Rome Candlelight Wine And Dine In Ancient Ruins Near The Pantheon

Very cool experience. Great food and you don’t get to eat in a BC building every day. Very nice.

We met Eleanor, our amazing host for the evening, and proceeded down to the cavern to begin a dinner experience far beyond our expectations. As we were the only couple booked for the evening, the personalized attention and education on history and culture from Ele and the restaurant staff was outstanding! You will not regret booking this experience! Cannot wait to return and enjoy the wonderful food and cultural discovery again!

Thank you Ellie for a good time. The food was amazing!

Excellent experience. We had already been in Italy for 14 days and were a little tired of guided tours. This was excellent. Very different experience location, explanation of foods, and wine pairings. Highly recommend the experience.

We had a fabulous time with this tour. The food, wine and information that the guide provided was top notch. We were a group of ten and we all loved the evening. When we go back to Italy, we will definitely do this again.

Wonderful experience! Our hosts were amazing and informative, not only of the food and wine pairings but also on the history of Rome. The food and wine was excellent and such a fitting atmosphere in Rome.

We did the candlelight dinner in the Agrippa Roman baths. It was INCREDIBLE!! Silvia was spectacular. I can’t say enough! Wonderful experience!

Ben was a great tour guide. Fun, knowledgeable and easygoing.

Amazing food in an absolutely amazing space , our guide throughout the meal was passionate about both wine and history , we felt special eating quality typical Roman food and wine in a place that is relatively hidden and unknown

Great time! Delicious appetizer, dinner items and desserts, and wine for each course. Very informative hostess who told us a lot about Rome, cooking, the baths. We highly recommend this event. It was great to do!!

Wonderful experience! Learned so much of the history here in Rome. Lily and Daniel were great hosts! Enjoyed learning about the traditional food and wines. It was so enjoyable to meet and interact with the other guests in our group!

Livia was amazing. Her knowledge of the area is unbelievable. She was descriptive, kind and extremely happy and kind. We would definitely go back. The food and the wine were amazing. And to be sitting in the baths, houses, below was amazing.

We had a wonderful time at the dinner. Yummy food and meet some nice people. I strongly recomend this dinner experience!

Food was delicious and Eli was so pleasant and full of facts. Would recommend!

5 stars isn’t enough to leave for Lilly! Impeccable dinner tour from beginning to end. Lilly is a true gem— kind, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome. It was a wonderful atmosphere; and the food and wine pairings were fantastic from start to finish! We couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience! This was an evening we will remember!

We had so much fun enjoying delicious wine and food while learning about the history of Rome and the context surrounding the Agrippa. Asya was so lovely and a fun hostess for the night.

We had a wonderful dinner in a beautiful setting. The history of Agrippa was well done. All in all a wonderful evening

Ellie was amazing! I totally would suggest you do this tour. She was fabulous and food was spectacular.

Andi was amazing Great storyteller and lots of fun ! Food was nice wine was also good ! A great dining experience

Our food and wine tasting experience at Agippa Ancient Roman Baths was unforgettable. Benedetta S was a fabulous host — incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and truly a breath of fresh air. Her passion for Italian culture shone through every moment.The food was incredible. Each dish came with fascinating insights into the ingredients, their origins, and the traditions behind them, which made the tasting feel both immersive and authentic. The wine pairings were perfect, enhancing every flavour and completing the experience with elegance.A wonderful blend of history, culture, and exceptional hospitality. Highly recommended.

Lily is a lovely guide and the location is amazing

Our experience with Lilly was absolutely amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful. The food was phenomenal; it was perfectly portioned, and the sommelier’s pairings were perfect with the dishes. We had the best time and would absolutely recommend!

Wonderful experience. We appreciated you catering the experience to our family with children while also making this a special evening for my wife and I.

Wonderful experience!! Not only was the food and wine a pallet treat, the information that was shared throughout the meal was awesome. Beautiful setting, service and food.

Great review of history of Rome and the venue along with great food among small group of attendees. All was very enjoyable and professional!

Cleire was a great guide! She was fun, personable, and knowledgeable. I would book again.

This candlelit wine and food tasting in Agrippa’s ancient ruins was the perfect ending to our long weekend in Rome. Dining in the old Roman baths created such a unique atmosphere—the perfect blend of romance, culture, and history. Every course was thoughtfully paired and absolutely delicious. We started with a wonderful charcuterie and cheese selection alongside a crisp Prosecco that set the tone for the evening. Next came a flavorful cacio e pepe paired with a light white wine that complemented the dish beautifully. Our third course was a delicious saltimbocca served with a red wine that elevated every bite. We finished with a double feature of tiramisu and a salted caramel tart paired with a dessert wine that was the perfect sweet ending. Every food item had a wine pairing that truly made our taste buds sing. You could tell a lot of thought went into creating an experience where the flavors worked together seamlessly. Our guide, Eleonora, was fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable and spoke five languages, which really shined when another couple in attendance spoke only Spanish. Her ability to connect with everyone and effortlessly move between languages made the experience feel welcoming and inclusive. We often choose private tours, but decided to join the group experience this time, and we’re so glad we did. It was wonderful meeting people from around the world, and Eleonora did an amazing job bringing together different backgrounds into one unified and memorable evening. If you’re looking for an experience that combines exceptional food and wine with history, romance, and genuine human connection, this is one not to miss

I cannot recommend this dinner experience enough! The setting was cavernous and cool, yet made incredibly cozy by the soft flicker of candlelight but our guide was the true highlight. She was absolutely wonderful—warm, charming, and incredibly knowledgeable! It felt like dining with a friend rather than a tour guide. She shared such fascinating insights into local cuisine and cooking traditions, and her stories about growing up in Trastevere gave us such a special, authentic glimpse into Roman life. Ellie truly made our night unforgettable. If you’re looking for a perfect evening in Rome, don’t miss this!

