Sunday Lunch returns on 15 February at Longitude 12 Bistrot & Jardin in Le Méridien Visconti Rome in collaboration with Riso Buono and Marchesi di Barolo.
Menus featuring Piedmont and Lombardy cuisine
The lunch leads guests on a journey of discovery through the flavours of Italian cuisine across its regions and traditional recipes. In the second half of 2025, with the launch of this gastronomic initiative by Le Méridien Visconti Rome, the journey began in Campania, the homeland of Executive Chef Giuseppe Gaglione. Sunday lunch now resumes with a series of events running until March, dedicated to two regions of northern Italy, Piedmont and Lombardy. The menu will be built around dishes that speak of memory and conviviality, that evoke the warmth of a family lunch while recounting a living and current tradition.

The first course is from a live cooking station
The inspiration comes from an anecdote common to Piedmontese and Lombard tables: Sunday lunch began the day before, on Saturday, due to the slow preparation of recipes reserved for special occasions. The dishes served were not only nourishment for the body, but something to be eagerly awaited, shared together and remembered over time. m The execution of the traditional recipes is entrusted to the expertise of the Executive Chef of Longitude 12 Bistrot e Jardin, who will prepare a first course from the menu live at a live cooking station during each event. For the seven Sundays dedicated to Piedmont and Lombardy, the collaboration will be with Riso Buono and the Marchesi di Barolo winery.

A tribute to the cultural value and identity of Italian food
Every Sunday, the traditional first course, a risotto made with Riso Buono, will always be prepared in Live Cooking. Other dishes, from appetisers to additional first courses and main courses, will enrich the table, and dessert is, of course, a must. This project also aims to be a tribute to the cultural value and identity of Italian food and its gastronomic traditions, as well as lunch as a shared social ritual. On 10 December 2025, Italian cuisine was added to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List, recognising the cultural and social value of the practices, gestures and knowledge that have been handed down through the generations. Dates: 15 and 22 February; 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 March, from 12:00–15:00 p.m. The price (including 1 glass of Franciacorta, water, soft drinks and coffee) is €35 per person for adults and €19 per person for children aged 4 to 12.
