• Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo is a big hit here and abroad, but what she and her fiancé adore most about their travels to Italy is the food.
  
  "I go several times a year. Christopher [Ivery], my fiancé, has family there and we go spend time with them whenever we get a chance," she tells PEOPLE, adding they're planning another visit "very soon."
  
  So what's her favorite thing about Italy? "The food. I love the area of Bologna for food. I think it's really special," she said.
  
  Her top-rated ABC series Grey's Anatomy is also a big hit and Italian fans are taken aback when they see Pompeo in real life.
  
  "They're quite surprised to see me there," Pompeo, who turns 38 next month, said at the National Italian American Foundation's 32nd Annual Gala in Washington, D.C. "They just can't believe I'm in Italy. It's sort of out of context for them. They say 'Meredith! Meredith! It's you, Meredith! Oh my God, could it be Meredith?' "
  
  Less surprising is that she's no slouch when it comes to cooking Italian. Her fiancé loves her Bolognese sauce, she says of the dish that pays tribute to her favorite region.
  
  Pompeo doesn't seem to be in a rush to get married despite having been engaged nearly a year. She still hasn't started on the plans, but has thought about the kind of wedding she wants – "a quiet, simple, private one."
  
  Other honorees at Saturday's NIAF gala, where Pompeo received group's Special Award in Entertainment, were director Martin Scorsese, actress Connie Stevens, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Rudy Giuliani, and AARP chief William Novelli.

YouTube: Ellen Pompeo's speech for winning Best ensemble cast award

ELLEN POMPEO: We love this category more than you know. We’re honored to be in the company of all the fellow nominees, so inspiring. And I think because this category is ensemble, it’s worth mentioning the members of our cast that are not here.

Kate Walsh who plays Ellis – Kate Burton who plays Ellis Grey… yeah, I know, Kate Walsh is here, just behind me. Help me… Isaiah Washington… I’m drawing a blank, please help me… Loretta Devine, our wonderful, wonderful guest cast who is nice enough to come on every week and really contribute to the show. Diahann Carroll, Christina Ricci, all the wonderful people who come on and make this show what it is. It’s so much more than just us, and we appreciate everybody’s efforts.
