Relatively small group of 8 made this a nice tour. Valerio was an excellent tour guide. He was personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He pointed out landmarks during the walking tour and served as a photographer, as needed. It started with a deli that had small tables in the back with a charcuterie board at each table with traditional meats and cheeses. Red and white wines were included. The 2nd stop included the appetizer "suppli," which was delicious. More wine of course. 3rd was stop for the entree which included two traditional Italian pastas, one with a red sauce and the other with a white sauce. Our last stop was for gelato. All the portions were generous and the food was all delicious. Staff at all locations was very friendly, helpful, and kind.
