Essentiality in a dish

A creative and visionary soul. A minimalist and refined cuisine. A room that embraces the chef at work to make your experience a unique show.

Chef

Chef Richard Abou Zaki’s creative force drives a constant pursuit of essence.

Led by technique and inspired by emotion, he works alongside his brigade to create an unrepeatable kind of magic, to be savored in every course.

Cuisine

Our cuisine is created through a continuous experimentation towards new yet unknown flavor combinations.

We remove the unnecessary and we let the raw material shine, in search of unexpected ways to design new contemporary Italian cuisine.

Book

“Cooking my Dreams” is a candid account in which Richard Abou Zaki retraces the path that led to his first Michelin star and the creation of Retroscena.

A personal and professional journey that now becomes a book. You can request a signed and dedicated copy at info@retroscena-ristorante.com and collect it directly at the restaurant.

Let the show begin

Restaurant

No degree of separation between who creates and who tastes: our kitchen is in the dining room and each service becomes a show to experience.

As you take a seat in our restaurant, you find yourself at the front of a stage. A special moment that embraces dishes and sensations with its magic.

Wine cellar

A wine cellar is never a casual choice. Ours is an underground cave, a small treasury that holds the best labels.

Firm roots and an evolutionary spirit drive the mindful research of our Sommelier Matteo Latini. A wine selection focused on how to match and make each dish shine.

Catering

The elegance of haute cuisine supports the celebrations of the most important moments, both for reserved events at the restaurant and private parties in dream locations.

The menu is personalized together with the chef to make each event unique and the careful attention to detail ensures that every aspect is impeccable.
