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.

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 :)
