Colline Emiliane

Widely considered the best restaurant in Rome for Emilian cuisine — the cooking of the Emilia-Romagna region, which produced tagliatelle al ragù, tortellini in brodo, and mortadella. Female Foodie, romeactually.com, and multiple guides all feature Colline Emiliane for handmade pasta of exemplary quality: tagliatelle alla bolognese that is genuinely superior to anything marketed as bolognese in the tourist centre, tortellini in brodo, and rotating seasonal pasta dishes. Near Piazza Barberini (Via degli Avignonesi). The antipasto delle Colline Emiliane — an array of cheese, cured meats, and spreads — is essential. Book ahead: this tucked-away trattoria fills up fast with Rome's food cognoscenti.