This was an intimate experience with only 6 guests the night we went. The experience delivered on every expectation, and Lisa was a wonderful host. We were served four wine-paired courses of traditional Roman food, well prepared and nicely presented. The venue was in the excavated remains of a Roman bath underneath a local restaurant, and the space was charming. We had our adult children with us, but this would be an unforgettable date-night experience in Rome.

This was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Rome. Clelia was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and truly excellent at what she does. The experience ended up being just my husband and me because another couple didn’t show, and I was initially worried it might feel awkward—but it couldn’t have been further from the truth. The food was outstanding, especially the cacio e pepe, and each wine pairing complemented the dishes perfectly. The setting was beautiful and made the whole experience even more special. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough—it was unforgettable!

We had such a good time! The food was fantastic and it turned out it was just us which was a bonus! Clelia was great at explaining the history of the place, introducing the food and giving us great advice on where to go in Rome. The wine pairings and sommelier knew what he was doing, it all went together so well! Definitely book this at the start of your holiday because you will get great advice on where to go the rest of the week!

Lilly was a great host. It was a magical night we will never forget. Thanks for the memory.

Best food tour in Rome Italy! Very nice atmosphere and people! The tour lady was amazing! It’s amazing to think that at one time Roman’s bathed here. I would suggest coming the beginning of your trip since they give out many recommendations of Rome to eat!

This was an exceptional candle light dinner service below ground in the ancient Agrippa Baths. Lilly did a great job giving us the history of Agrippa- who was so important to the creation of the Pantheon, the Aquaducts and the Agrippa baths in Rome. Really a very special night, Thanks Lilly!

Incredible immersive experience tasting a few traditional Roman dishes paired well with delicious wines.

Fab My family of nine were so gleeful an delighted

Livia was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history from the Agrippa period. She helped facilitate a surprise birthday party for my brother in the Catacombs. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere… solid history lesson…the veal was overcooked…the wine pairing was excelent… would definitely go again

Really lovely experience and nice food. Only rated four stars as I would say slightly over priced for what it was and history of the building could have been more forthcoming

Along with a couple of dear friends, my husband and I enjoyed this experience on May 7, 2026. Ben was a warm and gracious hostess explaining the various courses and their preparation. Alex, our sommelier, gave explanations on the wines served and why they were chosen to accompany the various dishes. The setting was gorgeous and quietly intimate. The food was especially delicious and of high quality. We had an elegant evening in a unique setting and now a cherished memory. Thank you!

Most amazing experience, great food and wine and our host made everything way better

Amazing host everything was amazing food, love it🤌🏻🤌🏻

Lily was outstanding, personable, knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure

We had a very intimate and educational event with Lilly. She was passionate and enthusiastic giving information and making it fun and entertaining. We recommend this evening to anyone.

This romantic historic dinner experience was truly wonderful! The dining location, not available on any of the other tours we took, was literally a visit to a hidden gem. Upon our arrival to the dining area our guide provided the historic explanation and original use of the space and how it was rediscovered. Our guide was engaging, interesting and informative. She wonderfully navigated through the meal courses, the wine pairings and continued historic significance of the space making a candle light dinner with new acquaintances feel as warm and welcoming as night out with old friends. The food and wine were fantastic but it was our tour host that was the star of a fabulous evening. We will most certainly be back to dine with her the next time we are in Rome!

A delicious dinner with wine paring in a room from the 1st century; what more could you want?!? How about a ‘guide’ to walk you through the history of the room and city and expertly explain each dish. Ben (the guide) was amazing personable, spent exactly the right amount of time chatting with each guest/table, and was wonderfully knowledgeable. The food was authentic, delicious, and memorable and the wines were paired very nicely as well. This was an experience that won’t be forgotten!

Bernadette was a fantastic host, the food was lovely and really relaxed atmosphere, this was our last night in Rome and was my partners 50th birthday and they really made it very special for us, thank you!

Our guide, Benedetta truly made this experience for my husband and I. We enjoyed the food, the wine, the location & all of the information shared about history, the city & local customs throughout! You will potentially be sharing the table with others, so keep that in mind if you are looking for a romantic dinner for two!

Benedetta made our experience. My wife and I had a four course dinner that was fantastic. Benedetta was so full of life, zest, and so very knowledgeable about the history of Rome that we were constantly learning more and more about areas and eras of the city that we had been in. This was the pinnacle of our experience in Rome.
