Tucked inside the Hotel at Auburn University, Ariccia is always the place to go.

Ariccia is an ancient town in the “Castelli Romani” region of Italy about 17 miles southeast of Rome. It is home to the famous Palazzo Chigi, which was reconstructed in the late 17th century by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, an acclaimed Italian architect, sculptor and painter. The nearby “Castel Gandolfo” has been the Pope’s summer residence since the 12th century. The international campus of Auburn University, College of Human Sciences, is located in Ariccia, Italy, and is the inspiration for the restaurant's name.
