STEP INTO INEO

Having earned a Michelin star in 2026, INEO has established itself as one of Rome’s most refined contemporary dining destinations. Located within Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel, it’s an intimate gastronomic experience where innovative cuisine, elegant design and immersive storytelling meet.

At the helm is Executive Chef Heros De Agostinis, whose internationally inspired culinary philosophy is rooted in the concept of “métissage” – a synthesis of cultures, aromas, spices and techniques shaped by years of travel and global experience.

European, Asian and Middle Eastern influences coexist throughout the menu, expressed through vibrant flavours, delicate spices and refined textures, always balanced, always elegant. Piazza Vittorio, one of Rome’s most authentic and cosmopolitan neighbourhoods, inspires and infuses INEO with a multicultural spirit.

Diners join Chef Heros on a sophisticated tasting journey to explore a cuisine that is instinctive, expressive and deeply connected to emotion. Each dish is conceived as part of a wider narrative, combining precision, creativity and seasonality to create a dining experience that evolves course after course.

Three words define Chef De Agostinis’ cuisine: vibrant, for the vivid colours and energy reflected in each creation; light, for the refined harmony between flavour and technique; and playful, for the unexpected details and presentations designed to surprise and engage.

Among the most distinctive elements of the INEO experience is its celebrated bread trolley, awarded “Best Bread on the Table” by Gambero Rosso. For Chef Heros, bread represents conviviality, hospitality and Italian family tradition. From Roman-style pizza and handcrafted breadsticks to rye bread infused with spices and international influences, each creation offers a personal interpretation of contemporary Italian cuisine and welcomes guests into the experience from the very first moment.

A Journey around the world, our tasting menu

Journey Around the World is the chef’s signature tasting menu, created for those who love to travel through food, discover unusual flavors and indulge in unexpected combinations. Aromas, perfumes and spices from different cultures come together with the chef’s distinctive Roman flair, transforming each course into a surprising and memorable experience. An invitation to explore the world, one dish at a time.

GASTRONOMIC CONCEPT

His creative concept draws inspiration mainly from the raw materials of the markets he has explored, and continues to explore, around the world, first and foremost the one closest to home being The Esquilino market in Rome’s Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, the city’s vibrant multi-cultural district. His menu is characterised by continuous dynamism and innovation.
