A signature vegetable-forward course that appears regularly. The raviolo wrapper is delicate enough to burst with the slightest fork pressure, releasing red turnip filling that echoes the tartare beneath it. Lime mayonnaise adds brightness and prevents heaviness. This dish showcases Chef Stile's understanding of how a single ingredient can be prepared three ways to create complexity.

This appears on tasting menus regularly. If you see it offered, include it—the simplicity is deceptive.
A casual course on tasting menus that connects diners to Naples and the broader Italian tradition. The base is thin and crisp, the tomato sauce is bright, and the anchovies are assertive without overpowering. It's the kind of dish that feels playful compared to the technical courses surrounding it, yet it's made with the same precision as everything else.
Tips from diners
The anchovy quality here is excellent—they're wild-caught, not farmed. Ask about the sourcing if you're interested.
An unexpected intermezzo that combines savory ricotta with bitter-sweet Aperol Spritz gel and roasted peanut crunch. The sphere bursts on the tongue, releasing cool, creamy ricotta that's immediately cut by the herbal gel. This dish shows Chef Stile's playfulness—it reads like a liquid appetizer but with substance and technique.
Tips from diners
This is a surprising course. Don't hesitate—eat it quickly to experience the gel before it dissolves completely.
A comfort-forward dish refined through ingredient quality. The egg yolk is runny, the truffle adds umami, and buffalo taleggio brings a gentle creaminess that's less aggressive than cow's milk varieties. This appears on tasting menus as a bridge course that feels luxurious without being heavy.
Tips from diners
This is a vegetarian-friendly option if you're sharing a tasting menu with someone avoiding meat.

Located in Villa Laetitia, a 1911 Renaissance-Baroque masterpiece, Enoteca La Torre sits on the banks of the Tiber with views of the river through stucco-adorned windows. Chef Domenico Stile earned the restaurant its second Michelin star in 2022 through imaginative Mediterranean cuisine drawing inspiration from his native Campania and refined French technique. The dining room feels exclusive yet approachable—high craft without pretension.
Book at least three weeks in advance for weekends. Lunch is more accessible than dinner. The dining room is intimate with only 25 seats.
The wine list is presented in two sections, focusing mainly on Italian labels. Ask the sommelier for recommendations that match your budget—La Torre's wine service is thoughtful.
Request a table near the windows if available. The view of the Tiber and manicured garden is part of the experience. The Villa Laetitia setting is architecturally significant.
Expect €200-280 per person for a six-course tasting menu, plus wine and service. This is an investment meal, not a casual dinner.
