You ring the front door bell promptly at 7:30pm (1pm for lunch) and a member of the lay sisterhood that runs this religious hospice appears to accompany you down to the basement refectory, three small rooms neatly laid out with sturdy pine furnishings.

The set-price meal is cheap (€13), filling, and served course-by-course, family-style. It's nothing fancy; This is comfort food all'Italiana—rich vegetable noodle soup or fusilli in ragù, pork chops sided with boiled potatoes and roast eggplant, a salad, and fresh fruit.

With the smiling sisters trooping out course after course, it starts feeling like a holiday meal with the extended family. Reservations are required.
