Itinerary
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.
Sample traditional baccalà (salted Cod) or supplì
After that, you'll stop for another beloved Roman street food. Depending on the day, you'll try either crispy supplì, a deep-fried rice croquette with a gooey mozzarella centre, or baccalà, lightly battered salted cod. As you snack, your guide will share the story behind these local favourites over another glass of regional 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.

We loved our tour with Hilaria (Hilary). She took us to places she had visited since a child which means they were well established and enjoyed by many. She was very informative of the area as well as recognized and loved by multiple restaurant owners and servers throughout the evening that weren’t even part of our tour! You could tell she was part of the local community which made the tour that much more enjoyable. She also gave us several tips on places to see that were not necessarily tourist attractions but interesting to us just the same. Lovely evening with a wonderful tour guide, highly recommend!
Experience Rome through it’s food!

Wow, what a fantastic experience. Make sure to bring your appetite. Our guide Marilena took us to several of the best spots the locals go to eat. Honestly, I eat pasta every weekend and my wife and I both cook but the pasta we had on this tour was the best I have ever experienced! Don’t tell my Mom!! We also had baccala (fried Cod), again I grew up with this food but here in Rome it was just different. It was so delicious. Of course we had wine and meats and cheese from a deli, espresso, and gelato to finish. It was a gastronomic experience you don’t want to miss. We will be back in Rome in 2028 and will definitely do this tour again. Buon appetito, ciao for now.

This was an amazing addition to our trip to Rome! The food was great and the drinks were plenty. I enjoyed the walking to allow the food to settle in between locations. Our tour guide, Federica was well educated on the cuisine and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour and The Tour Guy company. This was my second tour with them and would book with them again.

Sam was the most amazing guide for the evening. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience worthwhile. Every stop, we were provided with some history of the area and the food or wine, which added to the overall experience. Everything we sampled was wonderful, and we cannot think of anything more we could want. Thanks again, Sam!

This was a very fun evening learning about Roman food and customs. We started in a wonderful meat & cheese shop, then across the river for some fried fish, then onto a quaint little restaurant for a Roman meal and off to gelato for dessert. Monika was amazing, very knowledgeable and very engaging. I recommend this food tour, we really enjoyed ourselves.
