I am in the process of reserving a restaurant in Rome and they want a credit card to hold the reservation. That's fine - but they don't have an encrypted website or anything like that. They just want me to print a form out, fill in my info, sign it, and email it back. This seems incredibly unsecure. Anyone had experience with this kind of booking?

My DD studied for six months in Rome last year and I was fortunate to visit her several times. On my last night there on one of my trips, we went to Ad Hoc. We had a fabulous tasting menu focused on truffles, paired with wonderful wines. The ambience, food and service were all top-notch. And compared to tasting menus elsewhere, it was very reasonably priced. Here's a link:

They have two locations and since we booked last minute, we got into their newest one in Circo Massimo, and it was wonderful. A month or so later, the owner sent me a thank-you email, with an electronic cookbook. Really sweet level of service and DD and I look back on it with fond memories as a really fun mother-daughter night out.

Book ahead especially if you're there in the summer.

Roscioli. Need a rez well in advance.

We had lunch at a restaurant at piazza navona. The food was pretty good and the view was was fabulous. There’s also a rooftop restaurant there.

Any recommendations for a special dinner? Doesn't have to be the most expensive restaurant, but something with great ambiance or incredible views (and food!) would be great. Thanks!
