Pasta alla Gricia or Griscia? Let's Find Out Why the Double Name

By: Giulia Ubaldi

Almost everyone knows it in relation to the amatriciana, as its "white" version, or like the cacio e pepe with the addition of the guanciale. But in reality, the griscia, referred to as gricia, is the original version and the oldest one, which was created and takes its name from Grisciano. 

Grisciano is a small village of Accumuli in the province of Rieti, on the border with the Marche region, where there is only one restaurant that prepares it: La Vecchia Ruota. It’s the only place, but also the best place to try an original and truly unforgettable gricia, even though some variations created over time exist such as those proposed by young chef Remo Fiscina.
