Places to eat Christmas Eve/Day in Rome

[scase805]

I moved to Sicily with my girlfriend in September. Since we are not going to be able to make it back to the States for the holidays, we decided to take a cheap flight up to Rome for four days, arriving on Christmas Eve. I haven't been to Rome before, so I'm not sure what will be open and what won't on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day - does anyone more familiar with the city have any suggestions on what to do, and also more importantly, where you would suggest we eat? Thanks in advance for your help!

I've been looking into that myself, since we're more or less orphaned this year, but the few I've called are all closed on the 24th and 25th. However, the hotel restaurants are open, and some of these are very good. I also got an email press release yesterday about a new multifunction place called Convoglia, near stazione Termini, www.convoglia.it. The proper restaurant isn't open yet but they have a Christmas brunch and I forget what else. There are also web sites that list a few places that are open; two that I know of are diningcity.com/rome and ristorantidiroma.it.
