Every course seemed authentic and homey. The pasta trio was unforgettable, with the market stop adding so much local flavor. Definitely one of my favorite memories of being in Rome.

It was absolutely stunning to walk through the Testaccio streets in the morning, wine in hand, learning about the meals made with passion. It seemed so authentic, so non-touristy. It couldn't be more-recommended!

Not your average touristy tour! All the flavors were fresh and home-cooked, like the bruschetta that we made ourselves. Also learned a lot about Roman cuisine, which made it more special.

We went as a couple, and we enjoyed it completely. Lots of flavors—cheeses, prosciuttos, mozzarellas, wines—all are locally produced. Nice blend of eating and exploring.

We were not expecting such personal relationships with the suppliers. It is like being greeted by some long-lost friends who just happen to own food stores.

It was more than just the eating. We heard the history that went with each dish, about Roman history, and got to visit the pyramid—I had no idea that Rome had a pyramid.
