MAIO Restaurant
Roma

Perched atop the Rinascente, this venue executes a sophisticated cuisine-identity thesis that bridges Milanese tradition with Roman terroir. The signature Milano Tokyo 1988 risotto is a masterclass in technique, featuring saffron-infused grains crowned with the clean, oceanic sweetness of red tuna tartare. Aromas of toasted saffron and Cetara anchovy sauce drift from the open kitchen, where chefs employ precision sous-vide for the pink veal, served with a velvety tuna emulsion and the saline pop of salmon roe. Texture plays a pivotal role, from the crunch of house-made amaretto crumble on pumpkin-filled tortelli to the delicate lamination of Roman-style artichokes stuffed with creamed salted cod. The spaghetto aglio e olio gains complexity through a fermented depth of tuna roe, while the wood-fired pinsa caprese offers a charred, airy contrast. Each plate is a balanced exploration of ingredient purity, delivered with a visual elegance that mirrors the surrounding Roman skyline.
