One Michelin Star

Chef Riccardo Di Giacinto | ITALIAN FOOD

City: Rome Italy. Via Giuseppe Pisanelli, 23/25, 00196 Roma, ITALY

MICHELIN WORTHY | REVIEW | ITALY

Surprisingly, we had the most whimsical dinner at the ONE Michelin star All’Oro Restaurant. This Michelin Star Italian restaurant is tucked away in a quaint boutique hotel, serving up playful Italian classics with a modern twist. All’Oro Restaurant is run by a husband and wife team, Chef Riccardo Di Giacinto and Ramona Anello. Ricardo is in the kitchen and Ramona is in the dining room. Di Giacinto serves up the most creative presentations with a clever play on words for many of the dishes.

Check out all the fun little dishes we had presented to us below. Although officially we only ordered an appetizer, entree, dessert, there were plenty of other little extras interjected along the way. All of them fun, amusing, and not always what they appeared to be.

Thus, if you ever find yourself in Rome, wanting a break from the typical pizza and pasta, and looking for a different kind of fine dining Michelin worthy experience (one that’s more playful than Alain Ducasse style) then unquestionably All’Oro Restaurant should be on your radar to check out. All’Oro is definitely worthy of a visit.

Pasta Al dente

Fun play on words- A bite of fried pasta All’oro served up in a porcelain tooth.

Chef Di Giacinto’s brilliance and humor shines through on many of the dishes. One of the waiters even told us they have a room full of fun little plates and serving pieces. They buy them sometimes before even knowing how it will be used. Just a perfect example of how the server ware is the conduit, and inspires the dish creation, instead of the other way around. In this case, this fried al dente pasta creation on the tooth was just al dente perfection!

Carbonara Reduction Without the pasta

This riff on the traditional Roman dish takes the ingredients that comprise the recipe’s essence, concentrating their flavours in a smooth and crunchy foam.

“Rocher” of Oxtail

*Vaccinara Style with Celery Gelée. Yet another signature dish of All’Oro Restaurant. It was a very delicious bite.

Cappelletti “Dry Broth”

Parmesan, Saffron and lemon. This classic All’Oro dish inverts the Italian traditional dish of tortellini in brodo – filled pasta in broth – by placing the consommé at the heart of these delicate pasta buttons, served with a delicate cheese and saffron sauce.

*so creative and delicious!

All’Oro Tiramisù

*really dainty, light, airy, and absolutely ethereal. After having so many of these while in Rome, this one was definitely a standout.

Not a marshmallow Coffee

Curry-sol

A fun play on Carousal with Curry-sol. A curry flavored filling in between 2 cookies. The wind up carousal actually works… the waiters wound it up and it played a cute little melody for us at the table, spinning around as we watched our little curry-sol flavored cookies go in circles. Super cute!

Pina colada

*One bite explosion in the mouth. Actually tasted like pina colada 🍹

Carbon’ Air

White Chocolate Egg, Liquid Heart of Passion Fruit and Citrus

*A very signature dish at All’Oro Restaurant. It involves the “EGG” being dropped from above, crashing down, cracking, and thus “Carbon Air”. Yet another cleaver play on words again for Carbonara, egg, and falling from the air. Tasty too. Just wish there was more quantity… like half a dozen eggs please. =)
