I've never been to Rome but reckon I'd like the sights.
Nearly went last year but opted for Venice.

Are the restaurants good away from the town centre? I hate getting ripped off.

You would
I've been 7 times and only done the big sights twice. There's just so much to do and it's so close together.

You can find excellent restaurants just about anywhere. The tourist ones are generally clustered around the sights and really obvious. I would gladly dig out where I went last time - part of the charm is finding shut in delis and cafes that look like they haven't seen the light of day but serve food comparable to Selfridges etc but for pittance. *wistfulRomefoodsigh*

Plus there's the beer
wine, cheap cigarettes, lovely women and balmy weather.

Remind me nearer the time that you go - I know some locals who can recommend some good non tourist places.
