Good evening, again, Liza <BR>The HOTEL FORUM, via Tor de Conte, 25, <BR>has a wonderful roof top garden ristorante which over looks the Roman <BR>Forum and the Capitolina. It is located <BR>about two blocks north, up the Fori Imperiali to the right...It has been many years but has not been forgotten. <BR>Richard of La Grange Park, Il... <BR>

I have no idea if your tour includes the San Pietro in Vincoli church. IMO, seeing Michelangelo's Moses there is a must. In case it isn't included, you may plan to visit the church just before noon (it should close at 12:30pm). Upon exiting the church, descending towards the Colosseum, my personal choice would indeed be the Nerone. Very good food and if the weather is fine you may sit outside with a view of the Colosseum. <BR> <BR>In case you're pressed for time, you won't have much choice. I guess you'd be served quickly at Pizza Forum, on Via San Giovanni in Laterano, just off the Piazza del Colosseo to the east. <BR> <BR>Paulo <BR> <BR>

Hi LIsa, only a few weeks ago we had a great lunch at Al Cardello, Via del Cardello 1, a few yards from Via Cavour <BR>( please be aware that streets have different names on both sides of Via Cavour) Phone: 06 474 5239.This a family run restaurant that has thrived since 1920s.Setting has ambiance in an old building. <BR>Food is delicious , they offer a very good antipasti buffet,.... the key to a great meal, we found was to say : YES to all the proposals of the Signora (owner)...it was a very nice experience and we had dinner/lunch in much more expensive restaurants. Hope you ll love as much as we did.
