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.

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.

Amin was fantastic! Amin was educational and informative while also being friendly and humorous to the many personalities in the group. He kept us laughing, well fed, and stocked up on wine! He is passionate in his work and it shows. He has the knack and passion to being a great tour guide in the beautiful city of Rome, and I hope his mother sees this because I want her to know to be proud of her son! He’s doing wonderful things!!
Absolutely amazing! My tour guide Toni was amazing--knowledgeable, funny, and made sure the group was having fun and interacting with each other. We stopped at several spots, all delicious, and I've been going back to them to have full meals because they were so good! Toni also gave us her recommendations for other restaurants, and she was not wrong! Very good, would absolutely recommend and do again !
Luca was excellent!!! Would wam
This was our fourth food tour of our trip and the most expensive of all four. Based on the description, cost, and the reviews we were expecting a higher end experience. The guide was good, very friendly and always there to answer any questions. Just feel we had better value from the other experiences.
The tour was fun, educational, and filling! Jon gave us a bit of history & culture of Rome and its love affair with food. And, there was so much food! Totally recommend.
My tour guide Rish was incredible! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and pleasant. The tour, food, and overall experience were incredible.
