The Verdict
VECCHIA ROMA has been operating on Piazza Campitelli since 1925 - the Roman-Jewish restaurant whose outdoor terrace on the medieval piazza communicates a specific historical depth available only in the neighbourhood that has been the centre of the Roman Jewish community's continuous presence since antiquity. The Roman-Jewish cooking whose carciofi alla giudia and specific preparations communicate the accumulated knowledge of the tradition; the outdoor terrace whose Campitelli setting communicates the medieval piazza whose campanile and Santa Maria in Campitelli church facade create the most specifically medieval available Roman neighbourhood outdoor dining backdrop; and the Jewish Ghetto neighbourhood character that communicates the specific historical weight of the community whose presence in this district predates the Christian era.
The Roman-Jewish menu at Vecchia Roma reflects the tradition applied through the historic piazza setting: the carciofi alla giudia and specific Roman-Jewish preparations whose quality communicates genuine knowledge of the tradition; the Roman secondi and pasta whose execution communicates the accumulated knowledge of the Roman culinary calendar; and the specific outdoor Campitelli setting whose medieval architectural backdrop creates the most historically resonant available neighbourhood restaurant terrace in the ancient city.
Since 1925 on Piazza Campitelli - the Roman-Jewish institution whose outdoor terrace in the medieval piazza communicates what the Jewish Ghetto neighbourhood looks like when its most enduring available neighbourhood restaurant has been practising the culinary tradition in the shadow of the medieval campanile for a century.
Why It Works for a Proposal
Vecchia Roma's Piazza Campitelli outdoor terrace and the medieval campanile backdrop - the 1925 institution, the Roman-Jewish culinary heritage, the most specifically medieval available Roman neighbourhood piazza setting - creates the proposal setting that communicates both the most historically resonant available Jewish Ghetto neighbourhood dining context and the most dramatically medieval available Roman outdoor dinner backdrop.
