Meet your guide at Piazza Farnese
Lined with quaint cafes and bursting with local life, Piazza Farnese is the perfect spot to meet your guide and begin your foodie adventure.
Roman Salumeria
First up is a family-owned deli serving prosciutto, salami, cheeses, and local wines, and offering secrets of century-old techniques.
Baccalà
Less romantically known as salted cod, this traditional dish involves salting, drying, and rehydrating cod for a flaky yet tender texture.
Saltimbocca alla Romana
A must-try is the flavor-packed Saltimbocca alla Romana, made with thin slices of veal that are topped with prosciutto and sage.
Homemade pasta
Now, it’s time to discover the refined tastes of homemade pasta at a local eatery. Savor the quality ingredients cooked to perfection.

Tours can go both ways and I’m happy to say this one was very good. Hilaria is a nice and kind tour guide and the choices of places we stop to try the delicious Italian cuisine were very special and pleasant for their cosy and typical atmosphere as well.

This was far and away the best part of our 4-day visit to Rome. Our guide, Gabriel, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We learned so much about the history of Rome and the food and loved the different restaurants we visited. We cannot recommend this highly enough!
