Itinerary
Important Note: Every departure features 6–7 delicious stops through the charming streets of Trastevere, and every tour always includes a pizza tasting, a delicious sit-down pasta dinner, and authentic Italian gelato, along with other local specialties. Some itineraries may include renowned local favorites such as Spirito Divino or Da Enzo, however these restaurants are not included on every departure, and stops may vary based on availability to ensure the best possible experience.
Your tour starts on Rome's only river island, where your guide sets the scene while the Tiber flows on both sides. Cross the ancient Ponte Cestio into Trastevere and feel the whole neighborhood begin to come alive.
Skip the line at the most iconic Trattoria in Rome since 1935. Toast with DOC prosecco and savor typical Roman specialties that have barely changed in a century (closed on Sundays; included on select departures only, depending on availability).
Step down into a wine cellar that predates the Colosseum by 160 years. You'll sip local wine and taste a recipe said to date back to Julius Caesar's Rome, inside a space that feels like genuine time travel (included on select departures only, depending on availability).
Meet Trastevere's undisputed king of porchetta. You'll taste slow-roasted pork tucked into white pizza, washed down with a cold beer. The kind of street food pairing that needs invites a second bite.
The supplì is Rome's essential street food: a fried rice ball, crispy on the outside and perfectly molten in the middle. You'll taste it at a hole-in-the-wall institution that's been feeding this neighborhood for decades.
We’re now in Trastevere’s main piazza, the lively heart of the neighborhood. Take a look around and soak in the beautiful buildings and vibrant atmosphere.
Time to sit down properly. You'll settle in for a real pasta dinner at a neighborhood trattoria, with two classic Roman preparations (Amatriciana and Gricia) and a generous pour of local wine. Sit back and savor the flavors that have defined Roman kitchens for centuries.
You'll finish at the gelateria that brought gourmet gelato to Rome. Your guide explains how to tell the real thing from a tourist imitation, and then hands you a scoop so you can taste the difference yourself.

Fabulous! Dalia was so personable and professional. She knew all the restaurateurs, waitpersons and remembered our names.
Had a trip with Dario We visited lots of places 7 Easy in and out Great way to see traveste
Our tour with Dario was amazing. Great food with a good variety of tastes around Trastevere, but his local knowledge and information about the area and history was what made the tour more special. Highly recommend!
The tour was so fun! Peppe was so fun to be with! Loved all the stops for food and wine! Would definitely do it again.
Walter was an excellent guide and the food selections were delicious. This food tour was a highlight of our Rome trip and we highly recommend it for anyone wanting to enjoy the amazing history and food that Trastavere has to offer.
Unbelievable experience made even better by the amazing Georgia. The food was varied and delicious, the drinks were a perfect complement and the vendors were friendly and accommodating. Georgia made the whole experience unforgettable. She is warm, friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable. She even gave me an excellent geography lesson. Come hungry as you will leave full, satisfied and slightly merry.
Come hungry. Gives you a great sampling of some of the highlights of what makes Roman cuisine unique to the region. Met nice people and the Trastevere has a great vibe! Giorgia was great. She got to know us a bit and shared he experience of being a Italian and living in Rome. Great insight into Italian culture, cuisine and life in Italy.
Amin was a great tour guide with a lot of details about Rome. The food of course was amazing and plentiful. We love doing food tours when we travel
Nice tour in this part of Rome. The food was very good. Plenty to eat and drink. We had a great guide (Dalia), she made it fun, interactive and interesting!
In a week filled with incredible experiences, this one was a standout. Toni led our private tour and was an absolute delight. We learned a lot about the neighborhood and its cuisine, and I will be thinking about some of the food we ate, specifically the Pork and Apple stew at Spirito di Vino, for the rest of my life. The lessons Toni taught us, and the recommendations she gave us, made sure that we were well fed for the duration of our trip. I could not recommend this tour highly enough.
Rish! Rish! Rish! Our guide grew up in this neighborhood, his stories were amazing. Each place loved having us stop by, our group felt welcomed at each business. Wine, beer and food made especially for us! 4 full hours of fun.
Rish was great, the food was amazing
Dario was an amazing guide providing history all throughout the tour, the food selection was amazing with a drink at every location. The end gelato was so good and informational on what gelato is good and which ones to avoid. 10/10 would recommend.

