go to this pub: its called "jonathan's" at vicolo del fico near piazza navona.
and once there... go visit the bathroom! everybody goes there just to see it, im not kidding.
and i wont tell u how it is so u will have the surprise!
also a chat with jonathan is fun, but then go during a weekday maybe around 10 pm, so he will have time for u, if not usually the place is too crowded

You could go to the Piazza De Spagna (SP?) and eat at any of the restaurants which is where any alfresco eating scene is filmed when on location in Rome.
There is a lovely bar / restaurant at the base of the Spanish steps. Face away from them the road directly in front of you head for the trendy looking Bistro place just on the right hand side.
Alternatively the inside of a roman prison cell would be very original, just get caught shoplifting or something :0)
Enjoy the sights are amazing, the Sistine Chapel has to be seen to be believed, shame about the food on the whole I thought.
Ah yes there is also a very dodgy wax works opposite the big typewriter looking building. sorry I am useless at remembering names. Exit the Colosseum metro station, turn right walk all the way to the end of the road, the typewriter place will be on your left cross the busy Square to the far side and the wax works are over on the right.

the street - Borgo Pio - to the left of st Peters, running parallel to the main drag. there are darling shops, restuarants, etc. the other spot i recommend to everyone -- go to the piazza navona and buy a bag os chestnuts from a streetside vendor, walk around to a bench, sit, eat watch then hit on of the coffee shops and meander around the art vendors there.

Rome it's self!!! but suggest you read up on Rome first as i think it is the most diverse city in Europa, you want it it's there, no matter how large your appetite in any direction you will find it in Rome, styl..food..architecture...culture...design...theater..opera...art
i don't know when you are going but go to the Liberia and find a book:- Francesco's Italy will give you some off the Italian passion.
i bought my daughters Christin gown in Rome, no one els in Europa could touch the Italian dress makers. lucky you

I have just returned from Rome, and the thing that impressed me the most was The Sisteen Chapel. Surley this must be the most beautiful thing in the world.

Off the beaten track just off the main plaza down an alleyway is a local eating house where you can still hear the music that the others pay for?
