Wow. What fun.

I think the best restaurant I went to in Rome was in a funny little coblestone back street. Probably where the chariots were parked while the centuions went boozing hundreds of years ago.

The guy who owned the hotel phoned his friend and demanded (I don't speak Italian but it was an aninimated phone conversation) the best table for his most esteemed guests LOL

It was fanatastic. And everyone else seemed to be locals.

So ask the hotel manager what he thinks, and don't be afraid to go to his cousin Gino's restaurant. Unlikely to be scammed, they are pretty honourable people.
