While traveling the city of Rome, you look around and see tons of restaurants everywhere you go. Most have outside seating especially in the many piazzas around the city. While visiting the Pantheon a group of about 5 girls decided to get some lunch. We decided on a small place just about 5 yards from the Pantheon. It had nice outdoor seating and a great special listed outside the door. We were able to get a salad, wine, and a pasta dish for 10 euro. This sounded good to us. You could choose from 4 or 5 pasta dishes, one of which was the cannelloni. We all were not quite sure what cannelloni was but we tried it. When it finally came out our mouths were salivating at the site of this pasta. It ended up being three large round pieces of pasta filled with ricotta cheese and spinach. It was covered in a delicious red sauce with just the right seasonings. The pasta itself was very very tasty. I would say the cannelloni is the closest thing to manicotti if you know what that is in the states. So, basically you need to try this cannelloni, maybe you could look up a recipe online and try to make it yourself if you can't get to Rome to try it on your own.
