Locanda il Girasole: a welcoming restaurant-pizzeria that combines a passion for quality cuisine with social and work inclusion
Archival content: this article was published more than 20 years ago. The language and content reflect the sensitivities of the time.

A little over a year ago, a new restaurant and pizzeria opened on Via dei Sulpici 117 in Rome: "La Locanda dei Girasoli" (The Sunflower Inn). It's closed Mondays and open every evening (for updates on opening days and hours, visit the website, ed. note).

Equipped with a wood-fired oven, three dining rooms, and outdoor seating for the summer months, the restaurant serves flavorful, carefully prepared food at reasonable prices. It's perfect for hosting small or large groups for a memorable evening.

We warmly invite everyone in the area and beyond to visit this new spot. You'll be welcomed and served by Claudio, Emanuela, Viviana, and Valerio—four young people with Down syndrome who, along with three other staff members, run the inn.

Spread the word and go meet them. These "Sunflowers," proud and hopeful, have organized themselves as a cooperative with family members and friends. They still have much work ahead before the business reaches full financial sustainability.
