About this activity

During this 4-hour walking food tour in Rome, we take you off the typical touristic path, to discover the best Rome has to offer. Become immersed in the rich culture and meet the food heroes, who are at the heart of Italian food traditions. In between tastings, we share an insight into the history, architecture and local secrets, which define the Eternal City.

Begin your tour with a typical Italian breakfast, picking out your preference in coffee while watching your cannoli being freshly made. After breakfast you will be taken to the Paciotti gourmet shop, voted number 1 on trip advisor. Here you will sample a variety of italy’s favorite cheeses and meats, as well as 25 year aged balsamic vinegar, truffles, and fine wine.

Following Paciotti, we move on to the legendary Pizzarium to meet Gabriele Bonci, known as the Michelangelo of Pizza, to taste the best pizza in Rome. With over 80 different varieties made daily, expect to have a difficult time choosing your favorites.

The largest food market in Rome is next, with delicious food tastings and introductions to local Roman families, who have been running the stalls for generations. Real buffalo mozzarella, eggplant parmesan, bruschetta are some of the highlights you will get to enjoy.

We then take you to an award-winning restaurant, with a panoramic view of the neighborhood to taste freshly made Roman pasta, including carbonara, amatriciana and cacio e pepe, accompanied with wine.

We end our tour with an education in gelato at the Fatamorgana gelateria. Discover how to discover real gelato then struggle to decide which flavors to choose with over 60 available.

Devo was a terrific guide - so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We learned a lot and tasted so many foods. My favorites were the truffle cheese and the Bonci pizzas at Pizzarium. One of the best things to do in Rome!

We took this tour the first day in Rome! We loved it and learned so much! We went back to several of the stops during our stay in Rome! Raluca was awesome, very friendly and informative! This was definitely one of the highlights on our trip! We highly recommend this tour and recommend to take it in the beginning of your trip, to help you understand some of the little things. Like what wine to look for, the difference between buffalo mozzarella and cow mozzarella, the tastes of aged balsamic, how to order at a bar (coffee shop) and what to look for in authentic foods of Italy! Thanks Raluca for a great tour!

Raluca was an excellent, informative and full of energy tour specialist. Her good nature and fun personality made this my favorite Rome tour above the Vatican and the Colosseum. Not only did we taste authentic Italian foods and wine along the way but the explanation was very interesting. Thanks Raluca making this such an exciting adventure.
