I didn&rsquo;t eat at the hotel. I ate at a trattoria in Trastevere where a woman named Maria served cacio e pepe in a bowl the size of my head and charged me the equivalent of four dollars. I went back three more times that week. On the last night she brought me a glass of limoncello without my asking and patted my hand. That was my introduction to Italy, and nothing since has contradicted it.</p>
