Le Jardin de Russie

Le Jardin de Russie's terraced garden is one of central Rome's best-kept secrets, a genuinely green, quiet space for a long Italian lunch minutes from the Spanish Steps.

The garden climbs the hillside in a series of terraces, and lunch tables are arranged among the citrus trees and hedges, well shielded from the noise of the Via del Babuino below. The kitchen sticks to confident, produce-driven Italian cooking, and it is one of the only proper garden restaurants in central Rome.
