The Taverna dei Fori Imperiali is quaint and in a gorgeous ancient narrow street. The food is pretty good. That said, it didn't live up to the reviews I'd read on TripAdvisor or elsewhere. We had saved this restaurant for our final of 8 nights in Rome and it was a disappointment. We had a reservation and arrived at 7:45... more

Tired after arriving in Rome, and wanting to eat nearby, the owner of the Hotel Nerva recommended the La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali. What a great recommendation this was! This restaurant, with reasonable prices for Italy, had amazing food - some of the best I had on my trip. In addition, the staff were extremely helpful and attentive. I would... more

Their homemade pasta dishes are especially excellent. Last time we made the mistake, however,... more

I was really pleased with La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali. The food was delicious. The portions were not huge but they were certainly sufficient. On the two occasions that I visited the restaurant I had two pasta courses and one meat course, both of which was very good. The service was excellent. The head waiter Aldo, son of the chef... more

This restaurant is family owned, the food was excellent as was the service. We ate outside, so I really didn't pay that much attention to the seating inside. We liked it so well, we had dinner there the second night too. Claudia speaks English, as does the rest of the family I believe. It is very close to the Colloseum... more
