A shop, restaurant and butcher in the heart of the Aventino district of Rome.

Taste the flavours of yesteryear

Aventina is a local shop that feels like home and brings small Italian producers, niche products and international delicacies under one roof.

Products don’t just sit on shelves here: they are the true focus of the shop

The products you will find in the shop are a vital part of a concept that does not merely display the food, but tells its story prepares it and serves it on a plate.

In the meat restaurant, you can taste Italian and international cuts of meat coming from controlled, non-intensive farms that avoid GMOs and antibiotics, thus contributing to a virtuous circle that values producers and an ethical supply chain.

You can buy that same meat in the butcher and take it home with you.

The food & wine department is rich and constantly evolving

You will embark on a gastronomic journey through a butchery, a cheese counter and a hot and cold delicatessen offering the same products as those used in the restaurant. If you wish, you can buy the products yourself and cook them at home, maybe following one of our recipes.

Moreover, you will find a selection of more than 250 wine labels ranging from North to South and international sparkling wines all carefully selected to help you find the right product.

BREAD

Taste bites from Rome’s historic bakeries

Tradition is in the hands of those who have always known their trade: this is why we have decided to feature bread from the best Roman bakeries, where the masters of leavening produce masterpieces of “white art” on a daily basis using top quality ingredients.

Unbleached flours rich in taste and minerals, light and digestible doughs, and organic salt: these are just some of the ingredients that contribute to the magic of a type of bread that has made history in Rome.

Restaurant

Taste our products in the dining room

Our gastronomic journey also passes through the tables of our restaurant. Here you can fully experience the philosophy of our restaurant, namely “from the counter to the table”, because everything you see displayed in the butcher’s counter can be enjoyed while sitting comfortably in the dining room.

Chianina and Fassona are not the only options: this tour is not limited to our region, but goes beyond its borders to include the best international specialties such as the delicious Sashi beef and the exquisite Wagyu beef.

A sip of Italy (and more)

The wine shop is the perfect partner to our restaurant; in it, you can find a selection of the best Italian wines and champagnes to pair with our meat dishes. With its bright, large shop window facing the street, Aventina’s wine cellar is open to the public and complements the kitchen menu with a sophisticated wine list that ranges from local to renowned producers, whose products can be enjoyed by the glass or bottle. But there’s more: did you like the wine you dined with? You can buy it from us and taste it at home!

The menu varies according to the seasonality of the ingredients, which can be accompanied by signature cocktails suggested by our barmen or inspired by the daily selection.
