As far as booking hotels is concerned, I suggest using the following website. The owner is Chiara's brother and we have used it ourselves many times to our greatest satisfaction - it allows to sort hotels by zone, price and quality, and offer unbiased customer reviews that make booking much simpler.

Waiting for this page to host Chiara's personal suggestions of nice little hotels - and restaurants - here's a first small list of worthy restaurants in Rome. These were mostly suggested by her brother Gianandrea and my sister Luli.

(tell them you are a friend of Gianandrea)

Sora Margherita 066874216
Piazza delle 5 Scole 30 (Jewish Ghetto)
(typical roman trattoria with the best cacio and pepe pasta - they won't accept booking: you'll have to just go there and wait a little. a very small place, but fun to visit)

My sister's suggestions:

Ristorante il Bacaro
Via degli spagnoli 27 - tel. 06.6872554
(this is right in front of our former apartment)

small, nice and cozy, kind of expensive but not unaffordable - on their website you can check the menu anyways. you should definitely book in advance because it's a REALLY small place. it's closed on sundays.
