All TexAgs joking aside, anyone have a recommendation for a great date-night restaurant in Rome (Italy)?

Whatever restaurant that allows cargo shorts and white new balance of course.

With some white crew socks to really be a baller.

Depends on what you are looking for. For restaurants in Rome try Da Fortunata Al Pantheon and Il Gabrielo. Da Fortunata has a couple of outdoor tables that you can see the Pantheon from. Reallly nice at night. Good food and the wait staff was great. Highly recommend Il Gabrielo. Ask for Claudio's Extravaganza. It is not on the menu. The chef cooks you whatever is fresh. You can choose meat or fish. I think it was 5 courses including desert. The chef even came out and talked with us a couple of times to make sure we were enjoying the food. You definitely need a reservation here. For Roman style thin crust pizza- Pizzeria da Baffetto is great and definitely a locals place.

La Taverna Dei Monti was our favorite restaurant that we went to in Rome. Really awesome pasta. It was down a side street and full of locals when we went. It isn't fancy or expensive but it was our favorite place while there.

How much do you want to spend? What part of the city?

I was just there a couple of weeks ago but only 3 days. There are a mind boggling number of choices. Any place good will require reservations in advance, sometimes a few days.

Summer trip so plenty of time to book. In the past we've opted for Michelin starred restaurants and enjoyed both but aren't beholden to fancy.

My wife and I have enjoyed Abruzzi. The carbonara is amazing as an early course. Have to try the green limoncello after dinner. Sit outside if it's not Houston hot and humid.

In the summer time, it is really tough to beat a table at Jardin de Russie. It is not inexpensive, but it is fabulous.

I think it all depends on what you want for date night. One of the experiences my wife and I still talk about is having a date night in a pizzeria just across from the Pantheon and sitting at an outside table sharing a pizza and a bottle of wine and being present while taking in the history of the place.

McDonalds.

A lot of it depends on where you are staying
And how far you are willing to go

So many great places all over you should be able to stay local to your hotel
