Why Choose This Tour

This tour was a wonderful experience in the Trastavere neighborhood of Rome, which felt out of the tourist areas and made the experience feel more authentic. The neighborhood is vibrant and bustling, and the walking (which we did quite a lot of) played a huge part in the enjoyment. But the food—wow! We tried two different kinds of pizza, one with potatoes on it (yummy!). So, so good. We tried an unusual battered and fried spaghetti on a stick, which was a delicious appetizer. We had an interesting street food that was some sort of fried popover with cheese at the center. We stopped at a delicatessen with amazing roasted pork and prosciutto. We dined at a Trattoria that served us an amazing pasta dish with wine (most of our group doesn't drink but it was available). The final course—delicious gelato done authentically (not the poofy gelato with air pumped into it for tourists). Our guide was a young man with great enthusiasm for all the foods and made the evening so much fun. If you are going to Italy you must do at least one food tour like this. We did another food tour in Verona which was very different from this one but both incredibly informative and fun. Food tours are a great change of pace from the history/museum/archaeological tours, and I highly recommend this one!

Luca took us on a food tour of the Trastevere. We walked around the beautiful Trastevere area and tried an excellent mix of traditional Italian food and adventurous, exquisite new dishes. It was fantastic and he had copious knowledge about Italian food and culture. The pork bread was phenomenal, the supri was superb, and the gelato at the end of the tour was fantastic. We are so grateful to him for an amazing experience.
