I am trying hard to learn Italian. After two years at night school and working through 16 Linguaphone CDs (extremely useful) I can read simple Italian and say simple phrases and sometimes whole sentences very slowly.

Thank you to Noelle, Gala Placidia, Passiflora and Santamarinese for these full and helpful ideas, you have all made really useful remarks. I will follow them up.

I have only just seen this post and I am probably three months too late to be helpul. We have stayed at Albergo Roma six or seven times in the last year or so and always enjoyed the food which is exceptional value even if the service can be a little quirky sometimes. As well as the other restaurants a bit more up-market from Roma, already mentioned in previous posts, there is also Villa Montotto. This is a couple of miles out of Petritoli on the way to Monterubbiano in the very small hamlet of Montotto. After the several courses of antipasto you may not even need a primo piatto nevermind a secondo! We have also had good meals in Osteria Pazzi in the centre of Monterubbiano. If you get the chance, try the Tagliatelli Fritte; invented by one of the osteria's previous owners.
