La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali

Tucked away in the cobblestone lanes of Rione Monti, this beloved trattoria serves textbook carbonara, amatriciana, cacio e pepe, and saltimbocca alla romana.

Owned and operated by the Di Salvo family, La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali is where Roman locals and discerning travelers converge. Chef Alessio crafts silky handmade tonnarelli pasta, combining aged pecorino romano with guanciale crisped to golden perfection. The walls are lined with family photographs, wine bottles, and notes from international visiting chefs who come here to study authentic Roman cuisine.
