Open Colonna

Headed by Italian star chef Antonello Colonna, the Open Colonna restaurant is a more casual, affordable spot to sample the innovative Roman cuisine that put Colonna on the map when he opened his first restaurant in Labico, some 25 miles outside the capital. Housed in the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, itself a masterpiece fusing ancient and contemporary architecture, the restaurant occupies a soaring, glass-paneled dining room. The size of the space make for a bustling (and at times noisy) scene, but the modern decor, innovative cuisine and affordable prix-fixe make this a god spot for lunch. Dinner at the more formal Antonello Colonna restaurant on the top floor is a much lengthier and pricier affair, although fodies rate it highly as well.
