Recommendations for Rome trattorias and wine bars?
We'll be in Rome our first, second and last nights in Italy , and two of those nights are Sundays. I've been reading up on restaurants, but it seems that so many are closed on Sunday! Any good recommendations? If they're closer to the Northeast or center of Rome all the better. Thanks.

Don't know if its open Sunday evenings, but 'Gusto is my favorite restaurant - wine bar in Rome. I do know they are famed for their Sunday brunch so they may be open later too. Located at the corner of via della Frezza and via del Corea, about a half dozen blocks northwest of Piazza Spagna. 063226273.

I don't know if they are open on Sunday but the best meal we had on our vacation was at the Apuleius restaurant. It's a small sidewalk restaurant in a quiet residential neighborhood on the Aventine hill, not far from center city.

Dear Nina,
I have an excellent and reasonably priced recommendation for you ---as long as you are willing to metro to the Ottaviano stop (the one for St.Peter's and the Vatican).
They are open every Sunday, as well as all holidays. It is the "Hosteria Da Vito E Dina:. It is about a two block walk after leaving the metro stop. Walking in the direction of "St. Peter's", the street will be off to to your right.
Address: Via degli Scipioni,50
TEL: 06 39723293
We ate Easter Sunday dinner there, and the food was excellent and the proprietor was a "hoot".
We had caprese salad, two differnt pastas, shared roasted lamb (the traditional Easter dish in Italy), a litre of house wine, dessert and cappucino for 41 Euro.
Vito showed us a business card left with him by a gentleman who has something to do with the food service at the White House--he was really proud that such a "dignitary" had eaten at this little trattoria.
Go-- you will enjoy the food and his jolly personality --plus, he speaks enough English to help with the translation of "unfamiliar" dishes.
