1) Casina Valadier for example, situated in the heart of Villa Borghese (photo above). Salotto 42, Pietra Square 42, for aperitif and/or Hotel de Russie (9, babuino street). Very amazing one.

2) As Restaurant: La Fischetteria, Croce Street
Wine Bar: Antica Vineria, in Croce street

You should try to go to la casina Valadier – in the heart of Villa Borghese – on a Friday night for their signature “aperitivo”, basically a buffet dinner with drinks. The Salotto 42 is pretty good too and laid back, basically every night, and particularly on Thursday and Saturday.

3) Via della Croce is just off Piazza di Spagna and a parallel street to Via Condotti, is a good option for both lunch and dinner.
La Fiaschetteria da Cesaretto is actually a very “cute” place and the food is good too; the antica Vineria can be an option for an evening drink. As can be a casual drink in Campo De’ Fiori.

4) The bar at the Hotel the Russie is very chic, it’s an outside garden and is very quite despite being in the buzzing centre: nearby to dine you have a few options. One is il Bolognese, that would qualify, along with i Due Ladroni [the two thieves... in Piazza Nicosia] as chic dining venues as per your initial post…

5) September is a strange part of the year: the lifestyle is more shaped on the summer than on the “normality” of the city life so you want to check “what’s up” while here.

6) La Antica Enoteca on via della Croce is definitely not classy.
Salotto 42 is nice but so small!

Anything in the center of Rome will ruin your shoes and you stomach I would go to place in Parioli, where the food is better or if you want real genuine Roman food put your jeans on and go to the suburbe. That is where all the new restaurants are with the new and upcoming chefs.

Personally, I always stay at Hotel Eden, few minutes from Trinità de’ Monti and Villa Borghese. It is much more than a luxury hotel, it is the “home”

The best one is DE RUSSIE in Via del Babbuino, you have every things by your hotel.

I would have a look at Hotel Inghilterra. It is right in the center below the Spanish steps so you do not have to spend a lot of time walking up the hill!. Just make sure you get one of the new rooms. I have seen them and they are beautiful.

I did not enjoy Hotel de Russie last time I was in Rome and I generally like Rocco Forte hotels.

Stay in any hotel near Via Veneto…. its a beatiful street, and its walking distance from the Fontana di Trevi, it has wonderful restaurants and bars, and its also very close to the Piazza di Spagna, where most of the shooping is.

I’ve been eating there for 12 years. I have always eaten well. The waiters even remember me (before some major changes) and I live in Australia.

Nice looking people in a cosy traditional trattoria….yummy carbonara!

Try their signature carbonara. It is the best I have ever had.

One of the best restaurants in Rome. Great ambient

Amazing

1) Nice art deco hotel, friendly staff, highly recommended.

2) Oustanding service and handsome restaurant. Quiet location but close to the city center.

3) Just stayed there got a rate of 190 per night (via portofino world web site) and it was well worth it although the walls were a little thin. The rest of the hotel and service is off the shizzle for rizzle. Check it.

4) Charming contemporary art deco boutique hotel at the edge of the Borghese Gardens but somewhat out of the way (an advantage & disadvantage depending on the situation.

5) Cute hotel, but a little far from the centre.

6) Big comfortable rooms and you can get good rates in this site.
