Villa Doria Restaurant at the Cardinal Hotel is open for lunch from 12pm till 2.30pm and dinner from 6.30pm till 22pm and serves a fine range of Italian and Roman cuisine as well as a plethora of fine wines. The classical Italian dinner begins with a starter - perhaps some cold cuts of ham or salami or a bruschetta or two. Next up is the primo - your carbohydrate supply, in the form of pasta or risotto. Thirdly there’s the main course of meat or fish, with perhaps a contorno - or side dish - of salad or seasonal vegetables.
