There is a wonderful place less than 5 minutes away, down the hill, called Da Ferro. It is the really simple “scruffy” as Lorenzo calls it, trattoria. They specialize in tordelli- a meat stuffed pasta with meat sauce. I have tried to volunteer in the kitchen numerous times. We are friendly with the owners so Lorenzo always asks when I can start work. They always have an excuse- “now it is too busy” then the next time “now it is too slow, wait until it is busy and we need more help” But we know what’s really going on- they don’t want me to get a hold of the recipe! I must say, it is worth protecting, the pasta is delicious!

Below is some information on the area that we are located. Generally our guests visit the more well known surrounding areas, but as you can see form this link there is much to see right outside the villa gates!
