Another questin for our trip to Rome on Saturday. We are staying at Hotel Due Torri as per this board's recomendation. But, I don't know if they serve breakfast. Nothing on their website says yay or nay, but I notice a picture of a small dining room. Has anyone stayed there lately? Also, if you have stayed there have you been able to get restaurant rec's from the staff? THANKS!

Hi Gen<BR><BR>When we were at the Due Torri in October 2001, they served a bounteous buffet breakfast in that little breakfast room you see on the site. All sorts of goodies were available: soft boiled eggs, cereals, breads and pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt and even chocolate candy! You could have your choice of coffees too; the capuccino was delicious. I'm assuming the hotel still serves breakfast. You could e-mail them if you need to know for sure. <BR><BR>We didn't ask for restaurant recs, so I can't answer that part of your question.<BR><BR>Buon viaggio

We just returned from Rome on October 26 and stayed at the Hotel Due Torri. Yes, they serve a very nice breakfast(for Italy). Cereal, yogurt, fruit pastries - very good croisants, soft boiled eggs. Cappucino, juices and they even had American coffee for my mom. <BR><BR>The staff is very helpful, if you ask. They gave us several restaurant recs in the neighborhood. <BR><BR>Have fun!!<BR>

For a restaurant nearby, try L'Orso 80 around the corner on Via Portoghesi. Their antipasto is incredible -- about a dozen different dishes will be brought to you. I dream about this place when I'm home!<BR>

Also next door the other way is a convent that serves dinner nightly, inexpensive and very good, including wine. Fraterna Domus.
