My new, absolute favorite place in Rome! I was starving at about 6 walking around, went back to my BnB to use the wifi to check yelp for some nice eateries when I stumble across a few. Being a 23 y/o foreign girl it's so awkward to roam around rome looking for a place to eat by yourself. I had seen this place as an option but another restaurant had a better rating with more reviews... When it came time to venture out, I checked out the #1 recommendation and it was already packed so I swiftly walked on by.
I got to the patio of Pro Loco Pinciano and I couldn't help but think, "How absolutely charming!" And of course, like the tourist in me, I snapped a few photos of the outdoor patio and bodega-like entrance. Waltzed in and voila! a table for one. The second the hostess and my waitress realized I was American they spoke in English to assist me further. Such smiling, knowledgable staff. I felt the most comfortable there on my own than any other place I'd been over the course of my two week stay in the city.
My waitress was so helpful, as I tend to be indecisive, and I enjoyed every single taste. The food was dreamy. I started with a light and salty fried fish appetizer, carried on with a spinach and ricotta ravioli lightly covered in butter and sage and finished with a sweet sfoglia -a cookie, pastry-like, dessert- all the while enjoying my buttery white wine that she also recommended!
If you're visiting or just looking for someplace new, I highly suggest this little gem. From the service, the atmosphere and presentation, to each and every divine bite: A+, Five stars!
