Rome has a plethora of
places to eat - some good, some not so good serving up standard touristic
fayre. Below are the places I've eaten really enjoyable meals several times
over. I have no hestitation recommending any of the these places.
Ara
Pacis - La Capricciosa (Largo
dei Lombardi, 8 - 00186 Rome) - We usually pop
into La Capricciosa on our visits to Rome and not without
cause. Service has always been excellent and very hospitable.
Food has always been super to splendid (especially
the signature pizza La Capricciosa) and there's an
enjoyable selection of wine - which one expects from
any eatery worth its salt in Italy. Being just off
Via del Corso, one would normally expect more tourists
at such an establishment and, while there is always
a quota, many visitors are Romans. Which is a good
sign.
Hotel
Raphael - rooftop terrace (Largo
Febo 2 (nr Piazza Navona)) - The rooftop terrace
at the Hotel Raphael benefits from an excellent kitchen
and rooftop views over the city. Usually open during
the summer months in fine weather, view of St Peters
Basilica, Castel Sant'Angello, the roof tops of Piazza
Navona and the Pantheon. Which is an excellent way
to enjoy a well made meal or simply a glass of wine.
Hotel
Columbus - The Veranda (Via
della Conciliazione 33, 00193 Roma) - We've taken
luncheon at The Veranda Restaurant in the Hotel Columbus
a few times now and have always been pleased with their
lunch menu - which comes in at 35EUR for four courses,
a glass of wine, water and breads. Food quality has
always been excellent and portions are invariably on
the more-than-ample side. Service is pretty good and
unhurried - which is nice. The spacious dining room
also boasts an excellently decorated cieling or, in
warmer times, enjoy the garden.
