Alfredo e Ada
$-$$, Italian, Vatican
Fodor's Review:
There's no place like home, and you'll feel like you're back there from the moment you squeeze into a table at this hole-in-the-wall just across the river from Castel Sant'Angelo. There's no menu, just plate after plate of whatever the owners think you should try, from hearty, classic pastas to involtini di vitello (savory veal rolls with tomato) and homemade sausage. Everything seems to contain meat and/or tomatoes, but that was the way Romans ate back in the good old days -- in the 1940s, actually, when the trattoria opened. Sit back, relax, and let Ada regale you with stories of old, and allow her to spoil you like only a real nonna (grandmother) would, plying you with cookies and wine until you feel you might burst.

she's still there...

Fortunately, the last poster was totally wrong. Ada is still there, and still cooking. The only change is that she's opening evenings only now, due to her age. Closed on sundays.
