Yes I am going with my wife and some friends. We are in Italy at the moment in the North East and are catching the train down Friday.

Ah Maes, we are at our hotel in Gatwick. We fly to Verona and then train to Mantova tomorrow. Get to Roma on Friday. Would be good to see you, Botticella is just off Piazza Navona

Have a great time lads I used to live down south on the Amalfi coast - Arriverderci and come on Walessssssssssssssssss

Cheers Penfro...!

I am not sure what our plans are. Ill PM you when I know. Tickets were remarkably cheap, under €120 for four through a friend in Treviso two days ago.

I've not heard of La Botticella. We are staying on Via di Porta Pinciana I think the hotel is called something incredibly Eurotrash like "Hotel Splendid". Apparently a nice place though according to our friends. Better be at the cost. Not a cheap city mate.

Speak soon, have a safe trip.

Cheers Maes, waiting for our flight to he called. We are staying just off Piazza Navona on the same street as the Abbey Theatre Irish pub. We go to La Botticella every Friday before the game and we haven't missed an Italy away since the 6 Nations started. Hope to see you

I wish, have been to all but the 1st of Englands 6N games there, great city.


I'm sure you know plenty of places to go as a regular, but more than happy to dig out some of the places we've enjoyed going to. Although frankly if you just walk around and stay off the very tourist squares there are loads of nice cafes/bars.

Enjoy!

Cheers Bathman Yes, we've got loads of places we have been but I'm always happy to learn about others experiences. Cheers Right now it's snowing heavily here in Mantova !!

It was snowing last year in Rome and it was blooming freezing! On the plus side it meant plenty of excuses to stop off at bars/cafes!

A couple of places I can remember off the top of my head:

http://www.anticaenoteca.com/

Nice little wine bar/ restaurant, nothing too fancy but always seems to be busy.

http://www.ristorantelacampana.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=7&lang=it

I really like this restaurant, proper Italian food, always full of locals and open on a Sunday too. I don't think we've ever seen other Brits in there, but while searching for it online there seemed to be a lot of reviews in English, so I guess its getting more popular.

They are the only 2 which I can remember the names of off the top of head that I would recommend. Somewhere at home I've got a load of cards from restaurants/bars so I'll try and remember to have a look tonight.

Have a good time, you'll like the new stadium, much better than the old one!

Catching a 6.15am plane tomorrow drunk!

Any recommendations on nightlife ?

Can't wait now, might even catch the dragons game on the Sunday... Must be mad lol

BATHMAN - Thanks for those. Been to the Enoteca, but not heard of that restaurant. May well give it a whirl

YOUNGGUN - Not sute what to say on the nightlife, I'm getting on a bit now

MAES - I've PM'd you
