Rosaria Montaldo, a proud grandmother of two, has been cooking at Enoteca Maria since June of 2008. She was born in the region of Abruzzo in a small town in the province of Chieti. The region is known for its agriculture and producing wine, cereals, sugar beets, potatoes, olives, vegetables, fruits and dairy products. Traditional products are saffron and liquorice.
Rosaria remembers her grandmother’s cooking well, since she grew up living in the same house. Lamb is a popular dish in the Abruzzo region and Rosaria enjoys preparing Costolette d’Agnello all Griglia—grilled lamb chops. Her favorite pasta dish is Maccheroni alla Chitarra—macaroni pasta made on a guitar-like instrument—another staple of Abruzzese cooking.

Ciao Rosaria!
complimenti per aver portato queste ricette abruzzesi in USA! Io sono di Bologna ma mio padre e’ di Tollo, e mia madre di Ferrara ha imparato a fare gli spaghetti alla chitarra e le sagne coi faso’.
Un saluto da Bologna!

Hi,
I have to say that this brings back when my mother, Maria, used to make the same dish and it was delicious. I could not enough of it.
Every time it was better than the last.
I have to make time to come and dine at your restaurant and enjoy.
I have good expectations!
By the way, my wife’s name is Rosaria and she is from Sicily.
Ci vediamo presto!!
Franco
