Allianz Italia, part of the leading international group in insurance services and asset management, announces the opening of QUID - Unique Italian Dining, an ambitious hospitality and haute cuisine project located on the terrace of the historic Palazzo Marignoli in Rome, in Piazza san Silvestro 8, with one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the Eternal City.

The initiative represents an important example of Allianz's real estate valorisation strategy and is the natural evolution of a long-standing synergy: the one between Allianz and the team of Enrico Bartolini, the most awarded starred chef in Italia, who together with Colombian chef Juan Camilo Quintero has already sanctioned the international success of Il Poggio Rosso, the restaurant of Borgo San Felice Resort owned by the Allianz Group, in Tuscany, with a Michelin Star obtained the first time in 2020 and reconfirmed again in 2025 under the leadership of the new Head Chef Stelios Sakalis.

QUID - Unique Italian Dining, a new address destined to leave its mark on the panorama of haute cuisine in Rome, is born in the heart of the capital. The inauguration is scheduled for 5 May next.

The restaurant proposes a new vision of the gastronomic experience, going beyond conventions. QUID - Unique Italian Dining presents itself as a space where cuisine, art and lifestyle coexist naturally, expressing an identity that moves beyond the mainstream. Of great prestige is the rooftop of the historic Palazzo Marignoli, overlooking Piazza San Silvestro, which allows guests to enjoy both the elegant interior spaces and this wonderful, spacious new Roman terrace. Equally important is the brand new "vertical" museum route proposed by Allianz along the 6 floors of the renovated Palazzo Marignoli, which QUID - Unique Italian Dining guests will be able to visit by climbing up or down the Palazzo's stairs.

In a city permeated with history and beauty at every glimpse, Allianz and Enrico Bartolini's gastronomic project chooses to dialogue with tradition through a contemporary language, capable of encompassing the entire experience, from the signature cocktail to the dishes with meticulous attention to detail. The result is a subtle balance between research and immediacy, between technique and spontaneity, with the guest always at the centre of the gastronomic tale.

The kitchen is headed by chef Juan Camilo Quintero, interpreter of a fresh and authentic gastronomic vision, rooted in tradition but open to international suggestions. This new path ideally follows in the wake of his previous experiences, gained at Il Poggio Rosso within the Borgo San Felice Resort in Castelnuovo Berardenga (Siena), obtaining a Michelin Star in 2020.

QUID - Unique Italian Dining takes shape as an evolved expression of contemporary fine dining. Inspired by a philosophy of conscious subtraction, the offer is built on a targeted selection of experiences, where each element contributes to defining the culinary narrative

The menu offers dishes characterised by an exclusive and clearly recognisable personality. The journey through flavours reflects Chef Quintero's South American roots and his cosmopolitan background, offering a proposal capable of dialoguing with different palates throughout the year.

His culinary vision also abandons the idea of a single, static menu, leaving room for a dynamic proposal. Guests can choose a signature course, a contemporary seasonal option or freely compose the experience, from a single dish to a complete itinerary. To complete the gastronomic proposal, an essential but nuanced tasting menu, designed to follow the seasons, with fish in the foreground in the summer months and meat in the autumn.

The menu is developed in three moments, punctuated by Roman numerals. The first act is dedicated to starters, expressing creativity and immediacy. The second focuses on pasta, rice and soups. The third offers a few main dishes executed with precision and character.

The cheeses are reinterpreted in novel preparations that go beyond the tradition of the classic trolley, while the desserts recount the art of express baking.

The gastronomic narrative of QUID - Unique Italian Dining finds its fulfilment in the architecture that defines the spaces.

On the sixth floor of the nineteenth-century Palazzo Marignoli, the redevelopment by architect Riccardo Bichara has combined historical character and contemporary standards, enhancing the works of the Allianz Group collection in a sophisticated "Galleria Verticale" open to the public from 5 May 2026, which can also be enjoyed by guests of QUID - Unique Italian Dining. The interiors of the 480-square-metre restaurant dialogue with the splendid 1,500-square-metre panoramic terrace that embraces Rome and, at sunset, lights up with warm and vibrant reflections. The capacity of the restaurant is 54 seats in the indoor dining room and 150 people standing in the outdoor dining room.

The architectural design of the restaurant, signed by architect Stefano Guidotti, translates the culinary identity into a coherent and distinctive language: marble, brass and lime finishes build a refined dialogue between opaque and reflective surfaces, in harmony with the care QUID - Unique Italian Dining reserves for the selection of ingredients.

Travertine dominates the terrace through seating, planters and sculptures that blend with the paving, while Italia design furniture and custom-made pieces coexist with signature light installations, accompanying the guest on a fluid path between lounge, lounge and bar.

Art, design and gastronomic experience form the pillars of the project that transforms the rooftop into a new contemporary destination in the centre of Rome.

"In a city of such stratified history and profound tradition as Rome, I imagine a journey that is born from the dialogue between belonging and distance, where a free and curious external gaze translates into a conscious and measured freedom of interpretation. We are in one of the historical capitals of civilisation, which has always been a place of encounter and exchange between cultures: the ideal context in which a personal cuisine can develop naturally, openly and authentically,' says chef Juan Camilo Quintero.

"The Roman gastronomic scene is going through a phase of strong evolution, and this creates a particularly favourable context for a project like QUID - Unique Italian Dining. Our path is guided by a contemporary language that interprets ingredients with respect, recognises their expressive richness and transforms them into emotion through cooking," says Enrico Bartolini.

"With QUID - Unique Italian Dining Allianz inaugurates in Rome a new hospitality and haute cuisine project in partnership with Enrico Bartolini, who has already been at our side for years and successfully catering at our Borgo San Felice Resort in Tuscany. We are convinced that guests who choose to have an experience at QUID - Unique Italian Dining will take with them not only the memory of an amazing cuisine, thanks to the talent of Juan Camilo Quintero, but also the beautiful rooftop overlooking the historic centre of Rome and the immersion in art by visiting the new Vertical Gallery that Allianz has created in Palazzo Marignoli," says Maurizio Devescovi, General Manager of Allianz S.p.A. and Managing Director of San Felice.
