Fredericksburg’s new Italian spot feels like Rome

Imagine grabbing a glass of wine from a garden shelf, lingering under string lights, and sharing handmade pasta at a long communal table—right in Fredericksburg. Valerio Lombardozzi, who’s worked in some of the world’s top kitchens, is opening Bottega Salaria, a Roman-style osteria and market, in the Hill Country. This isn’t just another Italian restaurant: it’s a slice of Lombardozzi’s own family history, with classic Roman dishes, fresh pasta to take home, and even a game of dice to decide your Negroni. Locals and visitors alike—how do you feel about Fredericksburg getting this kind of gathering place? #Food #FredericksburgEats #ItalianFood
