Waitress ran us down outside after I left thinking we had overpaid because I had given her a €10 tip. I hope it wasn't insulting but she truly deserved it. She had limited English skills, still far better than my Italian, but was patient with us and curated the best restaurant meal of my life. Unless you have a lot of issues with seafood, come here without inhibition and eat whatever they serve you. You're in good hands.

Excellent seafood in an authentic restaurant. Tables are out in the Via, under umbrellas.

On a late evening, we were searching for a good restaurant in the cute town of Frascati. With our…read morebroken Italian, we asked a couple of Italian guys to recommend a good one and Ara Anua is the one that they recommended as the best in Frascati. We had no reservations, but we were seated as soon as we arrived. I loved the decor as I entered; looked very cozy and rustic in a classy way. I don't remember what we exactly ordered, but I think it was some kind of ravioli. Turned out to be delicious. And we stopped off our meal with Tiramisu, the REAL tiramisu. Definitely very different from the Tiramisu that we get in the US. It was creamy, but not very heavy like how it is in the US. Ohh, it was just a perfect way to finish the meal.

Fare is designed to be served in traditional courses, so be careful and skip pasta or meat course. Antipasti sampler not to be skipped and feeds two easily. Great wines at reasonable prices. Wine, beer, three courses for two at just over 100 Euro. A good deal for food and service of this caliber.

Came here on a beautiful day to grab some drinks and sit outside. The person at the bar recognized…read morethat we are Americans and was able to speak English, thankfully. We ordered two glasses of wine that totaled 7 euro's, so we gave the guy 50 euros and he shorted us 20. Thankfully my boyfriend immediately realized, brought this to the attention of the bartender, and the guy gave us the extra 20. Normally I would think this is a honest mistake, but I still wanted to post a review for any other foreigners that come here so they can be on high alert. As far as the wine, it didn't really taste good and the restaurant itself was pretty dark and uninviting. Nothing memorable about this place, so I would recommend going somewhere else if you're looking for an actual taste of Italy.

We ordered a salad for the table and 3 different pasta dishes which were the Rigatoni all Amatriciana, the Rigatoni all Boscaiola and Linguini with Cheese and Black Pepper. The meal came with bread too. The food was hot, tasted good and was not too expensive. We like this place.

Just a huge slab of steak but grilled to perfection. Get a table close to the kitchen and you can watch eveything being prepared by the very friendly and welcoming staff. This is in my view the best place to eat in Grottaferrata. Even if you're visiting Frascati 2km away, put this place on your must do list. Tell them Adam sent you. In fact I'll probably be there anyway :)

Delicious, studied dishes, eye - catching color compositions, careful selection of ingredients, all tasty and digestible, my stomach is happy. The workers are always smiling, friendly and quick.

Sono romana, nata a Roma, li ho visti crescere, arrivata in zona nel 2013, prima erano una piccola pizzeria, oggi sono una grande pizzeria e tavola calda. Piatti buonissimi, studiati, composizioni di colori che colpiscono l' occhio, scelta degli ingredienti accurata, tutto gustoso e digeribile. I ragazzi sono sempre sorridenti, cordiali e veloci. La signora in cucina poi, ti crea dei piatti cucinati e serviti, da leccarsi i baffi. Raccomando la cacio e pepe, la pizza tutta, i primi, i secondi, i fritti ... insomma tutto :D :) 5 stelle, sono ormai una loro cliente fissa :) Grazie mille ! Raccomandato !
