La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali

A must-go when in Rome. Aldo and Claudia (siblings) are wonderful host and chefs and this spot always has my favorite meal of the trip.

Perfect if you want authentic local restaurant. Wonderful hosts. And no English speaking patrons. Delightful!!

Great food quality and standard. Service attitude can be improved though.

Ambiance is a cozy, local, authentic family restaurants. Nice wine list with various prices and wine varieties. Staff was mostly welcoming, yet quite hectic. Liver pate was excellent. Dishes were good, timing of appetizers, salads and mains overlapped, which is not ideal. Overall, a 7.5/10.

Very busy for lunch. Felt more like the pace of an American restaurant. The crostini appetizer liver pâté was delicious while the spinach crostini was a bit salty. The tuna appetizer was tasty. Cod main course was decent but lacking a bit of flavor. Felt a bit rushed by the servers. We have had nicer and more typically slower paced meals in Italy, so this place was not our favorite.

Amazing food, staff, and experience! We would definitely recommend it!

Been in Italy for 8 days and first really exceptional meal.

We have been in Italy for 17 days and eaten MANY delicious meals, but this was “hands-down” our favorite!

Our best meal in Rome! Such inspiring and delicious food.

The food was good and the owners very nice:) Although we misunderstood that it was a tapas-type of menu.

The food was amazing, the staff was very attentive, and the decibels were lower than many restaurants. I alerted them that I was vegetarian and they made sure to make me feel welcome. Highly recommend!

Ristorante era molto frenetico. Ho ricevuto la cena più rapidamente. Un po stressante per noi.

Fabulous food & brilliant staff. Would highly recommend a visit when in Rome

It was wonderful! The food was delicious and the service was exceptional, I highly recommend for an authentic experience.

Buono, però non fantastico. Normale, aspettavo di più. Grazie mille

Exceptional combination of flavours - chicken thighs in rosemary and olive, courgette slices in mint with roast potatoes. Perfect with the house red. Superb meal.

The meal began well, nice table, classic menu and a good, reasonable wine list. Starters were lovely (tuna and Aubergine parmigiana). After that everything went downhill. Waiter brought 2nd course so quickly our starter plates were still on the table, just finished. The lamb chops were over cooked and tasteless and the cacio e pepe very bland.

La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali in Monti is a gem for those craving authentic Italian cuisine near the Colosseum. The friendly staff promptly seated us for a delightful Saturday lunch. We started with delicious eggplant and artichoke appetizers, followed by equally impressive veal and pasta dishes. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience that left us satisfied and eager to return. Grazie for the delightful lunch!

Really nice restaurant ,excellent food ‘,excellent service, in a good location

Thank you for a wonderful meal, atmosphere and generosity. We truly enjoyed your restaurant.

Great service and great food. Really like this place alot

Lovely food pleasant staff good location we would definitely go back

Great restaurant with a very good service. Wine recommendation was also to the point.

Es wäre alles perfekt gewesen, wenn man nicht ab einem gewissen Zeitpunkt das Gefühl gehabt hätte, sie möchten den Tisch nochmal verkaufen. Ab dann wurde leider etwas gedrängt! Ansonsten war der Service und das Essen eigentlich sehr sehr gut. Die besten Carbonara, die wir in unserem Leben je gegessen haben!

We love this restaurant! Fabulous food, wine and the warmest of welcomes.

We tried a few appetizers as the main dishes were mostly meat/fish. Everything we tried was really good.

Excellent food and friendly staff, I will always recommend it and book there every time I visit Roma.

It was one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Rome. The food was delicious, the wine was incredible, and the service was amazing. Our waitress was so knowledgeable and gave fantastic recommendations. I highly recommend stopping here for a meal!

Great Hosts, great food, very nice ambiance. We really enjoyed the experience!

Locale molto elegante, personale rapido e qualificato. Molto affabili e cordiali e attenti ai clienti i titolari Aldo e Claudia.

Un personnel extrêmement sympathique et disponible. Des plats de très bon rapport qualité prix. Bien placé

One of best experiences we had in Rome. The veal meatloaf is simply to die for. This is on the top 3 things I have ever eaten. We ended up eating here back to back nights. Wonderful staff, simply awesome food. A must visit.

The male waiter for our table pretty ignorant and rude. Food overpriced for what it was. Would not recommend it at all. Really disappointing evening

Nice atmosphere. Good food and service. Would go again. 😃

This place came highly recommended to us, and I would say it outdid the recommendation! The food was off the charts delicious and the service was outstanding! I would say this is one of my best meals ever!

Nice ambience food was decent servers were friendly and helpful

Upon complaining that the food took too long to be served we (Americans) were told that this wasn’t a fast food restaurant.

Excellent food, service and ambience! Worth taking the time to go 😋

Ordered the ravioli with burrata and anchovy, and the gnocchi with veal ragout, both of which were good, although the ravioli was a bit hard for our taste and could’ve been cooked a little longer. There were two waiters (an Asian guy and an Italian guy with glasses) who were a bit rude, but the two who we presumed were the owners/managers (Italian guy with slicked-back grey hair and a brunette woman with short hair) were very friendly, hospitable and helpful. Good dining option near the Colosseum.

Amazing ambience, warm welcome, delicious food and wine with lots of GF options. We booked again for our final night in Rome.

Wonderful service and GREAT food. When next back in Rome, we will be visiting you again! Thank you La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali team for letting us enjoy your wonderful dishes

fabulous place! went there on a recommendation so booked well in advance, they were fully booked on the saturday night we went there. very attentive and friendly service and the food and wine were wonderful too

The food, service, and ambience was authentic and memorable! Thank you!

Exceptionally good restaurant that never fails to impress, delicious food and lovely atmosphere. Service can be a bit challenged as they are always full, and some staff not as cheerful as management. But always my first, second and sometimes third port of call when in Rome.

Great food and service. Shame that asked to dine outside but this was refused

Awesome food and service! Well taken care of from the moment we arrived!
