I've seen the Hotel Minerva restaurant mentioned many times as having a roof top location and being plesant. I tried the search engine on this site to see if anyone had mentioned how expensive it was; but, could find nothing. Does anyone know? Do I need reservations? It will be our first night in Rome and I'd love relaxing evening where there was a nice view.

If I recall correctly, a very nice lunch buffet was about $25 USD. There were a few items on the menu, and I think that my father-in-law did go for something that was under $15.<BR><BR>Can't help with dinner.<BR><BR>This is the kind of place that would probably fax you a menu if you just telephone them directly - - if it's for a special occasion or something.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Thanks Rex. Just got back from dinner here in SC and our dinner companions rec., where else, but, the Minerva for a great view and pleasant meal.

You're welcome, mmh/donald...<BR><BR>

We had a wonderful meal on the rooftop last August. While you certainly could spend a lot of money there, we were selective and two of us dined well for about $100, two courses and a bottle of wine. Included tip.<BR><BR>Very, very relaxed and nice, although the sell is the fact it's rooftop. Otherwise, I'm not sure I'd rush.

Search also for the recent list in National Geographic Traveler restaurants for hotels in rome with a view. they were all in the moderate-to-budget category, and I don't think that anyone has commented yet on whether has a nice restaurant or not.<BR>
