Semi-Private Trastevere Food Tour


Our Trastevere Food Tour just got an upgrade—smaller groups, bigger flavour, and a deeper connection to real Roman food culture. With only 6 people per group, you’ll enjoy personalised attention from your guide and a more intimate experience with fellow food lovers. You’ll savour the best of Trastevere at a relaxed pace, no rushing, no waiting—just excellent food, fast service, and meaningful stories behind every bite.


We’ve also upgraded the menu to include a second course with your choice of a hearty meat or veggie main, made from locally and sustainably sourced, pesticide-free ingredients. You’ll dine at intergenerational, family-run eateries that have been part of the Trastevere community for decades, places where recipes are passed down like heirlooms and “slow food” is a way of life. Oh, and did we mention that you'll also get limoncello? What could be better than that!

Ready for a delectable experience in Rome? Prepare for an unforgettable adventure through one of the city's trendiest (and tastiest!) neighbourhoods, at a perfect pace for everyone in your group.

Please note that the places we visit and the food we try depend on the season.



This is a sustainable tour, meaning part of the profit goes towards reforestation


Summer’s coming! We ask our guests to bring a reusable water bottle to refill along our route to stay hydrated and also help us reduce waste.

Tour Highlights

  • Check iconMore Personalised experience: With just 6 people in your group, your guide can truly cater (pun intended!) to your interests, dietary preferences, and curiosity—whether it's about the food, the family who makes it, or how the ingredients are sourced.
  • Check iconMore intimate atmosphere: Wander through Trastevere’s charming, narrow streets in a small group, where you'll feel more like you’re uncovering local treasures with friends rather than just part of a crowd.
  • Check iconSmoother transitions: No herding, no delays. Smaller groups mean we can move effortlessly from one stop to the next and visit hidden gems that simply aren’t possible with large tours.
  • Check iconBetter engagement with locals: Family-run spots are more open to welcoming small groups into their kitchens and stories. You’ll hear how grandma’s sauce recipe has outlived empires, and maybe even get a peek behind the scenes.
  • Check iconAn upgraded menu: You'll get a secondo meat or veggie course made from sustainably sourced ingredients, and a glass of limoncello to wash it all down.
  • Check iconPriority service: We've taken the stress out of planning by curating a unique itinerary that grants you organised entry into Rome's best local eateries.

Our group meets in this historic square just off Trastevere’s main street

Salumeria

Sample some of the region’s finest cheese and porchetta accompanied with fine local wine.
