range? 4. Decent wine list (Italian only is fine)? Here are the restaurants... 1. Cantina del Vecchio 2. Convivio 3. Osteria dell’Antiquaria 4. Pierluigi’s 5. Ristorante Taverna Angelica 6. Gusto 7. Ristorante Vecchia Roma 8....

and stayed at Albergo del Senato right on Piazza Rotunda. Its worth visiting their website. Also in Rome, I never miss dining at 'Gusto, a few blocks northwest of Piazza Spagna at the corner of via della Frezza and via del Corea....

love Al Papei and Le Torre whilst in Rome, L’Orso 80, La Buca di Ripetta, Ditrambo, Maccheroni. Any other ideas would be fantastic and gratefully received. Incidentally if anybody finds themselves near Bolgheri in Tuscany...

In Agrigento area, in Menfi, very close to Porto Palo, IL VIGNETO. In Catania, in its center, AL GABBIANO, only seafood, and AMBASCIATA DEL MARE, in Piazza Duomo, very good and not expensive. In Nicolosi, at the feet of Etna,...

Whooooaaaa... .I think even I could never cook and eat that dude. Link: http://www.salon.com/news/wire/2005/03/02/bubba/index.html

Across the street from Enoteca Antica is Fiaschetteria Beltrame, a little restaurant where I have enjoyed Abbachio Scotaditta. Even nearer to Piazza Popolo is 'Gusto (at via della Frezza 16, west of the Corso) a large many...

Pupuseria del Valle on Victory south of Verdugo in Burbank.

You’re missing Ruthy’s for cheesecake (I’m not a fan of their other baked goods), Buon Italia for fresh pasta, salumi, cheese, olive oils and lots of other Italian specialties. Great browsing. I think that the T...

I like Le Zie in Chelsea and Osteria del Sole in the WV.

I never visit Rome without a lunch or dinner at 'Gusto, a big, bustling place a few blocks south and west of Piazza del Populo. A full meal or wine and cheese or salumi plate. Great fun. And for my favorite pizza: Pizzaria Remo in...

... but then again... haven’t tried the fish or caldos yet. Wonder how they compare to El Buen Gusto, who have similar prices. If anyone’s been to Pepe’s Tacos (not part of the chain in Alhambra, etc.) on...

slant. In Rome, I recommend 'Gusto, a happening place a few bocks northwest of Piazza Spagna at the corner of via della Frazza and via del Corea. Anything from barrel wine and cheese and salumi plates to full bore dinner. Great...

I ate there once thought it was mediocre – but I kinda feel bad for the owner – he is the same guy who owns Buon Gusto (also very mediocre) and he is a real nice guy and he had big plans to open 3 restaurants in the...

Salon Mexico, on E. 26th St., btw Lex & 3rd, would be a great place to consider for a birthday celebration. The creative Mexican cuisine is very good, and there’s a huge drinks list. It’s a very attractive place with...