Walter was an excellent tour guide! We really enjoyed exploring the local neighborhood of Trastevere and experiencing Rome through its food and culture. The tour included several wonderful stops at local restaurants, bakeries, and a gelato shops, along with a visit to a neighborhood bar to enjoy a spritz and aperitivo. It was a great way to discover places we might not have found on our own while sampling so many delicious local specialties. Walter was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the neighborhood and its food. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing food experience. Small bites, with some historical facts sprinkled in, while walking the streets of Trastevere. Great evening, highly recommended.
Great experience with Toni! Food and wine were superb and her knowledge of food, the area and Rome were even better!
Our guide, Elena, was fantastic, and the food tour was extremely enjoyable.
We had an amazing tour with Dario! Would highly recommend this tour to get acquainted with an area of Rome you might otherwise not go and also the introduction to traditional Roman cuisine. Every place we went was delicious and it was an excellent blend of walk up snacks/ appetizers and sit down restaurants. Go with Dario if you can! Wonderful guide!
Our Trastevere Food Tour was absolutely wonderful! Our guide Jasmin was very knowledgeable and taught us many things about Italian cuisine! Her enthusiasm for her native food was catching and we enjoyed every morsel and every drop! The stops were well co-ordinated and we felt welcome at every place we went to! This tour is a definite must-do when in Rome!!
Edma was excellent guide of several wonderful restaurants and food stops ending with excellent gelato !!! Nicely done!
This was an outstanding Food tour. Gisella was an excellent guide and if you were lucky to have her, you will have an enjoyable time. The restaurant selected were excellent. The Food & Wine was great recommend highly.
Toni was amazing!!! Humorous, knowledgeable and took us to all the right places.
Valeria, our guide for the evening, was amazing! We did this same tour 13 years ago. When planning our trip back to Rome we made it a “must do” again. The food and company were wonderful! The icing on the cake was walking away with the delicious dull recipe. I can’t wait to get home and give it a try!
Fantastic food in history about the neighborhood and a little bit of art. Chiara is very knowledgeable and a fantastic hostess.
Tonight’s food tour with Walter was great! He taught us some history of Trastevere, as we enjoyed food from this region. He was funny and knowledgeable! The food & drink itself was excellent and extremely filling. We would recommend this tour to anyone just starting their stay in Rome!
Fantastic Dario was great and food too!
Dario is cool & chill & the food was baller!
Great tour and guide, very detailed
Great food and great time. Rish was an amazing guide, would definitely recommend
Rrrich made the whole experience so memorable and worth while. There are many food guides in Rome but there is only one Rrrich
Dario was an amazing guide. Super friendly. Very informative with every place we went to. I would definitely recommend to anyone!
We booked the Trastevere food tour and had a fantastic time with our tour guide, Rish! He provided an excellent, authentic overview of the Trastevere area and food culture, and even gave us a brief history lesson of this lesser-explored area outside of Rome. The tour felt like having a local family member show you their favorite places, I couldn’t recommend it enough!
Rish was great!! we went to many wonderful places and with great people what an experience!!!!
Great food on this excursion! Our guide Alayna made this tour fun and gave lots of good information about the Trastevere food and area. She even arranged a taxi at the end for some groups and stayed with us until we got our ride. Highly recommend this tour!
Just after a wonderful evening food and wine tour with Toni. By the end of the night, we had all sampled wonderful Roman delicacies, drank lots of delicious wine and left feeling like we’d seen a secret side to Rome. Toni was an excellent guide. Her expertise in the area is second to none. Definitely one of the hightlights of our trip.
The tour was incredible and very enjoyable and entertaining. Our guide Daurio was fantastic. The group was really fun and the food and wine was so good! I highly recommend it.
Dario was amazing! His passion for the knowledge and food of Rome was fanstastic.
Dario is fantastic, a real gem! Excellent host and advice for local recommendations. However, the amount of food served was very small compared to the cost of the tour.
Gorgeous group, spectacular host. Dario was outstanding!
Miri our guide was so much fun! Her energy and enthusiasm made our evening really special. The food stops were great. Such a good experience.
Fabio is a fabulous guide. One of the best I’ve had on vacations. He is a teacher with a fun personality. It was nice to visit some busy Trastevere spots without having to fight crowds or make decisions to sample dishes bc the guide handles everything. We are very enthusiastic eaters & well traveled in Italy so didn’t gain any new dish or drink exposures but enjoyed the tour for the social aspect & hearing some insights from the guide. Well organized & easy to book!
