Restaurant Doney
Rinata, buona come il pane  The Westin Excelsior Rome proudly introduces an ancestral and sustainable beer crafted from recycled bread, created by the esteemed Birrificio Alta Quota in Cittareale, Rieti. Starting from September 25th, Café Doney will offer the Rinata beer, paired with a sustainable aperitivo designed by Executive Chef James Foglieni with home-made focaccia, locally sourced cheese with honey, and prosciutto crudo at 10 euros per person. The beer revives an ancient recipe, reimagined to combat bread waste, inspired by the original brewing methods of the Sumerians over 6,000 years ago. By recycling stale bread and blending it with barley malt, a natural and circular fermentation process was set in motion, producing beer—an alcoholic beverage with a pleasantly bitter taste.
  • RINATA as the second life of bread
  • RINATA as hope and optimism
  • RINATA as simple, natural, and mindful
  • RINATA as good as bread
