Ciao ! I am Luigi Tondinelli, aka "GIGGI," the enigmatic owner of Trattoria Vaticano Giggi. I was born in Rome and my great passions are contemporary art, cooking, the cinema and the "Maggica Rome" (the football team of the city of Rome).
I come from a dynasty of Romans, born on the island of Tiberina and have succeeded in realizing my dream of devoting myself to providing unique and authentic Italian cuisine. I have ‘passione in cucina’ and will only serve you fresh and seasonal local produce. In my words ‘prodotti scelti con cura,’ ( carefully chosen ingredients).
You will find my restaurant "TRATTORIA VATICANO" in the shade of St. Peter’s Church, nicknamed ‘Cuppolone’ where my daughter Floriana and I welcome friends and clients from around the world. Come and visit us for ‘piatti tipici Romani’
Buon appetito!
Giggi's life is inextricably intertwined with the history of Italian cinema and he has participated in many films such as:
