You can walk down there and really get to feel where you are by just looking around. You're in a freaking underground wine cellar in a small town on the outskirts of Rome. For you grammar police, castle gandolfo is actually still considered rome. The wine was great. The decor throughout was very unique and cool. If you are around here, go. Don't miss this one.

It took them 45 minutes to bring out our food which was two pasta dishes and a rabbit dish. It's a quaint little place that you gotta take the time to sip a glass of wine to appreciate. If you are in a hurry don't go there. Food is OK. I think they are better options in Rome. The wasps and pigeons can be annoying if you are sitting outside.

Small shop on the side of the road, across from the main square in Ariccia. This is a traditional sit down restaurant serving (what seems to be) some pretty good Italian dishes. I just stopped by the counter (time to brush up that Italian) and ordered a panino a porchetta i uno bottiglia di aqua frisante. Can go wrong - pork sandwich and cold sparkling water.
