Rome · Private Palazzo
Your evening. Beneath five centuries of fresco.
Not a restaurant. A private dinner, an intimate celebration, a memorable day, hosted for you and your guests inside a historic Roman palazzo, by candlelight.
The Experience
Four acts of one unrepeatable evening.
Host with Flair is not a restaurant. It is a private home that opens its doors for one dinner, one celebration, one memorable day at a time, be it a couple, a small circle of friends, or a private party. You are welcomed as friends of the house.
Private Tour of the Piano
A candlelit walk through the frescoed rooms of the piano, guided personally by Corso, the owner of the floor, who opens its doors and shares its stories.
Aperitivo at the Salon
Champagne and chef's canapés beneath the frescoed vault of the Noble Hall.
Dinner
A tasting journey from our resident chef. Roman tradition reimagined, paired with rare labels from the historic cellar.
Secret Dessert
Served in a hidden room the guests have not yet seen. A final surprise revealed by candlelight.
Your Hostess · Founder
Hosted by Maria Renata Catalano Rossi Danielli
Maria Renata is the founder and creator of this project. She does not live in the palazzo. The piano belongs to a dear friend of hers, Corso, and together they decided to open its doors a few evenings a season, so that this hidden wonder could be quietly shared with a chosen few.
Maria Renata personally welcomes every guest, opens the doors of the noble rooms, and accompanies your evening from the first aperitivo to the final candlelit surprise. You are not a customer. You are her guest.

The Palazzo
A secret kept in the heart of Rome.
The rooms that welcome you were frescoed in the early 17th century by Guercino, Domenichino, Giovanni Lanfranco, Francesco Albani and Cavalier d'Arpino. Decorated ceilings, original marbles, period furniture, and an atmosphere few have had the privilege to experience. Corso, the owner of the piano, accompanies guests through its rooms, unveiling the frescoes and the centuries of family memory held within these walls.
For the privacy of the family, the palazzo is not named publicly. It lies in the historic centre of Rome. The exact address is shared with confirmed guests forty-eight hours before the evening.
