Sit inside the 18th-century villa or on the terrace of the restaurant on the Castello di Ama wine estate to enjoy rustic dishes featuring vegetables grown in the estate's kitchen garden (opt for an antipasto plate or bowl of pasta). In the afternoon, the terrace is a lovely spot to enjoy a glass or two of the estate's wine.
