The Chalice and the Star wins the Lazio Region Genius Loci Special Award
“Trattoria. We are in the homeland of hay, aka macaroni canepinesi, a typical dish of this municipality. Felice Arletti, the innkeeper, smiles when he calls it "the fourth secret of Fatima", in reality it is a very fine tagliolino cut by hand by the women of the village which the local Fanello pasta factory also produces in an artisanal way with automated cutting and of which Felice has put a modern hemp version has been developed: excellent, as well as with the traditional ragù, with chopped white meat and offered in different versions alongside the other traditional pasta, ceciliani. Felice's restaurant is a modern tavern, so even the menu is contaminated by it: traditional proposals are placed side by side or reinterpretations of ancient preparations such as rocchio (sausage) with pancotto. Pleasant environment, discreet choice of wines, easy service with the added value of a narration of the dishes and the history of the town of which Felice is a passionate singer.”
