The 'Eternal City' has a breeze of romance flowing through it all the time. It is known as the City of Love too, thanks to the exotic architecture and vistas sprinkled generously by glorious domed structures. Adding to the experience is of course the city's incredible food. Here are our picks for the top romantic restaurants in Rome with exquisite food and the perfect ambiance for love.
