It is a large restaurant and was full of lively patrons. The indoor decor is warm and inviting. The first thing I noticed was the camaraderie between the waitstaff - everyone seemed to get along, helped each other and were having fun. We had 2 wonderful Filipino waiters. One had the same Ray-Ban meta glasses as my husband, which they bonded over. We ordered the bombolotti carbonara and lasagna-both delicious. For the mains, grilled Turbot (which was perfectly de-boned tableside) and meatballs w/ mashed potatoes. While the waiter was de-boning the fish, the song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver came on overhead. My husband and I both looked at each other and smiled, thinking WTH?! I asked the waiter, "did we tell you we were from West Virginia?" and he smiled and shook his head. But later confessed, he played it for us (I guess we did tell him, lol). It made our night. Rome was the last city in our multi-city 12 day tour and we loved every minute but we were looking forward to going home. Hearing "Country Roads" at a popular and busy restaurant a block away from the Spanish Steps blew our minds. A young couple sat next to us for a quick snack, I asked her what she ordered (it looked delicious) and she said "Im from a different part of Italy but come here just for their artichokes". A few minutes later, I saw a plate full of artichokes pass by, being brought to a table outside. They made my mouth water. Al 34 was one of our favorite restaurants in Italy -- wonderful food (extensive menu), very lively with a mixed crowd (lots of Asians, English speakers and native Italians). It is a fun place to go and the wait staff is one of the reasons I will be coming back. I cant wait to try their artichokes! If you see the word, carciofo (artichoke), order it!

VERY WEIRD THAT THEY PICKED FOR US. extremely rude staff. the bill came and it was hand written and in scribbles, we could barley read anything. they didn't write anything by itself either and grouped everything together for some reason. i wanted to make sure they didn't charge us 22 each for the pasta WE DID NOT GET but there was no way. after reading other reviews, it seems they have tried to scam other people with the written bill and they DO have printed ones. wish we would've known this as the pasta they gave us was way cheaper than the one we ordered.

We ordered two Aperol Spritz and a Divola pizza. We asked how big the pizza was and the server made it seem somewhat small. The server seemed pushy and annoyed we did not order more food. The pizza was not great, the crust was too thick and doughy. The salami was not spicy for a Divola and was disappointing. I would not recommend this establishment.

When I found out we were visiting Roma this summer I remembered Fettuccini Alfredo was invented…read morehere! I immediately added trying the restaurant where it originated on my bucket list. I am sad to say ... it's the worst thing I've crossed off my bucket list. I know that Fettuccini Alfredo is made different than in the states... which I thought would be a plus. Pasta, butter, and cheese... sounds perfect! Sadly I left super underwhelmed. The dish lacked flavor of any kind and I even added truffles! How could this be?! The staff all seemed very new so I'll give them to benefit of the doubt on a few blunders we experienced. Overall I'm glad I can say I have tried the location of origin now, but that's pretty much the only reason I can see for visiting this restaurant. I take that back, their sommelier was great! He recommended the perfect champagne for us. Other than that if you're short on meals save your tummy for somewhere else.

I'm still dreaming about Colline Emiliane. Definitely the best pasta that we had in Italy…read more 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.
