We're not foodies nor late-night diners and usually just wander until we see something interesting.

I checked the Borghese Gallery the other day, and could not make a reservation past 03 Feb, but even their January dates were not fully booked. Do you think I would be safe to wait until we arrive in Rome to reserve?
As far as Uffizi the Accademia in Florence, am I safe to wait? Would it be okay to ask my hotel in Rome to make the reservations? We are arriving in Florence on a Saturday afternoon, so I'm planning to go to both locations on Sunday. There's not a whole lot of wiggle room there. =)
And finally, we will be in Rome on Valentines Day. This is not a huge holiday for me, so I'm not looking for something special. But we will have to eat somewhere. I've been reading posts here and on several other boards as well as reading discount travel package Rome food blogs, so I have a (growing) list of restaurants I'm interested in. Do I need to book soon? Or wait til I'm there and do everything 24-48 hours ahead?
Other than that - if you will be in a place several days I think you an wait to get reservations (but only because it is Feb.) For restaurant reservations I would definitely wait - and have a chance to check out the restaurants.
That makes a lot of sense. =) We are actually in Florence 3 nights, discount travel package but one of those days is in transit from Rome (Saturday), and another is a Monday, discount travel package so many of the big things are closed. Sunday is our best shot at both Uffizi the Accademia.
discount travel package I'm a little confused. Are you wondering whether it's OK to ask the Rome hotel to make your Florence museum reservations? Are you staying in an apartment in Florence? Unless I was truly desperate for help and/or staying in a 4-5 star hotel, I would probably only ask a hotel to make museum reservations in their city. A few people here have commented that their hotel charged a fee for this service, but I've never experienced discount travel package that though I could see them asking you to cover the cost of a phone call to another city. If I was asking the Rome hotel for this 'favor,' I would definitely offer up-front to pay any cost the hotel would incur.
Several years ago, the receptionist at our Milan hotel was quite disappointed we hadn't asked for help in getting Last Supper discount travel package reservations. Ever since, I don't hesitate to ask. Can't hurt. Same with restaurant reservations if you've identified specific places you want to go to.
We're not foodies nor late-night diners discount travel package and usually just wander until we see something interesting. We've never made a rez more than a day in advance, and we travel in October which is a much more popular month than February.
Yes, it was just a thought since the schedule discount travel package is a little tight. All our hotels in Italy advertise that they will happily (and for free) make reservations for their guests. I admit I just don't really know the etiquette or the timing requirements.
I would definitely ask the Rome hotel to get the Borghese reservation and the Florence hotel to get your Uffizi and Accademia reservations. I would also try to see the Bargello Museum in Florence. It's open mornings every day of the week.
People have not only reported paying more when their hotel books, but also not able to change a reservation time without a big fee. I would book directly with the Uffizi as it often has lines. I've never needed a reservation for the Accademia (visited discount travel package multiple times) and never had to wait in line more than 10 minutes (high season), but always visited discount travel package in the afternoon. They are usually busier in the morning.
