re: Best restaurants in Rome, Italy

I hesitated to chime in here because, unlike in Paris and some other places in Europe, the restaurants we go to in Rome tend to be on the casual side and not the high end gourmet places. That said, I recommended one of our favorite hangouts to someone on here yesterday- Enoteca Cul de Sac near Piazza Navona. Very good food and a great wine list.

Another favorite is Hosteria Costanza near Campo de Fiori. The food is delicious and the restaurant is in an old historic building built among the ruins of the old Theatre of Pompey which is where the Roman Senate was meeting when Julius Caesar was assassinated there.
