A wonderful place

In front of the enchanting scenery of the Circus Maximus, in a splendid cave dating back to 46 BC.

A Question of Style

It's more than just a restaurant, café, and cocktail bar; it's a venue nestled in an ancient Roman cave dating back to 46 BC, where meeting isn't mandatory, but happens spontaneously. The Guenda project, run by Donne alone, is based on the belief in spreading the culture and pleasure of food, drink, and entertainment in all its forms, where everything revolves around one concept: because you're tired of the same old places.

Coffee bar

Above the chaos and noise.

Sit back, make yourself comfortable and enjoy moments of absolute comfort and relaxation before starting your day.


From the morning, Guenda opens up to the city of Rome, to its rhythms, to its passengers thanks to a place where the great Italian tradition of the coffee bar marries the most diverse tastes of the tourists who liven up the Circus Maximus.



Restaurant


Combining quality and creativity, attention to detail and refinement: let yourself be surprised by our gastronomic offerings for lunch and dinner. At our tables, you can experience, taste, and savour the finest dishes of Italian cuisine. Typical products come together to create a wealth of recipes, the result of a gastronomic approach and a constant pursuit of flavor perfection—the most appreciated aspect of lunches and dinners at our restaurant at the Circo Massimo. Too often, tourists visiting Rome struggle to find authentic dishes: we want to educate them about food, respect for seasonality, and wines and cocktails with their own identity and story to tell.
