Rome restaurants and can’t miss places to visit while there.

My fiancé has scheduled most of our trip and now she is asking me to get involved and find a one nice restaurant or interesting place that she hasn’t already picked out.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Of course I’ve used the internet and ChatGPT to name some favorite places and I have those, but hoped to catch someone here that may have a unique idea or experience that they have had there that can earn me some brownie points for getting involved in this.
We are going September 7th -16th to Rome for the first 5 days then the Almalfi Coast for the last 3.
Yes I’ll site my source Lol
Thank you for any input.

Cooking class or pasta making class. About 120$pp but to me it was totally worth it. about 2-3hours long with free flowing wine.

Going to Rome and the Amalfi Coast?
Great trip. We combined those two destinations a few years ago.
I will give you a restaurant recommendation for both.
For your Michelin starred meal in what my wife calls the most romantic restaurant she has ever been to (and she is a connoisseur of such things) have dinner at Restaurant LaSponda in Hotel LeSirenuse in Positano. The room is lit not with electricity but with 400 candles, and the wall of the restaurant is a glass window overlooking the Mediterranean to the left and the Positano Hill to the right. The adjoining bar has an outdoor terrace with the same view. It is spectacular.
I Positano, our hotel was Villa Gabrisa. They have three rooms on the second floor with 24' X 24' private terraces overlooking the Mediterranean. The view is spectacular for a hotel room. It is not super expensive like LeSirenuse because it is a little hike up the hill from the beach.
My Rome recommendation is a little more casual, but you will have a delicious Italian meal in unique and historic surroundings.
Hosteria Costanza
It is just off Campo de Fiore. The restaurant is built among the ruins of the Theatre de Pompey which is where the Roman Senate was meeting when Brutis assassinated Julius Caesar there.

Those sound awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Went to Rome last year, best thing we did, food wise, was a walking food tour in the Trastevere neighborhood. There are many options to choose from.
Our travel group was 6 and it was just us and included wine. Good times!

We did a tipsy pasta cooking class .. so much fun .. made pasta and different spritz. They made the sauce and it was one of the best meals we had.

Man thank you for the suggestions.
Very much appreciated, as we close in one month out it still feels like we have so much to get done to be ready to head across the pond.
Kind of stressful and doesn’t help her throwing shite on me last minute.
I usually do ALL of the scheduling or None of the scheduling because of the amount of moving parts on a trip like this.
I’ve traveled to South America and Hawaii but never Europe or Asia so I’m excited as hell.
I still remember that running joke from a couple years ago asking men how often they think the Roman Empire.
I think it said the results were a few times a week for the average American male.
Are you not entertained? Lol
*And thanks everyone who made a suggestion or two. Very helpful

If you want to go to LaSponda, now is the time to contact them for reservations.
Posted on 8/6/26 at 7:28 pm to geauxpurple
LaSponda booked already.
Looks nice too. Right up my alley for what she wants just a little late to the party on this unfortunately.

It actually allows a booking at the bar for drinks and small bites around 9.
Would that be worth taking a look into anyway?

We did Mirabelle one evening. Great views. Food was solid but we preferred the other Michelin place in Florence.

We did this while we were over there a few months ago. Highly recommend. We went through eating Europe to book it.
In terms of casual spots, we stumbled into La Fiaschetta. Really enjoyed our meal there after a long day of walking.
There is a wine bar right outside of Campo de' Fiori called L'Angolo Divino. If you are staying around that area, it was a solid spot to start the night.

booking at the bar

This is great to hear because I booked a Friday night at Mirabelle just for the views and close to the Hotel.

Sounds good man thank you.
That place looks pretty awesome.
Might even get laid that night. Lol

Get on a train one morning and go to Ovierto. It’s a great little town less than an hour train ride away.
Posted on 8/9/26 at 12:05 am to deltafarmer
Thank you for that.
Great idea
Any one ever check out any of the catacombs?
Not sure how I feel about it, but sounds kind of cool.
