Real, simple, delicious food in Rome
Marigold is located in Rome, Italy and the dream-child of chef Domenico Cortese and baker Sofie Wochner. It's a space where they create and share their passion for real, simple, delicious food.
Our kitchen uses organic, seasonal ingredients that we source from small businesses in Italy or forage from Rome's backyard. Our bread is naturally leavened, and we pour only natural Italian wines.

Micro bakery
The counter, every morning
Each morning the counter is filled with freshly baked loaves of sourdough and rye bread as well as sweets, including Sofie’s now-famous cinnamon swirls, morning buns, and an assortment of cakes, cookies and seasonal pastries.
Buttermilk pancakes are made with the buttermilk left over from the production of our housemade butter. Nothing goes to waste.
Chicchi by Marigold
Specialty coffee, roasted the way we like
We serve our own specialty coffee, Chicchi by Marigold, using green coffee beans we select from small, responsible farmers. Single origins from Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, Costa Rica, Rwanda and more — for espresso and filter.
