Also, the mosaics in the main church are incredible.

I can't wait. They sound tremendous. Thanks so much for all of the advice and help offered.

Can you tell me about the Dino and Tony's place you frequently mention? I'm looking for a good restaurant in between our morning Vatican tour and late afternoon (3:15) Scavi tour.
Thanks!

If you google Dino and Tony's I know you will find lots of reviews. I believe it is mentioned in Rick Steves' guide. I have never eaten there myself.

Thanks you Italy TRaveler for your help.

Jcepk1, Dino and Tony's is a very fun place to have lunch and the food was decent too. I found out about it here on Fodors.com. You can get good directions and operating times at
