We stopped in for a quick snack after a tour. I had a caffe latte and my husband had a light beer. My coffee was delicious as all the coffee in Italy is!!! We shared a Diavola pizza and it was delicious. The salami was indeed spicy and we loved it. This place was a typical outside pizzeria. When my husband ordered his beer, he didn't realize it was so big. We laughed and I shared it with him. read more

This covered patio pizzeria has a variety of dishes from salads to pizzas, and from appetizers to pasta. On hot days, they offer cooling fans with mist, for their covered patio. Prices were fairly reasonable for being in a popular area. We ordered bruschetta, pizza, cocktails. Everything was very tasty. We liked it. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, this is a good casual place for lunch or dinner. We would return. read more

Absolutely amazing! Their sister restaurant, Ristorante Iari The Vino, was full, but the host and waiter, Angelo, let us know about Ristorante Pizzeria Imperiale and we're so glad he did! We had pizza, homemade pasta bolognese, ravioli and lamb chops with their Chianti finished off with panna cotta and lemon cello for dessert and devoured it all! Everything was scrumptious - all three of our kids loved the food and the service and loved Angelo even more! Highly recommend this restaurant! Great for couples, perfect for families. read more

Pizzeria Imperiale - Salmon and mushroom pizza - Pizza Near Me - Rome, RM

On our way to the Coliseum/forum, we stopped here for lunch. It was packed as you expect a popular location to be. They seated us outside to the right corner looking into the street/gas stop. We ordered the house red and it was great! My husband and I shared a Margherita pizza which was delicious! We also ordered the rice balls. It was tough to eat. The rice was undercooked, then fried. Perhaps it's a one time fluke but since I make this dish at home with left over risotto, I know what to expect. As with all Italian restaurants, one should never expect quick service. I have no issue with that as I'm very familiar. The servers don't all speak English, or speak it well. You're in Italy! It helps if you learn few key phrases to order food or ask for things. The staff weren't super friendly but were very efficient. Every single time someone was filling up diesel next to us, it was horrible! It wasn't constant but enough to bother us. Because of this, we couldn't wait to leave. I wish there was a clear plastic separator to prevent this unpleasantness. The restrooms are inside the restaurant. They are small and not the cleanest (as most restrooms are in Italy). It's a convenient spot across from the Forum, near the "wedding cake". Is this a spot I want to return to? No. Too many options in this area to have to smell diesel while I dine. read more

This is a bit of an overpriced tourist trap. We were ensnared by being hungry and extremely tired from walking all day. The kids got chicken fettuccini Alfredo and my daughter even said beforehand you know a place is a tourist trap when it has that on the menu. But she wanted to try it and regretted her decision afterward. My husband got the beef steak and I got the t-bone. We should've probably known not to order steak in Italy but I was a little tired of pasta and pizza. Both steaks were very tough to eat. The Chianti was the best part of my meal. And it's a nice place to sit and rest after a long day of sight seeing. Good thing tips aren't really a thing in Europe because our waiter went missing for awhile. read more

Best seafood risotto. EVER. My son does not like Italian food. He had a bite of my dish - seafood risotto - and he changed his mind. It was so good we came back for dinner, on the same day! Pasta vongole was amazing as well. read more

Fantastic service and food for an excellent price. The pizza was wonderful. The waiter was so attentive and even went out of his way to make it right when something of ours was delivered late. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Easily accessible and close to Colosseum and Roman Forum. read more

Food tastes like bad cafeteria grub. I initially ordered a pasta dish with amatriciana sauce that was so bad that I had to send it back to the kitchen (which I've never done before). I got a calamari dish as a replacement that was more edible but very mediocre.The pizza we ordered was also bad. It tasted like a defrosted one from the supermarket. Avoid this place at all costs unless you have nowhere else to go. I'm sure there are better places to eat nearby. read more

