Old World hospitality, one unforgettable table at a time
Spartaco Selection brings together exceptional wines, authentic Roman cuisine, and intimate private dining experiences curated by international sommelier and chef Spartaco Donati.
Spartaco Selection is a deeply personal expression of Old World hospitality, created by Spartaco Donati, an international sommelier, Roman chef, and passionate curator of exceptional food and wine experiences. Rooted in the traditions of Italy yet inspired by the great wine regions of France and Spain, Spartaco Selection is built on a simple philosophy: that the perfect harmony between food and wine should create memories that last a lifetime.
At the heart of the experience is Spartaco himself. Whether hosting an intimate private dinner, guiding a curated wine tasting, or preparing authentic Roman cuisine in your home, he brings a rare combination of expertise, warmth, and storytelling to the table. Guests are invited into a world where meals unfold slowly, conversations deepen, and every detail is chosen with intention.
The wine collection is carefully curated, featuring exceptional bottles imported from Italy, France, and Spain that reflect craftsmanship, authenticity, and a sense of place. These wines are not selected because they are fashionable or expensive, but because they evoke emotion and connect people to the traditions from which they came.
On the culinary side, Spartaco specializes in classic Roman cuisine, including his beloved Pizza Romana — a thin, crispy crust made from long-rising dough and topped with carefully sourced ingredients, many imported directly from Italy. Traditional Roman pastas such as Carbonara, Amatriciana, and Cacio e Pepe are prepared with the same respect for simplicity and authenticity that defines everything he does.
For those seeking something beyond a restaurant reservation, Spartaco Selection offers a return to the essence of hospitality — gathering around a table, sharing exceptional food and wine, and creating meaningful experiences with family and friends.
Insider Insight
Don’t simply ask Spartaco what he recommends. Ask him to tell you a story about the wine. The most memorable evenings often begin with a bottle chosen not for its label or prestige, but for its connection to a vineyard, a family, or a moment in time. Before long, the wine, the food, and the conversation become inseparable.
And if Pizza Romana is on the menu, make sure you arrive early in the evening. Watching guests take their first bite of the impossibly crisp crust is part of the experience itself.
Spartaco Selection is more than a wine collection or private dining service. It is an invitation into a world of genuine hospitality, authentic flavors, and meaningful connection. Through carefully curated wines, traditional Roman cuisine, and the personal touch of Spartaco Donati himself, every gathering becomes an experience that lingers long after the final glass has been raised.
The best meals are not measured by courses or bottles, but by the memories created around the table.
