Prati is our hood in Rome, and we were craving pizza after several days of pasta upon pasta. La Pratolina is a Prati stalwart and was filled with an eclectic group of people on a Friday night in February. The expansive rooms were filled with locals of all ages and all persuasions. Interestingly, not once did I feel old, or was I treated any differently because of my age, during ten days in Rome. That does not happen in the United States.
La Pratolina serves an Ancient Rome inspired pizza called Pinsa. It’s hand-stretched into an oval shape, using a mix of soy, rice, and wheat flour with a high water content, resulting in a crust that is very light, airy inside, and crispy on the outside. We found our two pizzas unique and delicious.
Packed at 10:30 at night, the staff had to be efficient and ran around, working hard, serving people in the several rooms and outside. They didn’t have time to gab until close to closing, and then our female server was very charming answering my questions with aplomb.
La Pratolina has great pizza and reasonable prices. It’s as authentic as anything you’ll find in Italy. I love Prati, and La Pratolina represents its hood well.