This restaurant has a great, classic Italian menu with perfect prices. I got something simple-spaghetti bolognese-and it was good, but the serving wasn't as generous as I had hoped. My mom got the seafood pasta and that came with a huge shrimp that she devoured. My dad got the veal saltimbocca with a side of potatoes. The meal was good and the outdoor cafeteria was relaxing. read more

Fried stuffed olives with pork and great mushroom pizza. It's just what you need after a long day of walking around. The outdoor seating is wonderful and the ability to not be harassed about buying socks by walking street vendors is much better. While the sauce is ok and holds its own against the crust, it comes out unsliced which is a bit jarring to tear at pizza like a savage. But the winner in this is the olives...holy mackerel... I'm going to have to marry someone that can make these. read more

Good pizza, pasta, and wine! The waiter hummed a fun Italian tune as he served everyone.

Yes it's a tourist setup. Should you care? no. Place has tasty pizza/pasta to put in your mouth while walking around Rome. Don't listen to the snobs. My friend Kenneth and I did lunch. As a rule when unsure we both order something and agree to split. I got spicy salami pizza, he got a spicy pasta dish who's name evades me. Two beers. Was fantastic. For business folks they take American Express!!! read more

Excellent setting, however it doesn't matter if the food is absolutely terrible. I never write a review, but god damn this food was so bad I just have to warn all of you guys. I had the fried calamari, and margarita pizza and I've got to say its probably the worst food Ive had in Rome so far. The calamari was super fishy as if they bought rotten calamari or frozen calamari from the supermarket. The pizza, you can literally buy a better slice from a dollar pizza store down in new york. All of us were talking how bad it is and people who ate around us were saying the same thing as well. If you are going to eat food, make sure to go to areas that aren't a tourist trap because this restaurant is the definition of that read more

Stumbled upon this place while waiting for a guided tour of the Colosseum/Roman Forum. It's a very quick walk (~7min) from the B Line Colosseo first floor exit (take a right upon exit, then a right at the first street you encounter). We were promptly greeted and seated by a host. Wait staff was extremely accommodating (and tolerant of our mostly English!). We ordered a Bloody Mary and a Hurricane to begin. SUPER yummy, we were very impressed. For our main courses we ordered a pizza with Italian sausage and mushrooms, and another with mushrooms and Parma ham (Prosciutto). We were BLOWN AWAY by these pizzas (see photo). We adored the sauce (not acidic in the least!) and the toppings were in the perfect proportion. The crust was ultra crispy and slightly charred around the edges, though a little softer in the middle (not in a bad way!). Our pizzas were approx. $10.50 euro each. What a bargain! An entire pizza EASILY filled us up. I cannot recommend this place enough. It's a wonderful place for tourists looking for a good pizza and a drink after a long day! read more

After a visit to the colosseum and Palidium(across the street) we stopped here for lunch. Great pizza and pasta dishes. Beer was ice cold. Outside seating under umbrellas with fans. The food was a 5, but service alittle slow. I wasn't in a hurry but if you are plan extra time. We were here for lunch and it was quite busy though. read more

Good located place and staff is also nice. I got my pizza delayed but no compliment, cuz it was good. Paid for a pizza and a coke 14 euros. Also nice terasse. read more

The food was good service was a bit slow but heck they are crowded there is always some give and take, pricing was just right.

Good enough food near the Roman Forum. We ate the pizza and it was okay. Nothing to write home about but good after a long morning.

Brooooooo. Just cuz a restaurant opens near the colosseum as a tourist trap doesn't mean you cook up garbage in the back and serve it up. Even your fucking "lemon fanta" was asscheeks cuz it wasn't even Fanta. Shit was called freedea lemon soda. Don't come here ever please I beg you guys goto the snack bar two stores down and get some ice cream. read more

