“Lo Zio d’America” reinvents itself in Rome with a custom kitchen by Silko

There’s a corner of Rome where tradition meets innovation, and where the authentic flavor of a story that began in the 1970s evolves into a refined and modern experience. Lo Zio d’America, a long-standing culinary landmark in the Talenti neighborhood, has opened the doors of its new venue in the heart of San Giovanni—bringing with it a legacy of hospitality, quality, and a renewed desire to impress.

This new gourmet risto-caffè, designed to accompany guests from breakfast to aperitivo, places the kitchen at the center of the experience. And it is here that Silko steps in, with a bespoke project crafted to support a passionate and ambitious team.

At the core of the layout, a monobloc central island serves as the beating heart of the kitchen, perfect for preparing traditional Lazio dishes with style and efficiency. Around it, every element is designed to optimize the workflow and elevate performance:

• combi ovens,

• high-efficiency fryers and a dedicated grill for meat and fish,

• blast chillers for ideal ingredient preservation,

• sustainable technologies that minimize energy consumption without compromising results.

The outcome is a high-performance professional kitchen, seamlessly integrated into the space, and capable of enhancing the pace and creativity of everyday work. More than a workspace—it’s a true creative partner.

Silko is proud to be part of this new chapter in the story of Lo Zio d’America—a place where culinary heritage becomes inspiration for the future.
