View Restaurant near Spanish Steps

We will be celebrating our 10 anniversary in Rome and will be staying near the Spanish Steps. I am looking for a view first then the meal second. I am sure most meals in Rome are really good but I want the view to be the focus. We don't mind walking a bit to get to a good view. We are not stuffy and my husband would prefer to not have to wear jacket and tie. I have researched a lot and can't seem to find many options with views. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Aroma, near the Colosseum.

Or Imago at the top of the hotel Hassler, which is on top of the Spanish steps.

Neither one is cheap and both are gourmet sort of nouvelle cuisine restaurants (= rich in presentation, poor in quantity and not necessarily traditional "Roman grandmas'" kitchen) but if a view and fancy environment is important to you, there you go. The Aroma is a little more traditional Italian as the chef there (Giuseppe di Iorio) is into respect for tradition. The famous chef of Imago (Francesco Apreda) is instead more into Italian+Oriental fusion (which I call California Nonsense).

With the Spanish Steps under repair and under scaffolding make sure that that isn't the view you are trying to get...
