    Fegato alla veneta con purea - Sliced veal liver with onions
    Simon W.

    Prior to visiting Italy, I had read a review about Colline Emiliane and missed out on making a reservation before arriving. As a result I figured I missed out. By chance I walked by Colline Emiliane while doing my touristy activities visiting the Spanish Steps nearby. I saw the line and met a few friendly tourists waiting on line as walkins. The conversation was great and as a result, ended up waiting with them for what seemed like an eternity to get inside. One thing about Italy is that the food is incredible everywhere and Italians know how to make liver taste extraordinary. A little olive oil, some shallots, liver sliced thinly, seared rare topped with the finest droplets of balsamic vinegar and you have a dish I will never ever turn down. I'm sure the meat was sourced locally and handled properly all the way to my table. The mashed potatoes that accompanied the dish was incredibly rich. A bowl of bolognese was also undeniably yum as well. It is clear that this a family restaurant and they take customer interactions seriously. I was greeted warmly when I arrived and the same upon leaving. In between the service and food was outstanding, Colline Emiliano is a definite visit on any trip to Rome.

    Wow wow wow! Amazing little Italian restaurant down acquaint cobblestone Street. All the pastas are home made by the owners mother so pillowy soft so delicately made so delicious! We had the gnocchi de Zucca . Not salty, warm creamy, soft delicious! The truffle makes the dish. We also ate the meat tortellini. Delicious. The cream sauce was so good we can't cannot wait to come back again! We recommend this restaurant again and again you don't wanna miss it if you're in Rome!

    This spot shifts the regional culinary spotlight from Lazio around Rome to the northerly region of Emilia-Romagna that spreads above Florence between the coasts. Freshness and simplicity reign. Pasta is made with eggs and are fresh, not dried, often stuffed and served with Parmigiana, not Pecorino. Pasta is the star of the show. Opened in 1931 in an unassuming back alley, this place has accommodated the likes of Fellini, Antonioni, Mastroianni and others. We shared antipasti delle colline emiliane, which were fresh and tender examples of varieties of salumi plus unexpected treats like mousse di mortadella. It went nicely with a bottle of 2020 Nero d'Avola red wine and a liter of San Pellegrino acqua frizzante. As main courses, two of us ordered the Ravioli di Zucca in butter/sage sauce and the third took Tagliatelli con porcini, both of them culinary harbingers of autumn. Dessert brought us Mousse di zabaione, Tiramisu con fragioline, and Tarte di fragolini con meringhe, which together created a sweet conclusion to an exquisite meal. Read more at: https://www.painperdutravel.com. At 139 euros for 3, it topped our restaurant expenditures but remained in the moderate range for 3 courses. Service was efficient and unobtrusive and seating was cozy.

    Getting in touch with them to make a reservation was a bit tough but our hotel was able to call and get us situated for our last meal in Italy. Throughout the trip, all we could think about is how much we missed the food from our previous Italy trip, in Tuscany and Milan so Colline Emiliane was a very welcome change of pace. The service was great as was the wine. The food itself was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfect, the fillings and sauces were delicious. The true stars were the ravioli and the truffle gnocchi but in delicate sauces but bursting with flavors. The angolotti was good but there was a bit too much broth. The Tiramisu to finish it off was nice as well! Add this to your list if you can!!

    Colline Emiliane is a must if you're visiting Rome, but be sure to make a reservation. They only have 2 seatings per day. You can try to get lucky if there is a cancellation or people finish early. We made a reservation 2 weeks in advance and got a 9:15pm seating on a Friday night. Pasta was amazing! So fresh and made right there. We have the spinach ravioli and tagliatelle. You honestly can't got wrong with ANY of the pasta there. Our server was a little slow and forgot a few things. Love how casual it is and for being Michelin restaurant. Can't wait to go back!

    Food was delicious, the pasta was the best! The wine that our server recommended paired perfect with our meal. The atmosphere was great, hope to return.

