On 19 November, on an autumnal day, at Via Metastasio 21, in the centre of Rome, a few steps from the Chamber of Deputies and the Pantheon, there was a small bustle of people.
Old friends, established customers, passers-by, the curious. Almost in a whisper, CiPASSO opened the doors of its second location.
With the elegance that has always distinguished us, we decided to continue our adventure by moving a few steps.
In previous years we have won you over with our attention to detail, with an ambience of soft lighting, warm colours and quality food and wine. Now we want to give you even more, with an even larger location, designed by architect Francesco Zarbano, who specialises in restyling wine bars, wine shops and restaurants. The same care as always but with more seats, to welcome and allow more and more people to enjoy a unique experience at CiPASSO.

Our sommeliers are always on hand to recommend the best wine to go with your chosen dish. The pride and joy of our restaurant is the great culture and meticulous selection of wine cellars. In our cellar we boast wines of the highest quality such as Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Amarone and Barolo; together with the best known and most appreciated wines such as Primitivo, Negroamaro, Susumaniello, Cesanese, and much more.
Another great innovation is our new chef, Matteo Tasciotti, with whom we have created dishes that combine Italian tradition and creativity.
Inevitable and unforgettable are our crostini, CiPASSO's trademark, enjoyed and appreciated by people from all over the world.
Do you know that this year we prepared more than 5K crostini cacio e pepe?
And then there are the chopping boards, with our delicious selection of cold meats and cheeses, the first and second courses, always different because we use seasonal ingredients, and an ever-changing dessert menu.
In fact, never get too used to our menu, it changes all the time!

Not wanting to leave anything to chance and for an all-round perfect experience, we chose a high-end coffee such as Antonelli.
Thus was born the second chapter of our story of love and passion.
In the heart of Rome, a small food and wine gem where you can lose yourself among the flavours of our peninsula.
