About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Romantic

Il Ristorante Traiano domina il centro storico di Roma con la sua sala principale che si affaccia sui Fori e su Piazza Venezia e che è adiacente ai Mercati di Traiano e all’omonima colonna. Una nuova idea di esperienza gastronomica che fa della memoria il suo punto di partenza per una cucina elegante e raffinata.

La creatività e la professionalità della squadra, composta da chef Alessandro Zitelli, sommelier e personale di sala, rendono questo luogo un’occasione unica per scoprire la vera cucina italiana.

Ma Traiano non è solo cucina, è anche un luogo dove trascorrere una serata piacevole dopo cena, gustando un cocktail o un calice di vino selezionato con cura dalla carta che comprende etichette nazionali ed internazionali.

La Champagnerie, situata al piano inferiore del ristorante, è un’esperienza di lusso immersa nella storia di Roma, antica e moderna.

Il ristorante fa parte della storia di Roma e della sua cucina, essendo sorto sulle ceneri della vecchia Taberna Ulpia.

Purtroppo, la mia esperienza al ristorante è stata deludente. Il cibo non è stato all'altezza delle mie aspettative. In particolare, le polpette avevano un sapore sgradevole e la carbonara era troppo salata. Inoltre, il servizio è stato pessimo e non ho ricevuto l'attenzione che mi aspettavo. Spero che vengano presi provvedimenti per migliorare la qualità del cibo e del servizio

Una vera truffa romana. Il menù non è quello delle foto viste sul sito, solo quattro scelte prese da una rosticceria ,preparate la settimana prima e riscaldate al microonde. Evidentemente hanno cambiato gestione e continuano a godere della reputazione del gestore precedente. Personalmente credo non abbiano uno chef, per me sono i camerieri (due) che vanno in cucina riscaldano quanto già ci preparato (compresi i cibi impannati) e li servono ai tavoli. Non abbiamo mangiato nulla e pagato, in due, 76 euro. Alla larga.

Quite simply the worst service we have ever experienced. Astounding given the place was absolutely empty. Or maybe that is not so surprising after all. Shame as the food was actually quite good.

Good location, view and service. But food is really sub-par, with few customers other than us, even at prime time Easter Holiday…

The food was an absolute disaster!!! The bread was stale, the risotto undercooked and hard, the fish all dried out and super salty… We basically only ate parts of the appetizer and the desert of our NYE menu value 150€ p/p excl. drinks. The waiters were stressed and rushed because there were so many complaints, but they did their best and remained friendly and apologetical. Some tables even left the restaurant after the second course. Unfortunately this was also my partners 40th birthday (which I told the restaurant in advance but they completely ignored it) and I wanted to make this evening very special. I’m glad she is a good sport and we took it with humor. It’s very sad about the money we’ve spent though. We could have had a week worth of fantastic pasta and pizza for that.

It was one of the WORST dinner experiences of my life. Pre-paid €500 (Very Expensive!!!) for New Year’s Even dinner last night. First, there was no service, had to ask couple times to order some wine. The food was absolutely HORRIBLE! One of the dishes was a cod fish that seemed like a rubber, impossible to eat. After complaining, the server stopped coming to our table all together. We left without finishing the dinner (we had 3 courses left) that we already paid for but did not even want to try. After talking to the manager she was very apologetic about the situation. She admitted the problems going on that evening, several people had complained. The manager stated that she would do her best to get us a refund, after discussing with the owner, because of our horrible experience. We ended up getting pizza to go on the way back to our place. Beautiful place w/ a nice view. Nothing else. Never got a refund

Staff was very good. Spoke English well and did a good job recommending reasonably priced wine. Food was fine, but not remarkable. Only 3 or 4 tables seated on a Friday night, versus other restaurants where tables were hard to find. I don’t regret it, but wouldn’t go back.