    Called and made a reservation the day prior. Which is soooo necessary. The restaurant is small and after being seated essentially every party that came in after me were told the restaurant was full for lunch and essentially turned away. With that out the way I can understand why this place is so hyped. Probably one of my favorite meals in Rome. I'm not typically a fan of gnocchi because they're usually too dense but I couldn't resist gnocchi and truffles so I just went for it. The gnocchi at this place were little pillows of heaven. So fluffy. So chewy. So light. The way i imagine gnocchi is supposed to be like. Service was top notch. No qualms about it. If you're in Rome and you're able to .. definitely try to add this place to the agenda.

    The restaurant opens at 12:45pm. You need a reservation. They turned a family of three away. We asked at our hotel if they would make a reservation for 1:00pm. Was told the reservation would be called at 12:45pm when they opened. We got there at 1:00pm and they didn't have our name. Informed them that the hotel was to have called. After a few minutes he gave us the table by the front door. Other tables were empty but reserved. Wifey ordered and enjoyed the tagliatelle. I had ravioli with spinach and sausage, all homemade. Very good tasting. I could see a woman cutting the freshly made spaghetti via an enclosed window. My ravioli had different shapes. Pretty cool. Yummy. Ordered a dish of spinach and a bread basket. They never arrived. Two glasses of wine and a nice desert of tiramisu. After a while all the restaurants seem to look the same but it's the taste and enjoyment that's important. Rated this a 4 since we didn't get to enjoy all of the food we ordered. Maybe next time. Still worth the trip but make that reservation day or night. It fills fast.

    fuego fuego ! goodluck getting a reservation. i walked in and luckily the person cancelled so i was able to take their table! i got truffle gnocchi and milk braised veal with mashed potato. it was 10/10 i ate all of it the downside is that it's very small and has like 10 table so there is no way to get a seat and also people keep calling nonstop so all you hear is the telephone ringing to make reservations in advance i would come here again! it's in a random alleyway

    Some of the best pasta we had in Italy. The pumpkin ravioli was the star dish for us. We saw this dish featured in Bloomberg as a pro chef's favorite pasta in Italy, The rum cream dessert with caramelized nuts was ridiculously good . We loved this place so much we went back the next day. You definitely need to call ahead for a reservation.

    All these dishes got rave reviews from the table.

    This tucked away restaurant is amazing and totally worth checking out when you're in Rome. The food was delicious, service informed and efficient and the ambiance made you feel welcome and at home.

When we arrived on a late afternoon, we waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. To start off, we got the Limoncello Spritz (€10) and Aperol Spritz (€10), which were refreshing. For our pasta, we ordered the Fettuccine with Oxtail (€18) and Carbonara (€17). We also wanted to order two more Secondi dishes, but the waiter warned us that the pasta is filling. After we finished the pasta, we did still order the Rabbit (€19) because it wasn't something we usually see on the menu. For the carbonara, the flavor was delicious but not really my favorite pasta shape. It was also quite al dente with a chewy texture. I have to say that the oxtail was spectacular though with its juicy and tender meat sauce. While the rabbit was nice to try once, it was a bit dry with minimal meat. Overall, good spot but nothing worth waiting too long for. Also, I'd stick to the pasta here as it's all handmade. You even see them handrolling them inside. Note that they also charge €2 per person for service fee already.

I also had the berry cheesecake, and it was just as amazing. Light, creamy, not too sweet, and the berry topping tied everything together perfectly. Pure heaven from start to finish. From the food to the experience, this place is a must when you're in Rome. I'd come back again and again without hesitation.

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

    Great first meal in Rome!…read more I loved my artichoke pasta dish with bacon, it was a daily special. The amaretto dessert was delicious! Carbonara was super al dente. Seafood risotto was fresh. Grilled radicchio was like stir fried. Dinner for 3 for 77 euros, impressively busy for a Tuesday night. Friendly staff, easy for English speakers. :)
