The Hostaria dell’Orso is the oldest hosterly in Rome. In the Middle Age, it was a tavern, offering lodging and refreshments to pilgrims visiting the city. In the 16th century it became a hotel: Rabelais, Montaigne and Goethe where among its guests. By the middle of the twentieth century, it was operating as a restaurant and night-club, much frequented by the stars of the Dolce Vita: Onassis e la Callas, Clark Gable, Tyrone Power and many more.
Then in 1997 after diverse changing owners it was closed. Thanks to the entrepeneur Vincenzo Nicastro and the great chef Gualtiero Marchesi, the restaurant and night-club has reopened again.

 


Visitors can now enjoy a top-class cuisine in the historic building: Gualtiero Marchesi has been the first Italian chef to receive 3 stars by the Michelin Red Guide in 1985 and he is best known for having changed the way of cooking in Italy.
