You'll be welcomed with a selection of fine cured meats and artisanal cheeses, enhanced by an olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting, and a celebratory toast with a glass of crisp Prosecco.
Discover Pyramid of Cestius, an unexpected ancient pyramid rising within the Non-Catholic Cemetery. Step inside this quiet, atmospheric space where history, art, and memory meet. A striking hidden gem in Rome.
Step into one of Rome's most authentic neighborhood markets. You'll taste freshly chopped tomatoes dressed with olive oil, basil and garlic, then a classic bruschetta, a silky buffalo mozzarella and tomato caprese, and finally a crispy supplì (Rome's beloved fried rice ball), paired with a cold beer.
Step inside the iconic trattoria carved into the ancient Monte Testaccio hill and discover Rome's three most celebrated pastas: the creamy Carbonara, the bold Amatriciana, and the sharp, peppery Cacio e Pepe.
No Roman food tour would be complete without gelato. One of the city's most iconic gelaterias, that has been serving locals and visitors alike for over a century, has the perfect sweet ending to your morning.
Had a fine food tasting of the three signature Italian pasta dishes, accompanied by a very nice wine, followed by a great gelato. The tour guide was excellent, a very friendly and attentive person.
Francesca our tour guide was fantastic and lead us on a wonderful evening of food drinks and fun.
Francesca is an excellent guide and her food tour was beyond what we had expected. She was knowledgeable, personable, knew all the restaurants and history, and brought us to places we would not have found otherwise. Highly recommend!
Fabulous tour! Thank you so much!
we loved our tour with Francesca. So much good food, and great information about rome and it’s food neighborhoods.
Our group of 7 undertook the Testaccio Food Tour with Roman Pasta and Market Tastings thinking we’d get to try a few things to eat and then have a lunch, but we got so much more than we expected. Our guide, Valter, was extremely knowledgeable and also quite personable. He put the many food items we tasted in context with the people and history of the area. He also took us around the Testaccio neighborhood, highlighting the important sights. We highly recommend this tour. The food and the guide were both outstanding!
Dario is so fun and knowledgeable. Great food and great time.
Amazing tour! Delicious food, fun and interesting.
From beginning to end - everything was yummy, the explanations and stories were fascinating and we had lots of fun! Highly recommended.

Francesca is an excellent tour guide. Informative and patient and knowledgeable
The tour was tasty and interesting and Giselle was a wonderful tour guide. Definitely recommend.
Gisella was a joy. She was so passionate about her city and the community she lives in. We are completely stuffed with great food and we got to explore an area of Rome we never would’ve known about.
Gisele was such an incredible host to a small group of six or us. The neighborhood is a quiet sanctuary in the city and she lives in the area so showed us around all the awesome local spots. The tour was a great balance of food, history, and sights around town. Would recommend to everyone
The tour guide was very nice in both energy and explaining the different parts of the tour. The tour locations were very nice.

Francesca was such a fantastic guide! Such a good experience
Our Testaccio food tour was brilliant! Valter guided us through local markets, delis, restaurant and gelato shop tasting everything Rome has to offer food wise. Valter’s wide knowledge of the foods and history helped us understand how Italians eat and live. With a small group of 12 we learnt about olive oils, Italian cheeses, meats and balsamic vinegars. Bruschetta and suppli and beer in the market, and sitting down to a lunch of three delicious Roman pastas with wines, followed up by the best gelato Testaccio has to offer. Valter is very knowledgeable and provided lots of ideas and hints for home cooking and eating. Thanks Valter for a fabulous day out in Testaccio!
This was such a fantastic experience! Not only did we enjoy delicious food from a range of places - deli, food markets, restaurant, gelateria - but our guide Gisella had such an insightful knowledge of the culture and history of the neighbourhood. We couldn’t recommend the tour or Gisella more. Thanks so much!
Francesca was a great guide around testaccio and showed us so many great places to eat the historical significance of the neighborhood

We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Dario around Testacchio. Dario was so enthusiastic and made the tour so much fun. It was a small group so was very personalised. The food and local restaurants were amazing. It was such a priveledge to experience Testacchio through a locals eyes.
Dario was the best guide. You have to ask for him. Really knowledgeable and nice guy.
Best tour we’ve had in a long time! Dario was incredibly well connected with the neighborhood and made the experience feel much more personal. He wasn’t just our guide — he was a wonderful host who made us feel welcome and gave us a real feel for the area. If you get the chance to take this tour, ask for Dario. You won’t be disappointed!
Very good and interesting Great experience Met really nice people
Dario was amazing. Very friendly and funny and informative. We had a great time. The food was delicious!
This was our 3rd time taking the tour and it had delivered every time! Dalia was an AMAZING guide and gave us an exceptional experience in spite of the heat. Great food, great historic overview and great sites. Highly recommend!
A great expirience overall! Our tour leader Valeria was really nice and knowledgeable about the gastronomy of Rome. For example she arranged a vegeterian meal for me at every stop with a smile on her face ❤️ I would recommend this tour 100%.
Great guide and tour. The food was really good. The walk was good as well
Dario was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job showing us around the area. The variety of food options was terrific. The tour was well priced for how long the the tour was. The small group size allowed for an intimate atmosphere.
Valeria was amazing! Super kind and gracious spirit. Great at conversation. Thoughtful when moving locations.
Francesca was fantastic. She provided history, knowledge on Roman traditions, and food. She was kind and personable. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!
You’ll eat plenty on this Testaccio food tour. Our excellent guide Walter, educated us on the history of the area as we walked. At our first stop we enjoyed a selection of cheeses and cured meat from across Italy, including an outstanding truffle balsamic. A delicious bruschetta was among our many tastings from the Testaccio Market. There was almost no room for the tasty pasta selections served at Flavio al Velavevodetto but that didn’t stop us. Yum. The day was a warm so finishing with an exquisite gelato from Giolitta was divine. A wonderful experience.
This was quite an interesting food tour. The stops combined local restaurants, as well as a trip to see a pyramid within a cemetery. It certainly is not your typical food tour however we had a totally enjoyable time. We had stops featuring wines, cured meats, cheese, plus delicious chocolate. We had a stop at the market, which featured delicious fresh tomatoes, bruschetta, and a delicious supli. This contained rice, cheese, a little meat and flavored with tomato sauce, surrounded by a croquette. Far better than Arancini. Then onto the cemetery and the pyramid. Well, we didn't know what to think about this when it was announced that we were going there however, it soon became clear the history of this pyramid and its intended occupant. You'll have to take the tour to understand the history of this pyramid built in 80 BC, how it came to be, and what came of the intended occupant. Then it was off to a delicious Italian restaurant that was built one level under a terra-cotta mountain. You must learn about this story of the terra-cotta. We had three courses of pasta that included carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, and Amatriciana. These were all paired with delicious red and white wine. We toasted our tour guide Dario with the delicious wine. Then to end up the tour, we visited a delicious Gelato shop The tour was conducted by Dario. He is quite knowledgeable and interesting tour guide. We had many lively interesting discussions of historical figures as well as the toods, preparations and wines.
