We have a one night stay in Rome in early June. We will be staying at the Hotel Indigo Rome - St. George located near the intersection of Via Giulia and Via die Bresciani. I have read with interest the comments about Taverna Ripetta and Roscioli. Both sound wonderful but appear to be a long walk from our hotel. Could Perche or one of our other knowledgable posters comment on the walk and/or recommend a restaurant of the same general type as the above that would be a shorter walk. We would prefer to walk but could or course take a taxi. I have never been in Rome so know nothing of the logistics. Thanks in advance for any help.
The hotel's location is optimal for walking just about anywhere. It's about half a mile, or a 5-10 minute walk to Roscioli. Taverna Ripetta is a little farther, almost a mile, a 15-20 minute walk.
You should know that Taverna is a combination Italian/Egyptian restaurant. The menu has mostly italian dishes but also falafel, hummus, baba ganoosh, fattush, cous cous, the meat is halal, etc. I'm not implying that you shouldn't go there or that they don't make good italian food, but just so that you are not surprised when you see the menu.
