Roman Villa Food Experience - The Thermopolium

Step back into the tastes and aromas of Ancient Rome at our faithfully reconstructed Thermopolium. Here, dishes inspired by Roman history and literature are brought to life with fresh estate produce, offering a vibrant glimpse into culinary traditions that have endured for millennia.
Nestled in the courtyard of our meticulously crafted Roman Villa, the Thermopolium is brought to life and guided by the wisdom of Ricky, our resident Roman Food expert. A visit is an opportunity not only to savour authentic flavours, but also to hear the stories, techniques and ingredients that shaped Rome’s gastronomic world.
