My husband & I will be in Rome for New Years, any recommendations on a restaurant that will be very special?

Question

This is our first trip to Rome and we would like it to be very memorable especially being there for New Years Eve. Any recommendations on what we should visit, and where we should eat dinner on New Years? We arrive Dec. 29th and leave Jan. 1st.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

First of all, you will love Rome!! Visit all of the main attractions such as the Colisseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain.  Take time to stroll the streets and you never know when you turn a corner whether you'll see a unique fountain or an archway with dangling plants to walk under.  Visit the Campo di Fiori marketplace if that is your kind of thing.  And try to get to the Vatican but leave plenty of time as the lines are long.

As far as special restaurants go, there are many wonderful ones along the Via Veneto, which is a very nice  area of Rome. We ate at several of them and the food was delicious and ambiance was great.  Try Conte di Galluccio which is on Via Veneto, at the end close to Piazza Barbarini.  The staff was wonderful, food was fabulous and the atmosphere was beautiful. You can also check on some of the big hotels such as Westin Excelcior to see what they have for New Years. Try a restaurant search on the internet for ones in the Via Veneto area and check menus to see what suits your taste. Read reviews on sites such as yahoo travel for restaurants in Rome.  It is good to see what REAL people have to say, as opposed to what the restaurant is going to tell you about their place.  Good luck and buon viaggio!!!

i don't have any recomendations, becuase i forgot the name of my favorite restaurant, but i just wanted to tell you, not to eat any of the bread when you eat at a restaurant, becuase they charge you for bread and water. they dont do it to the locals but they do it to the tourists and they can tell if you're a tourist
