Recommendations for restaurants in the Colosseum area
My wife and I will be heading to Rome in February and staying near the colosseum. Can anyone recommend some places to eat & drink in that area? Price doesn't really matter. Quality is most important.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hosteria di Nerone gets raves from almost everyone, including Maureen B. Fant, who does Italian food reviews for the New York Times.
It's just up the hill from the Colosseum on Via delle Terme di Tito.
My own experience there was less than stellar, but I caught them at a bad time, i.e., at the same time as a group of 20 or more American tourists who all wanted a Coke and a salad and a separate bill.

di Nerone: the food isn't amazing, but if you're not there when a gigantic tour group arrives, it's a low-key, pleasant, reasonably priced place with good food (some of it's excelllent...sometimes).
Again, if it's not overly busy, as ekscrunchy says, they are very friendly, even somewhat flirtatious.

Also, I'd do a search here for Rome restaurants:; I know I've read reviews from happy diners reporting back after staying in that area, and there are plenty of restaurants on Cavour, near Monti, via Leonina, etc.
But that's really not such an out-of-the-way location that you couldn't go elsewhere to dine if really incredible food is important to you.

We had an enjoyable lunch at Antica Trattoria da Pasqualino, located just to the east of the Colosseum. Excellent food - a very fresh tasting tomatoe sauce on house-made ricotta filled ravioli - lunch and wine for two @ less than 25 euro. Simple food, but made with high quality ingredients. Would definately eat there again.
