A Shared Story Between Auburn and Italy

Ariccia Cucina Italiana is more than a restaurant—it is the culinary expression of Auburn University’s enduring relationship with Ariccia, Italy, a historic hill town just outside Rome. Opened in 2001 in partnership with Auburn and its sister campus in Ariccia, the restaurant brings this cultural exchange home, allowing guests to experience a place that generations of Auburn students and faculty have come to know firsthand. Dining here feels like stepping into that story—where academic ties, tradition, and hospitality converge.

Italian Traditions, Thoughtfully Served

Rooted in central Italian cuisine, Ariccia reflects the rhythms of Italian life through seasonal ingredients, timehonored preparations, and regional specialties. Signature dishes like porchetta, housemade focaccia, fresh pasta, and woodfired pizzas echo the flavors of Lazio, prepared with restraint and respect for the ingredients. An expansive wine cellar further completes the experience, honoring Italy’s belief that food and wine are inseparable parts of the table and the moment.

An Experience That Invites You to Linger

Led by Executive Chef Dustin Whitfield, Ariccia balances authenticity with refinement, offering a setting designed for gathering, conversation, and unhurried enjoyment. Gardeninspired patios, candlelit interiors, and openkitchen energy reflect the warmth of an Italian piazza—reimagined in Auburn. For hotel guests, Ariccia is both a destination and a bridge: a place where Auburn’s sense of community meets the enduring spirit of Italy.
