A century-long tradition

The restaurant Maria Grazia in Nerano, inventor of the famous spaghetti alla Nerano, was founded in 1901, taking its name from the founder, mother of the famous Donna Rosa and grandmother of Lello and Andrea, who are still tireless and omnipresent in the kitchen.

In reality, the history of the restaurant Maria Grazia’s roots go back as far as the Middle Ages, to the time of the Maritime Republics, when the beach at Marina del Cantone, in Nerano, was a landing place for sailors and a prey for pirates, attracted by the wealth of the area.

At that time, Nerano was a little village inhabited mainly by fishermen, who indulged in snacks under the chapel overlooking the beach, just where now there is the restaurant.
