Our hotel recommended that we explore the area of Travestere, close to the Vatican. A picturesque neighbourhood and apparently the inhabitants consider themselves to be the true Romans. Trendy restaurants are appearing in the area and it seems to be a popular area for locals and tourists alike. Many young people are in the streets and there was a huge choice of bars and restaurants for us to pick from. On our second evening, we chose a restaurant called "Antica Osteria Rugantino". They have a lovely terrace outside, a perfect place to watch all the different people walk by. We had some fantastic pasta dishes along with tasty Italian white wine and very attentive service. Recommended!!
