L’altro Mastai is a dream, ”another dream” come true; it is a place where one can bask in the Mediterranean sunshine rediscovering flavours and fragrances. After reconstruction and decoration work that took 3 years to complete, the restaurant, which has a staff of over 20 people and is situated in the very heart of Rome’s historical centre, opened on September 25, 2003. In November 2005 L’Altro Mastai received a Michelin star.

In designing and setting up the spaces, special attention was dedicated to the details: the interior decorators firm “Vivai del Sud”, entrusted with the project, created an ambience where classical elements such as arches, mosaics and vaults all blend together, and where rounded lines welcome guests with a sense of flowing continuity.

The rich colours, the vivid spots of orange, yellow, brown, ochre and red which illuminate the walls hung with abstract paintings, are also the tones that characterize chef Baldassarre’s cuisine.
