Dinner amid the ruins

Da Pancrazio restaurant in Rome, Italy

It doesn't get more atmospheric than this, a restaurant whose basement rooms are set into the restored arcades of Pompeii's 55 BC theater. It's like dining in a museum. For a touristy restaurant, the cooking is surprisingly excellent. Among the top dishes are spaghetti alla carbonara and delicious cannelloni alla Pancrazio (pasta tubes stuffed with meat and cheese). Follow up with abbacchio al forno con patate (oven-roasted lamb chops with roasted potatoes) or fresh fish.

Piazza del Biscione 92 (just off the northeast corner of Campo de' Fiori)
