Your private guide will lead you and your group through an area renowned for its buzzing nightlife and fantastic eateries. It’s here where you’ll discover the local hotspots that many tourists miss. Not only will you experience the mouthwatering flavours of Rome, but you’ll also discover the process, meet the makers, and truly understand why Roman Cuisine is considered one of the best in the world.

Meet at Piazza Mastai

Our group will meet in this historic square just off Trastevere’s main street.

Say Cheese (and Porchetta)

Taste the sharp notes and subtleties of cheeses like Parmigiano and pecorino, accompanied by a savoury slice of porchetta, melt in your mouth.

Fry Me To The Moon

Bite into a fried rice ball oozing with ragù and then you'll begin to understand why the Italians are such big fans of fried food!

Steal A Pizza Your Heart

Everyone thinks they know pizza until they come to Italy. In Rome, pizza is less fast food and more of an art form, a subtle blend of crispy crust decorated with flavourful toppings. We'll take you to our favourite local pizzeria, but be warned: Papa John's will never taste the same again.

Say Pasta La Vista To Tourist Traps

Skip the rip-off tourist traps. Indulge in homemade Roman pasta with a range of traditional sauces, from amatriciana and carbonara to gricia and cacio e pepe.

After Pasta Comes Commitment

Pasta and then a main? Absolutely. Romans don’t rush commitment. After your pasta course, settle in for a traditional Roman dish that changes with the seasons and local specialities. Extra? Yes. But we love it.

Gelato The Finish Line

End on a high note, aka, with gelato. Creamy, dreamy, and dangerously good, we’ll visit one of the city centre’s most beloved artisan gelaterias. Resistance is futile.
