We had a lovely wine tasting with great wines and fun interaction with the guide! The foods were also a great match with the wines. And we brought home a nice bottle of wine! :)

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome. The wine selection was impressive, with each bottle carefully chosen to represent different Italian traditions and styles. The pairings were beautifully balanced, and you could tell a lot of thought went into the menu. The food was exceptional — rich flavors, excellent ingredients, and perfect portions. The service made the experience even better. Ginevra was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional while still being warm and approachable. She answered all our questions and made the evening flow effortlessly. If you’re looking for a genuine Italian wine and food experience with top-level service, this is it.
What a fantastic experience! The wines were delicious and generously poured, and the food pairings were spot on. Everything tasted authentic and high quality. Ginevra did an amazing job guiding us through the tasting. She was professional, friendly, and made the entire experience feel personal and relaxed. Would absolutely do this again.
This experience was amazing. My boyfriend and I were fortunate enough to be the only ones who booked. We learned so much about the food culture of Rome and Italy, ate fantastic food, and drank incredible wine. I highly recommend this for a special evening!
This experience exceeded our expectations. The wine pairings were thoughtful and showcased a wonderful variety of Italian regions. Each wine complemented the food perfectly, bringing out different flavors with every bite. The food itself was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. It didn’t feel like a “tourist tasting” but something genuinely curated. The service was smooth and attentive, and the atmosphere relaxed yet elegant. We left feeling both satisfied and more knowledgeable about Italian wine culture.
We absolutely loved this tasting. The wines were excellent and beautifully paired with high-quality Italian products. Everything felt authentic and carefully selected. Ginevra was fantastic — professional, warm, and clearly passionate about what she does. She explained each pairing in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys good wine and great service.
This was easily one of the most refined food and wine experiences we had in Italy. The wine selection was exceptional — thoughtfully curated and perfectly paired with authentic Italian specialties. Each glass was introduced with clear, engaging explanations that enhanced the tasting without making it feel overly technical. The food quality truly stood out. From the cheeses to the cured meats and regional specialties, everything tasted fresh and premium. A special thank you to Ginevra, who was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire experience. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and elevated the evening with her expertise. If you appreciate high-quality wine, authentic flavors, and polished service, this is a must in Rome.
Honestly booked this on a whim and it surprised us. The old Roman cistern is really cool, pairings made sense, and the mix of cheeses, meats, and wine felt very authentic overall.
We had a romantic evening! This experience exceeded our expectation! Our host was superb! Both her wine and cheese selections were fantastic!! She took the time to explain the pairing, the wine and cheese and give good information about the different regions they came from! She even suggested a digestif at the end to close the experience!! We didn’t even need to go for dinner after that! Would do it again!
We were 4 of us and had a wonderful tasting experience with excellent quality wines and perfect food pairings. A beautiful, intimate and private location, perfect for undisturbed tasting. Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff guided us on a real journey through Italy, both in terms of wine and food. Many rare local products from various parts of the country. Thank you!
This was a really excellent experience which was great value for money. The food was beautifully prepared from across all regions of Italy as was the wine. The host was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.
The attention to detail was second to none - the care and thoughtfulness for all the guests dietary requirements was amazing. We left full and with such great understanding of regional food.
ended up being only me there, which i was not expecting, but was great! the lady there was wonderful! she did a great job explaining everything and was a pleasure to spend the hour with! the food and wine was very good! it was nice to try so many fresh things from across italy! great option for tasting, especially if you only have an hour!!
What an amazing evening! We booked very spontaneous and had such a great experience. The food was awesome and the wine also as well 😋 Thanks again to the lovely hosts! See you next time :)
Super! Thoroughly recommend this. Host was wonderful. Finally I know a little about good Italian food and wine. Worth the price and great setting.
Fantastic wine tasting experience in a Beautiful location. The wine selected paired perfectly with the delicious food provided. The host was knowledgable and warm. Would highly recommend
Booked this last minute and we were not disappointed. As it turned out we were the only 2 there and Ginevra really looked after us. She took time to explain all the wines that we tasted and the food pairing it was best to go with. As a host she was excellent as were the wines and food snacks we tasted. If you enjoy wine, then you really should visit this superb little wine cellar.
I did this with my girlfriend. The host was welcoming and guided us through the food and wine pairings. All of which were delicious. We both had a great time. I would recommend
We had an amazing experience with this authentic wine tasting and food pairing. The architecture and design of the wine cellar was spectacular. We walked down the stairs to a table that was artistically set with cheese and olives and breads from different regions around Italy which our hostess educated us about. We enjoyed the wine and food pairing and were satisfied with the experience but… there was more! We were surprised when our hostess arrived with another charcuterie board of Italian meats and it didn’t end there . A sweet “surprise”and a traditional Italian digestif was still to come. The whole experience made us feel like we were special guests in her home. Thanks from the Minnesota Women!
