L'inaugurazione del primo Nobu Hotel & Restaurant d'Italia, lo scorso 6 novembre a Roma, ha riacceso la Dolce Vita in via Veneto. Protagonista assoluto Robert de Niro, fondatore del marchio insieme allo chef Nobu Matsuhisa e il produttore cinematografico Meir Teper. Al Corriere raccontano in esclusiva l'avventura romana, tra i ricordi dell'attore americano di una Hollywood sul Tevere oramai lontana, le ricette del guru della cucina fusion in chiave nostrana - «Qui faccio la mia famosa dry miso salad ma con le vostre puntarelle» - e i desideri di espansione annunciate da Teper, che ha annunciato: «Chissà, magari Firenze potrebbe essere la prossima location». Infine Trevor Horwell, ceo di Nobu Hospitality, che ha detto: «Ci auguriamo che i romani amino soprattutto il nostro ristorante e ci aspettiamo che i tanti clienti Nobu nel mondo vengano a Roma e scelgano il nostro albergo». Di certo il nuovo indirizzo ha già riproiettato con forza la strada di Fellini sulla mappa del turismo di lusso. E De Niro confessa: «Quando venni per la prima volta in Italia avevo 18 anni, passeggiavo per via Veneto da giovane turista. Mai avrei potuto immaginare, un giorno, di aprire qui un mio albergo. Invece credo non ci sia posto migliore per Nobu a Roma».

00:12When I first came here it was all
00:14very new to me
00:16and special and so on.
00:18I hitchhiked through Italy when I was
00:2018, 19
00:22and
00:24a totally different experience than today.
00:26I'd be on the Via Veneto
00:28and as a tourist
00:30kid
00:32who would have thought that now we have a
00:34Nobu here on the Via Veneto.
00:36And there's
00:38the romance of the
00:40when they used to call, when they would shoot a movie
00:42they called it Hollywood on the
00:44Tiber. There was a period in the
00:46mid late 50's I think early 60's
00:48maybe early long somewhere
00:50around there that they had
00:52movies being done here
00:54and that added
00:56to the glamour shop.
00:58Fellini and the other Italian
01:00directors.
01:02Italy is very interesting
01:04to me
01:06because
01:08kind of the concept is the same.
01:10Quality, simple,
01:12clean, and
01:14tasty.
01:16Sometimes complicated food
01:18cannot eat everyday.
01:20But my food
01:22like Italian food
01:24is very simple.
01:26So that's why
01:27finally
01:28we have a restaurant here
01:29and it's so much
01:30exciting to
01:31come back again.
01:32I like to see
01:33more Italian ingredients.
01:35You know
01:36Puntarele?
01:37But I do
01:38Puntarele
01:39with a dry miso salad.
01:41So already
01:42we create
01:43one dish
01:44in the room
01:45like my dry miso salad.
01:47so I like
01:48to see
01:49more
01:50Italian
01:51ingredients
01:52local
01:53ingredients
01:54use
01:55as much
01:56possible.
01:57For us we like to
01:58attract the locals
01:59into the hotel
02:00and that is our
02:01cool
02:02customer
02:03for the F&B
02:05and then
02:06actually
02:07we have customers
02:08staying in the hotel
02:09which are
02:10international customers.
02:11We have
02:12customers that are
02:13domestic
02:14and
02:15we have a sizable
02:16number of customers
02:17around the world
02:18so we expect them
02:19to be
02:20coming to Rome
02:21and staying here.
02:22We have a restaurant
02:23in Milan
02:24with
02:25Giorgio Armani
02:26that is
02:28I think
02:2926 years
02:30it's open
02:31it's doing
02:32very well
02:33it's doing better
02:34than ever.
02:35Here we are looking
02:36if there is an opportunity
02:37you know
02:38maybe Florence
02:39could be another city.
02:41I think
02:42it makes sense
02:43that it would be here
02:44on the Viavenna
02:45though
02:46if it was to be
02:47in Rome.
02:48I can't imagine
02:49other places
02:50it was meant to be
02:51on the Viavenna.
