With the return of mild temperatures, the Prati neighborhood unveils one of its most secluded corners:Antéla’s Urban Garden. Located on Via dei Gracchi, insidethe NH Collection Roma Centro but featuring a separate entrance, this space serves as an oasis of tranquility away from the urban chaos, capable of accommodating over a hundred guests amidst greenery and soft lighting.
Aperitivo in the secret garden in Prati
The highlight of the day in the garden is from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The aperitif concept emphasizes variety and sharing: when you order a drink—choosing from signature cocktails, wine, beer, or non-alcoholic options— you’ll be served a selection of tapas that changes daily.
The menu reflects the cosmopolitan spirit of chef Natale Giunta, blending the flavors of Sicilian tradition with international influences. You’ll find panelle and arancini, as well as bao buns and small sushi bites. To continue the evening, an extensive tapas menu is available.
The season’s highlight is the new drink list curated by Daniele Zandri and Damiano Bosco, designed to resemble a fashion magazine. Each cocktail pays homage to styles and icons of the past and present. For example, number 5 is a reinterpretation of the Martini inspired by Coco Chanel.
Althoughthe outdooraperitif is the heart of the spring offering, Antéla remains a fluid space open daily from 12:30 PM to midnight. From dinner featuring raw seafood and Sicilian ingredients to Sunday brunch , the garden remains a go-to spot for those seeking a slower, more convivial pace in the heart of Rome.
