Additional food and drink
Meet your guide at Piazza Farnese
Meet your group and guide at the fountain in the beautiful Piazza Farnese. This charming square, lined with quaint cafes and bursting with local life, is the perfect, picturesque spot to begin your culinary journey into the heart of authentic Roman food culture.
Roman Salumeria (Deli) tasting
Next, you’ll head to a family-owned deli, a local institution for over 100 years. You’ll sample expertly cured prosciutto and salamis, local cheeses, and regional wines, all while learning the secrets of century-old techniques from the family.
Traditional Baccalà (salted Cod)
After that, you’ll discover the history and flavor of baccalà, or salted cod. Your guide will share the fascinating story of why this Atlantic fish is a beloved local favorite in landlocked Rome as you enjoy this traditional street food favorite with another glass of local wine.
Sit-down three-course Roman dinner
Then, it's time to sit down and relax at a local Trastevere restaurant for an authentic three-course Roman meal. You’ll sample an appetizer, two popular Roman pasta dishes, and the famous Saltimbocca alla Romana (veal, prosciutto, and sage), all paired with local wines.
Digestivo (Limoncello)
No authentic Italian meal is complete without a digestivo. You’ll cap off your flavorful three-course meal with a delightful limoncello, a bright, citrus-flavored liquor long loved for its perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors.

Dimitri was a good guide and made several recommendations of places to see and eat that were not on the tour. Fortunately the hailstorm was short and ended before the tour actually started.
Sooo Much FOOD, sooo much FUN

Our guide Fredarica (spelling?) was excellent. A great lineup of foods to taste and all were very good. She showed us other things along the way that were very interesting. You need more people like her.

My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves on this three-hour walking tour while visiting four local restaurants/food shops. The food was wonderful, but our guide Claudio really made the tour. He supplied us with some history and the architectural significance of several sites we passed by. The pace wasn't over strenuous, and we would highly recommend this tour, especially with Claudio, who was very personable and answered our small group's various questions. We tasted cheeses, meats, pastas, the best fried cod I've ever had anywhere, and finally, yummy gelato. The first three stops included wine to enhance the flavors. Money very well spent! A+++++

This was such a fun tour! The Roman Guy never disappoints. We met great people from all over the world, and Marco, our guide, was outstanding - knowledgeable, friendly and a true local Roman. He took us to places we never would have discovered on our own. The food was delicious, the wine was flowing and the atmosphere made the whole evening feel special. Highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to eat well, learn a little and enjoy great company. 10/10
