Need advice - Sunday arrival in Rome

We leave for four nights in Rome on 10/4 and arrive in Rome mid-morning on sunday the 5th. Based on other posts, I gather we should be reserving a car service (my wife and I and another couple) rather than taking a cab or trying the train. Which company provides the best service? We are staying at one of the "name" hotels in the Via Veneto. My thought was to get settled, head over to the Borghese museum and end the day with a walk over to the Spanish steps. I'd like to get a good meal in the area but not too heavy or overpriced (ala Hassler roof). Any suggestions would be most welcome. Grazie!

Good plans for Sunday. After visiting the Galleria Borghese, stroll through the vast Villa Borghese over to the Piazza del Popolo before heading down to Piazza di Spagna.

Another travel option is to take the "Leonardo Express" non-stop train that runs between Rome and Fiumucino Airport. The daily departures run every 30 minutes from 6:37 a.m. to 11:37 p.m. and go directly into Roma Termini train station. At only 8,80 euro per person, it sure beats paying 60-100+ euros for a limo service! From Termini it is just a short Metro stop (or bus ride) to the Via Veneto.

Limoservice Rome is 52 Euros for 4 people..they pick you up as you exit baggage claim , take you directly to your hotel and unload your bags for you.

That is just about the same price that 4 would pay for the train and a taxi..maybe even cheaper

Thanks for the limo advice. Any suggestions for a first rate dinner that evening near the Piazza di Spagna?
