Our guide Gabriel was great- he had a lot of good stories and information. We enjoyed all of the food at each of the places we stopped, and had plenty of time to relax and enjoy at each place.

We loved this Food Tour. The variety and quality of the food was great. We learned a lot about Roman food. But the highlight was our tour guide Ilaria! Her knowledge and passion shown through. Even as we were walking between the different venues she told us interesting things about each area. It touched our hearts that she took us to places she had visited as a child and told us her story. Loved it! Ruth & Joe Barrett
Don’t miss out on this tour!

If you want to learn about the food culture of Rome from the locals this is the tour to book! I was in Rome for 4 days, and as a solo traveler, I wanted to include a guided food experience. The tour itself meets in an easy to find location and from there you travel into Trastevere on foot. We had a smaller group of around 11 total and it was a beautiful evening in Rome. Monika was our guide for the evening and she was amazing! She was knowledge, friendly, and funny. We started our journey learning about the history and food culture of the Roman people and our first stop was a Salumeria for some prosciutto and cheese tasting (surprise: there’s wine everywhere!). From there we walked down to check out some street food in the fisherman’s district. The fried fish was AMAZING - or maybe it was just the 10 miles I had walked that day combined with the hunger. Simple and so flavorful.. and of course washed down with more wine. The next stop was dinner! We made our way into the heart of Trastevere and stopped in for a tasting of carbonara and ragú. During dinner you get a chance to truly appreciate Roman culture by stopping to appreciate the experience with your guide and group. We started the tour as strangers but by this time we were sharing stories and toasting drinks to each others health and laughing. I really appreciated that the tour guide, Monika, took time to show us some subtle Roman gestures - for example - how they pour wine or how they toast drinks. She was also sure to be our grandmother during the tour to make sure we all cleaned out plates - which is expected ! So my advice to you is - come open minded, come with an open heart, and above all come with an empty belly because you will leave so full! I was worried about these tours being touristy or gimmicky but each one has genuinely been a unique experience of a lifetime. Thanks again to the tour guy staff, event coordinators, and cool tour guides like Monika. I can’t wait to return and experience Rome again.
Great experience!

I booked this tour on my first day in Rome as I didn’t know what and where to eat. Our tour guide Monika is very sweet lady and very knowledgeable. She took us to 4 places and I ate delicious food that I wouldn’t know how to order on my own. She also introduced history of Rome as we enjoyed our food. We also got to know each other in our tour group. Fun tour to satisfy your stomach and more. Highly recommend!
Wonderful time!

Our family of five really enjoyed this food tour. The food was delicious, Monica was very funny and very friendly and she always had a lot to say about the history of the food and it somehow made it taste better. 😁 the food was absolutely delicious and my favorite was the deep salted fried fish. Yum! That was unexpected. I like the way Monika made everybody feel comfortable and by the end of the night we were all friends. ♥️

Our guide Dmitri took our family of four on a very enjoyable food tour in the Trastevere area. He was very fun and engaging, and had a lot of stories and information about the history and culture of Rome as we walked to the local shops to sample the delicious food and wine. We would definitely recommend this activity to anyone interested in learning about authentic Roman food and traditions!
Great night and introduction to foods of Rome

My mother, sister and I loved our food tour with Dimitri. He is so knowledgable, not only about the food but also the regions the different foods come from and their preparations. He is very kind and personable and makes a point to connect with all the tour guests and learn about the regions they are from. We recommend this tour to anyone. A very good deal- totally worth the price. It was fun drinking wine with you, Dimitri!

Our recent experience on the Trestavere Food Tour was wonderful. Or tour guide, Monika, provided excellent examples of traditional Roman fare. She also shared detailed history on the various locations. Our group size was small and much more intimate. We even went for cocktails with some group members once the tour was complete. Trestavere can’t be missed!
