Total Splurge - Restaurant

Raphael Hotel & Restaurant

2 Largo Febo, Piazza Navona

The Raphael Restaurant is situated on the Terrace of the Raphael Hotel. Around the corner from Piazza Navona, the Restaurant provides exquisite cuisine along with the pleasure of a 360 degree view of the splendors of Rome. It pays to book in advance and I would suggest that you get there before sunset ... the transformation from day to night is breathtaking. In the night light you can clearly see the Colosseum, the Vatican as well as the Forums and so much more. While you dine with the stars (stellar-type), you can feel every breeze, smell every aroma and you are taken aback as the food just melts in your mouth. Most of the staff speak English and truly add to your magical experience. I was swept off my feet with a romantic Anniversary dinner. It was for our 7th Wedding Anniversary and after dining at the Raphael, it certainly made sure that the 7-year itch never even made an appearance!
A dinner for two, which includes entrees, main, a glass of wine, desert and coffee, will set you back approximately $AU250 - $AU300. This is a special occasion splurge - and remember ... Dress Well! No Jeans, No T-Shirts and Definitely nothing ripped or torn!
