Company description

Roscioli is a Roman institution, both with locals and visitors from around the world, with close to 200 years of history.

You’ll find four unique locations within the Eternal City, all of which are renowned for their artisan Italian products and industry leading approach to hospitality.

It all began in 1974 with Antico Forno Roscioli, located in one of the oldest bakeries in the city dating to 1824. Famed not only for its bread, the Forno is the go-to place for Roman street food such as supplì and pizza al taglio.

Twenty years later, Salumeria Roscioli, the deli, opened and revolutionized the restaurant world when they added a kitchen.  Endless research goes into sourcing only the finest ingredients. Today it’s known worldwide for the famous carbonara, nearly 300 artisan cheeses, 150 cured meats and over 3,000 wine labels in the cellar.

Rimessa Roscioli, born from wine tasting and pairing experiences, is also a full restaurant with a convivial spirit, a focus on wine and storytelling, and other experiences like cooking classes, EVOO tastings, and a world-class wine club featuring artisan Italian wines.

Finally, just a few meters away is Roscioli Caffè, the perfect place for a quick coffee at the bar like a true Roman, paired with something sweet from their patisserie selections.
