Doney @ The Westin Excelsior is one Rome restaurant that didn’t have to be so beautiful, so elegant, so highly accomplished. Its location on the famous Via Veneto would have been enough to attract the diners, but Doney has much more. It is a sumptuous restaurant with classically inspired decoration, elegant leather seating, soaring ceilings with clerestory windows, and antique details. The ambience is both formal and relaxed. The view over the famous street is divine. Doney combines the best of the past with the elegance of the 21st century. The menu, under head chef James Foglieni, features Mediterranean cuisine based on the freshest, lightest ingredients. Live jazz fills the air during the Sunday brunch, and innovative vegetarian dishes are always available. Open from breakfast through late supper, Doney @ Westin is an unforgettable destination.
