La Locanda In Roma

19/06/2025: ...se si considera la pendenza della via! Abbiamo chiamato per prenotare e la prima disponibilità era il 26 giugno. Allora ci siamo passati e la fortuna ci ha assistito: complice una disdetta, ci siamo seduti nel tavolino accanto all'entrata. Locale piccolo ma ben strutturato. Tavoli troppo vicini e un po' di rumore. Titolare affabile e personale che lo segue per educazione e simpatia. Menù sintetico ma che racchiude tutti i piaceri di una delle mie cucine preferite. Piatti ottimi e ben serviti; porzioni modeste sia per la tradizione emiliana che rispetto alla concorrente cucina romana. Prezzo equo ed esperienza che consiglio e che ripeterò presto.

29/05/2025: I'm still dreaming about Colline Emiliane. Definitely the best pasta that we had in Italy. After a long day exploring Rome, I pretty much wore my entire family out. That is everyone except for my sister-in-law. When she suggested this Michelin Star restaurant near our hotel, it was a definite yes for me. Colline Emiliane opens at 7:30. We waited in line at 7:10 and enjoyed watching the pasta being made through the window. At around 7:20, Luca, one of the family owners, came to bring in everyone who had a reservation. That filled all of the restaurant's tables except for five tables for two. Then the waiting game came into play where we hoped that a few people who made reservations did not show. Luca counted and let everyone who was past the table five mark know that the odds were not in their favor. We were at the table three mark, so we still had a chance. Two couples finally showed up, but the odds were ever in our favor, and we got the last table for two right next to Luca. A nice bonus! This was the best dinner that we had in Italy! The service was amazing. We never felt rushed. Started with the artichoke heart side as an appetizer. Delicious. Next course, pasta! I had the gnocchi di zucca con crema di parmigiano e tartufo nero. Pillowy, light and airy freshly homemade pumpkin gnocchi topped with parmesan cream and finished with generous shavings of black truffle. I thought that I died and went to heaven, it was so good. My sister-in-law had the tortelloni ricotta e spinaci. Homemade ravioli stuffed with ricotta and spinach with butter and sage. Amazing. Luca let us know that the pasta is made daily by his family. His mom and aunts all come together in the pasta kitchen to make the magic happen. Tradition, family, quality and artisanship. The pastries are also all homemade by the family. We capped the night with a pastry with the tiniest strawberries. Such a great way to finish a nice relaxing meal. Dinner happens at 7:30 and 9:15. Definitely make a reservation, if possible. We were so lucky to score the last table. Grazie Mille, Luca!!! Our dinner at Colline Emiliane was a highlight of our trip to Italy.
