cool restaurants for 30-somethings in Rome
Any recommendations for cool restaurants to go to in Rome? We're 2 single women from LA and NYC.. want to find a mix of authentic restaurants plus some hip, new places.. less touristy.. but cool, fun, good atmosphere. I'll be there late next week.

I agree with the other two recommendations and add Gusto (www.gusto.it).

At a minimum, I have three places to suggest:
1. ICE CLUB-this is a place to go and hang for awhile, just to see what it's
like-the interior is ALL ice, carved into seats, tables, the bar, in Roman Doric columns and the like, -they give you capes to keep the chill off-very wild! But a great place to have a chilling vodka-no food. Just about 20 meters from the Fori Imperiali and parallel to Via Cavour, on Via Madonna dei Monti-Monti, the neighborhood, is my favorite in Rome, great estaurants, bars, hip clubs and that incomparable backdrop of ancient Rome. Fewer tourists, more Romans.
2. OPPIO CAFE- you can look far and wide in Rome and go to more expensive hotel
terraces, but this hip bar and restaurant is hard to be for their all-weather
terrace that is right in full view of the Colisseum at night-it is one of the world's great views. Oppio is open until 2am, and they have very decent pastas, great aperitivos, pizzas, live music, with a really nice bricked arched interior, yet with this cool mod interior. Open until 2am as well, and they serve meals late-until after midnight, I think. Via Terme di Tito 72 (hardly difficult to find-it's right across the street from the Colisseum!)

3. ARANCIA BLU- this is a real favorite with the hip student crowd over in San Lorenzo. Great vegetarian cuisine, 400 kinds of wine (it's a winebar as well as a restaurant). There is live music and special events.

3. FLUID-this is a nightclub, bar, aperitivo establishment, that serves a
copious buffet with aperitivos, but has this really cool interior-like a cosmic forest, with metal vines on the stairway, and a high tech waterfall along the back wall, black floors, chandeliers-the works!. There are djs on the weekends starting on Thursdays, body painting is going on here-nothing ordinary, it is a place not to miss!
Located on the lovely ancient Via del Governo Vechio 46/47
