Taste of Rome: Very Small Group Food Tour
Overview
While we are all familiar with typical Italian dishes such as pizza and gelato, only a few non-Italians have ever heard of “suppli”, “saltimbocca alla Romana” or “maritozzo”. Besides coffee, pasta, and gelato, you will get to taste the real Italian and Roman specialties, developed throughout history under different circumstances, but still living and developing today.
Join us on this very small-group tour and discover bits and pieces of culinary history that make Italian cuisine what it is today.
Meet the local foodie districts:
- Testaccio for the morning departures;
- Campo de' Fiori and Trastevere for the afternoon departures.
- A very small group of a maximum of eight people guaranteed;
- More than 15 traditional food tastings (savory and sweet);
- Three types of wines,
- Learn the secrets and legends of Roman cuisine,
- Learn about architectural and artistic surroundings that make Rome an open-air museum.
Learn not only what locals eat and drink but also how they do it!
