Port wine tamari soy; and Soy-Cured Tuna Nigiri, Kombu-cured caviar and Akazu sushi rice. A vegetarian menu will also be available.

“Rome is the epicentre of culinary inspiration. We are honoured to enrich the city’s gastronomic scene for two weeks, working side by side with a maestro like Fulvio Pierangelini, Creative Director of Food at Rocco Forte Hotels,” said Sugisaki.

Rocco Forte Hotels, a collection of 14 hotels and resorts, had a partnership with Dinings SW3 before at its Verdura Resort in Sicily.
