I love your advice and your writing style...(-: I especially like the "get sunglasses, or you're nobody"...:)

if nightlife means anything to you, then I'd recommend these areas:
> Testaccio (trendy and pricy)
> San Lorenzo (more "underground", students' quarter)
Enjoy! :)

RESTAURANTS
GUSTO**** (not to be missed! You can choose from osteria/wine bar/pizzeria/restaurant/fish restaurant….my recommendation is for osteria, more typical but all are nice ...have a look at Gusto.it) – piazza Augusto Imperatore (near the Tevere, on left side of Piazza del Popolo) – Tel. 06 3226273 à book in advance!
TRATTORIA TRILUSSA*** (Historic trattoria in Trastevere) – Via del Politeama, 23-25 (Trastevere, in front of Piazza Trilussa, loooking at the fountain, get the road on the left and walk for 150 mt) à book in advance!
IL BOCCONCINO** (typical nice trattoria: food is tasty, ver roman, no fixed menu...it depends on the day....but I love it as it was just downstair my place there and used to know the previous owner) – Via ostilia, 23 (100 mt from the colosseum) – Tel 06 77079175 --> maybe good for lunch
BRUNCH (Sat or Sunday)
Obikà (mozzarella bar...if you love mozzarella and similar (treccia, burrata...), this is a paradise!) – Via dei Prefetti 28 (near Via del Corso) – Tel. 06 6832630 à be there early, between 12 and 1 max or book . there is a branch also in campo dei Fiori, too touristy however
APERITIF
Riccioli Caffé (fish-sushi and bubbles, it’s not really happy hour in the sense that you don’t get discount in this one or food for free)
(eventually you can decide to cross the street and have dinner in one of the Trattoria in Via delle Coppelle…)
One of the café in Campo dei Fiori (beside Piazza Farnese), nice setting, but very touristy....you can also have just a drink here at mid-afternoon
-----------
[--> For a romantic view, climb up the stairs on the right of Piazza del popolo (called Terrazze del Pincio) and walk until u reach the top of Trinità dei Monti ---> ideal at sunset or even better at evening]
CLUBS:
a) LA MAISON (near Piazza Navona), friday night only, on sat too young
b) some of the numerous clubs in TESTACCIO , depending on the DJ performing...but usually this is a popular one: AKAB – via di Monte Testaccio 69 (3 rooms, with different music styl es)
c) ART CAFÉ – via del galoppatoio (near Piazza di Siena, c/o Villa Borghese)
More middle-age, trendy setting, hot chicks ;-)
d) PIPER – historical club (30 &+ years old), always interesting concerts
e) CIRCOLO DEGLI ARTISTI – via casilina vecchia 42 – www.circoloartisti.it (Great for avant-garde concerts)

if you are not used to the Italian traffic, bicycle or scooter will be an experience. I was travelling by bike from north to south of Italy , so I learned the traffic rules, but you have to learn it!
