I was lucky! A friend of mine introduced me to this restaurant - a small, almost hidden in a back street restaurant, with a warmth feel and great food! A definitive and easy choice if you are in Rome and want to taste the real deal.
La Taverna dei Fori Imperiale is exactly where it's name points out - right next to the Imperial Forum in the center of Rome. It is in a small, cobblestone, windy street that runs kind of parallel to Via Cavour. You have to look and find a small wooden door, and then to get inside, to a small, cramped dining room, that clearly has too many tables and seats. But the warmth and the nice waiters make up for that.
Ah! And the food! The food is authentically Roman and, let me tell you, delicious! Even someone (me) who doesn't like pate cheered for the "crostini di fegattini alla Toscana" (it involves liver paté...) . Another good anti-pasto is the "guarciale amatriciano con brsuchetta" (combining a typical roman bacon with a bruschetta) or the simple and typical Parma ham with mozzarella or melon. For the "primo" (your first entrée), I would suggest that you ask the waiter for what's not in the menu - many times, you'll have great surprises, believe me! Still, you will find the raviolli with pesto of the canello with truffes to be amazing choices - and, if they are not available, I can easily endorse any pasta entrée in the menu. Ah! And don't forget a nice wine to go along your meal - it will make you feel even better, believe me!
This is a great place to get a real taste of Rome and Roman food! It is not too touristical, but the waiters speak very good English and are extremely nice. And the food my friends, the food is amazing!
