Should I just stay in Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice) or go to more European cities for anniversary? My husband and I will be celebrating our 10 yr anniversary and I want to take him to Italy, my most favorite European country. I have visited many cities throughout Europe but he hasn't. He has only been in Spain once while I have been in Europe 4 times many years ago (before the Euro!). I was checking prices and tours of just Italy and this costs me about the same as other tours to other countries. I was thinking that if we go to Italy, we can only afford the kind of tour that would take us to Rome, Florence and Venice (if I go to Italy, I must go to these three, hands down). There are other tours that touch these three only briefly, and also include cities in France, England, even Germany, for about the same price and maybe an extra couple of days more than the Italian tour. I don't know what to choose. He tells me he doesn't have a preference, so it's up to me. Also, do you have any recommendations for tour company that is not geared to only senior citizens or wild singles?

Rome, Italy - elegant restaurant recommendation needed.? I am getting married in Rome next March. I am looking for a luxuriously elegant restaurant with excellent food for a party of about 10 people for the wedding dinner. I am especially interested in the setting providing a feeling like you are in a palace with fine furnishings - fine heavy drapings with deep colors, plush furniture, oil paintings on the wall, candle lit, fine tableware, etc. The interior decor throughout the St. Regis in Rome is a good example of what I am looking for, but the restaurant there, Vivendo, looks a bit too contemporary for me. I considered La Pergola at the Hilton Cavalieri and La Terrazza at Hotel Eden, and while they have wonderful views, the luxurious setting I was looking for with the deep dark colors wasn't there. I also considered Sapori del Lord Byron, but it also was lacking in the setting I desire. I would greatly appreciate anyone's recommendation who could help me along with where I could see some pictures online of your recommendation.
