Hi-Res - High Restaurant & Terrace Lounge

Hi-Res, also presented as High Restaurant & Terrace Lounge, is a rooftop restaurant and cocktail bar on Via della Fontanella, near Piazza del Popolo and Villa Borghese. Set on the rooftop of Hotel Valadier, the venue places dining, drinks and Rome’s historic rooftops within the same setting. The terrace is arranged for an evening that can move from aperitivo to dinner and later cocktails without changing location.

The restaurant focuses on contemporary Italian cuisine shaped by traditional regional cooking. Classic ideas are reworked with a modern approach, while combinations of flavours provide a more creative direction across the menu. The result is suited to diners looking for an Italian meal with a contemporary presentation rather than a strictly traditional trattoria experience.

The atmosphere combines clean, contemporary design with a more relaxed and comfortable feel. Essential lines, considered details and the open rooftop setting create a space that changes character as daylight fades. During the evening, the terrace provides views across Rome, including monuments, rooftops and the greenery around Villa Borghese. Piazza del Popolo is close by, adding a central reference point for visitors exploring the surrounding area.

Drinks are a central part of the Hi-Res format. The cocktail bar serves recognised Italian and international classics alongside signature creations, with a drinks selection designed to work for an aperitivo, a post-dinner drink or a full evening on the terrace. This makes the venue appropriate for a relaxed drink as well as a meal, particularly for occasions where food and cocktails are intended to share equal importance.

Hi-Res suits couples, small groups and visitors seeking a polished rooftop setting for an evening in Rome. Its international atmosphere may also appeal to travellers from Mozambique looking for contemporary Italian dining in a central location. The venue also caters for private occasions and organised functions, including celebrations, ceremonies, meetings and business meals, with tailored menus and service arranged around the event.

Lunch is offered on Saturdays and Sundays, while dinner and bar service form the main evening experience. Reservations are available, and advance planning is sensible for guests seeking a particular terrace setting or arranging a private gathering. Hi-Res combines a city-centre location, modern Italian cooking, cocktails and an open-air rooftop atmosphere in one continuous dining experience.