If you ever find yourself in Rome this is the place to be. This restaurant was so good I went there twice on my trip to Italy. The restaurant is located in the nightlife area of Rome, so you could be out really late at night and there will people out and about. The restaurant itself was very clean and nice. It was trendy, romantic, and hipster all in one. You could sit outside the restaurant, or you can sit inside where there are tables and comfy chairs and the walls are painted fun colors with pictures of quotes and Italian food and other fun things, then you can sit where I did which was in the back which was another outside seating area that was full of green shrubbery and had a garden feel and there were lights that hung above. It was beautiful. So the setting for this place is excellent Ther service was great they were really fast and attentive and the food itself was delicious. I had the margarita pizza with buffalo cheese which was really good and the crust was cooked perfectly and the buffalo cheese is now my favorite thing in the whole world. I also had Tonnarelli Cacico e Pepe which is a really popular dish in Italy, but I did not like it. It has a really strong taste for my palate it was just too much, I had to keep chugging my water after each bite. Also here I had the meat and cheese plate which was perfect. The meat and the cheese plate is what Italy is all about with the cheese, bread, and meat so that was great as well. read more

We had an absolute blast here. chianti was rich, sauvignon blanc was grassy and mellow, Moscato was sweet as apple cider. Everyone's food was awesome, seating was really cool with clear outdoor shutters so we were still in outdoor seating. read more

I came to Rome to see beautiful monuments and snippets of an ancient culture. Unfortunately, I can no longer do so after getting FUCKED by this restaurant. When my spaghetti came out, the meat sauce smelled like my grandmothers queef. A quick glance to my right revealed my friends undercooked squid. When I say undercooked, I am talking squidward testicles. However, I am not one too complain as the bowel movement I had 3 minutes into my meal was phenomenal in their 3 x 4 bathroom. All in all, I may have to slay some dragons in the colosseum to unleash all the anger and genital warts this meal gave me. read more

I had a wonderful meal there. The waiter was pleasant and patient, and the pizza was probably the best I've ever eaten in my life. The ice cream there was also delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant too. I highly recommend this restaurant and intend to go there again the next time I'm in Rome. read more

Good service,good pizzeria,good dessert，I'd like to recommend it if you visit Colosseo.

On our first evening in Roma we wanted to a nice pizza from ital. So we went to this lovely pizzeria. After a few moments we got our lunch which the friendly personal brought us. It was a very nice thin pizza. In the end I am able to say that that was one of my best pizza I have ever eaten. So our Rom trip can go on. read more

Shared a melon and prosciutto appetizer and a mushroom pizza. Both very good. Friendly staff, nice table on the edge of the patio. Streets in Rome center are closed to traffic on Sunday, so very pleasant. Not sure how it would be with traffic, as the patio sits next to a gas station (which in Rome are located on the side of the street). Didn't charge us "Coperto" or bring bread to table. We are finding restaurants charging 1-2 Euros per person for "pane" even if you don't ask for or want the bread. read more

I rarely leave poor reviews, but I made an exception for this place because of the we were treated.. On our last night in Rome, we wanted pizza and dessert to go. We had been all over Italy for a couple of weeks, so when we picked out our dessert from the case I didn't even look at the price because all of our desserts ranged from 2-3.8 euros. When the clerk handed us the receipt, I could not believe it. Each of our desserts from this place were 6 euros!! When I told the clerk, oops, we don't want them anymore, these are too expensive, he and another employee claimed they could not refund our money and were insistent about this. Had they attempted to compensate us in some other way, that would have been fine, but they did not. The pizza was mediocre at best, the salad was good, and our desserts double the price were just OK because we had much better at other places. read more

I had the most amazing and scrumptious pizza here, muy fantastico, this is exactly what you expect when you come here, this blows little caesars out of the water 25/8!!! I would live here and eat the food off of the floor!!! read more

There seem to be a fair amount of negative reviews as to the food. I can't speak for the entire menu as I have only eaten there once after visiting the Colosseum, however the pizza we ordered was fabulous (buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, and rocket). It was seriously delicious and I recommend ordering this if dining here. read more

The food was decent but nothing memorable. They didn't really have a large selection of beer. (I think they only had one). The service was also decent but nothing great. If you're in the coliseum area its worth stopping by for an inexpensive meal. read more
