Ravioli
Ravioli are little pockets of heaven on a plate that explode in your mouth. The dish is one of the many sumptuous pasta dishes in the roster of Italian cuisine. However, ravioli is not well known to the general public like spaghetti or lasagna. Even so, this pasta dish can hold its own among them. One of the best things about ravioli is the countless number of fillings you can seal into the pasta. The creamy topping makes it even richer.
You can order ravioli filled with truffles and Buracca cheese or how about a hearty duck ravioli. Then again, a classic filling of ricotta with spinach is a must. Likewise, go for pesto. The choices are endless and limited only by your imagination and appetite. |

Recommended Places to Eat
Colline Emiliane |
Colline Emiliane is one of the most popular restaurants in Rome that lives up to its hype. This white table cloth restaurant boasts of the finest cuisine from the region of Emilia - a place endowed with gastronomic goodness including parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar and truffles. Owned by the Latini family since 1960, the place is also popular for the warm - almost at-home - treatment the staff and the owners give to their patrons. The place smells like Italy - heavy on the cheese and the herbs but very hypnotizing. Waiters politely serve you some of the most iconic Roman dishes such as roasted beef, veal and mashed potatoes, ravioli, and home made pasta dishes. Don't skip on the sweets - the walnut tart and the caramelized hazelnut are to die for.
