Imagine stepping through the gates of Villa Pamphili, Rome’s beautiful green lung, and leaving the noise of the city behind. Here, among historic paths and green expanses, the VIVI picnic experience transforms a simple outdoor break into a moment of authentic beauty and relaxation.
The Villa Pamphili Picnic Experience
You won’t have to worry about a thing: pick up your wicker basket and mat directly at the VIVI café, located in a charming restored barn within the park. From that moment on, the Villa becomes your private living room. You can choose to spread out your towel in the shade of a maritime pine or near a sun-drenched lawn, letting yourself be lulled by the sounds of nature.
Three ways to enjoy the lawn
VIVI’s offerings are designed to satisfy every palate, always with a focus on organic ingredients and fresh recipes. The cost of the basket for two people is 60 euros.
- The Fascino Campagnolo picnic is for those who love the flavors of the earth, featuring a hearty grain salad dressed with pesto and sun-dried tomatoes, organic mozzarella, and a delicious vegan apple crumble, all accompanied by a fine organic red wine.
- A Touch of Romance: a more refined option featuring the exotic flavors of guacamole and a salmon chirashi bowl, ending on a sweet note with a cream-topped tarte tatin and a toast with organic prosecco.
- The Vegetarian Choice: a journey of flavors ranging from chickpea hummus to the “Thai bowl” with plant-based chicken, perfect for those seeking a light yet protein-rich meal, always accompanied by organic sparkling wine.
Picnic on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday
During the spring holidays, the picnic becomes even more iconic. The menu is enriched with traditional classics such as organic roast chicken with potatoes, decorated hard-boiled eggs, and the ever-present homemade Neapolitan pastiera, to celebrate the holidays immersed in the reawakening of nature.
Villa Pamphili is not just a setting, but an integral part of the experience: with its Baroque architecture and vast gardens, it offers the perfect backdrop to unwind and rediscover the pleasure of life’s simple joys.
The picnic can be booked online with pickup at Vivi (Via Vitellia, 102). For more information, including details on catered picnics, please email villapamphili@vivi.
