After reading your mouth watering post I told my baby brother to head there as he was in Rome at the time. He enjoyed the food and wine and end up hanging out with Ada and Alfredo’s son and his cousins for the evening and had a ball. Thanks for a great recommendation!

@Lorraine – It’s fantastic not having to linger over the menu, trust me!
@PeterG – Isn’t (hard) al dente pasta the best? I can’t believe how great it tastes to leave it a little undercooked.
@Reemski – I’m not a big biscuit eater, but there’s no way I could refuse! I’m glad I didn’t.
@Howard – It seems natural doesn’t it? I mean, you don’t choose what your Mum cooks, she just does it!
@Lisa – Please go there, you won’t regret it!
@Jen – Yes, add it to your list, you’ll love it!
@Ju’eta – I’m sure Dillon will tell you all about that chicken :)
@Arwen – So true! It’s amazing how three ingredients can sing together, very inspiring.
@Joumana – Hehe! I know, they eat so much and stay pretty slim. It’s sad for the rest of us ;)

It’s a great idea having the cook choose the menu. That way it would never get boring. It’s brilliant that such a simple pasta can taste so good!

I love menu-less places! You know that the food will always be knee-weakening. That chicken looked so yum that I was salivating.

I love hearing about your trip and this sounds like a lovely find! Nothing can quite beat a little bit of suspense especially when you know you’re getting Nonna’s best. I’m adding this to my to-eat list for my trip to Italy! :)

Hey, great tip! Thanks–might be in Italy next spring, and if I do, I’ll be taking this post with me so I don’t miss the choicest morsels in Rome!

I love the idea of just eating whatever the nonna feels like cooking! That way you prob get something new everytime you visit, awesome.

Not a huge drinker, but homemade wine? with homemade biscotti? in Rome? Yes please!

I agree with Lorraine…these are the best types of places to indulge Christie…I loved everything you ate! And I love my pasta extra al dente!

What a meal and just what you want your meals in Rome to be! Looks like you’ve discovered a real gem :) And there’s something quite appealing about a place that has no menu and a chef that cooks whatever she feels like cooking!