We had an amazing evening, thank to the incredible Host! The food and wine served were excellent, we even bought some wine to take back home with us ☺️
This is a “must do” on your trip to Rome! The experience took us to a part of Rome where lots of restaurants and nightlife are-Trastevere. Our host was wonderful and so lovely. She had a great passion for wine and food and explained everything to us about the many foods we ate-and it was a lot! We recommend not eating before you go! There is so much to sample and something for everyone. Breads, cheese, olives, vegetables, meats and so much more! The wines were delicious and again our host explained them all to us and we had a fun time guessing the notes with her! The tasting ended with a delicious dessert and we couldn’t have enjoyed this afternoon more. Fabullus wine cellar was amazing and highly encourage all to go and do this tasting!
My recent food and wine testing experience is unforgettable. The atmosphere was relaxed allowing us to savor every moment and flavour.
This was a wonderful experience, great food and fabulous wine with an expert who was entertaining and passionate. It was also a lovely activity after a busy day in Rome as it was just us with our host. Highly recommend.
I recommend this experience 100%. Excellent food, excellent wine and excellent place. Thanks a lot! We will come back!
I did wine and food testing here with my wine and it was a great experience. Our host is really friendly and she led the testing really well. It was friendly and fun, but also filled with true love. A must try for wine and food lovers.
This is something special! Thes is the best gourmet experience we have ever done! The quality of the food and wine is so amaùzing. Its really indescribable how amazing it was. We could tell that this experience is organised by people who have passion for the work they do. Thank you!
Magical place in the heart of Rome, where you can spoil your culinary senses with amazing wine and food and admire the little details in every corner! It is filled with antiques and pieces of art. You can feel all the love and passion that have been brought to this place , it's a gem!;)
Federico is an excellent sommelier and host. Excellent food and wines, professional and convivial explanations. Recommended!
Highly refined and elegant place, unique for the cozy and intimate atmosphere typical of the 30s. I had a finely curated tasting with friends featuring fine and selected wines. A food and wine journey that crossed different Italian regions. The sommelier was knowledgeable and very thorough in his presentation and explanation. The owner was kind, friendly, and very attentive to details. A place truly recommended for those who love to pamper their taste buds and make a good impression. 10 out of 10 and... Thank you Stefano!
Our sommelier Ginecra was prepared and nice. You described the history, quality and origin of food and wine. The food and wine pairings were perfect! Everything was amazing! I have to go back!
Highly recommended experience in the heart of Trastevere. Tasting of excellent wines paired with quality food in a Roman cistern made very suggestive by the details but above all by the welcome of the fantastic Geneva, which accompanied us on this sensory journey with much competence, passion and a lot of sympathy.
To our surprise we (my husband and I) were the only guests at the tasting. That made the experience extra special and personal. We enjoyed so much all the good food and the matching wines. But especially from the explanation and extensive knowledge of the friendly host. I'd like to give ten stars if I could.
This experience exceeded all my expectations in every way, from the attention, the quality and taste of the products, the presentation and detail of each food, and also the atmosphere and place. Ginevra explains exactly what you’re tasting, while telling you a little story of each product. I would repeat it a thousand times more, with friends and family, but I will always be careful with the gorgonzola haha. A delight all I enjoyed it from the moment I entered until I left! 10 out of 10
Very nice tasting experience of quality products. Discovery of products in accord wines very well presented with interesting explanations. We appreciated less that we were told several times that we had to be careful to respect the 60 min of tasting because he had a private event after us... the feeling of being shipped (especially since we were largely within 60 min, which was originally announced 60 to 75 min: difficult to “taste” in a hurry). Too bad because the whole extinguishes a beautiful discovery.
Excellent presentation of products from different regions of Italy. Tasting of 3 wines very well presented, glasses of limited quantity to our taste compared to what is advertised in the title: not 3 glasses but 3 small glasses tasting style. Adds 2 liqueur tastings, the last, surprising. Thanks to Carlotta for making us travel so well.
We had a great time during our tasting thanks to Carlota who knew how to give us a nice presentation of the products (in French what's more). Quality products, we have rediscovered flavors, on cheese as well as cold meats. This food and wine pairing was great Thank you again, and we will be sure to recommend you for future travelers
Very welcome. But service that is not up to the price charged, given the quality but especially the quantity of products.
Fabulous experience in an intimate setting! Thanks to Carlota this moment marked our stay. This wine lover shared her universe, her passion!! A beautiful culinary journey. To do without hesitation!
After a day of tourism, we were looking for a place to relax and have an aperitif: we found much more! Beautiful location, excellent and well-served food, from cured meats to vegetables, to tastings of typical cuisine, careful selection of wines and she is very available for explanations and a nice (but not intrusive) entertainer... highly recommended, also for the quality/price ratio which is difficult to find find in the city!
