Italy
Rome
Pasta made the way nonna intended.
A note from the editor
Did you know Rome is Europe’s second most visited city, after Paris? With over 15 million visitors a year, some businesses near the landmarks know how to lure undiscerning tourists. But my local insiders led me to mom & pop spots tucked behind small alleys, where nonnas roll the pasta, or their next generation carries on the tradition, family-style.
