Incantato restaurant: Ar Montarozzo, Rome - Friday, April 1, 2011

 The Mater Dei High School Performance Tour will sample some traditional Italian fare as they enjoy dinner at Rome’s Ar Montarozzo Restaurant on Friday, April 1, 2011. The Ar Montarozza is located on the Via Appia Antica, one of Rome’s earliest and most strategic roads, constructed in 312 BC as a military access road during the Samnite Wars. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the road fell into despair but was eventually ordered restored by Pope Pius VI and underwent extensive restoration during Rome’s Millennium and Great Jubilee celebrations. The area is now a popular free tourist attraction. The Ar Montarozzo is owned and operated by Chef Gabriele Graziani Calmieri along with his sons and located within an 18th century former post house and inn. The restaurant offers a variety of traditional Italian cuisine and local Mediterranean specialties, including fettuccini, calamari, shrimp risotto, hand-carved prosciutto, ravioli, and hand-made pizza, in addition to an extensive dessert menu.
