Taste of Testaccio Rome Food Tour

Testaccio is the city’s original foodie neighbourhood and where cucina romana (Roman cuisine) was born. Our guided 4-hour walking food tour lets you experience Rome like a local and enjoy the best local eats at places that few tourists ever discover. You’ll visit our local food market and meet the vendors who have been there for generations, and taste the most delicious pasta you’ve ever had (no joke).

You’ll also be sampling everything from classic Italian dishes to a typical Roman street food snack. Along the way, your local guide will entertain and educate you with stories and insights into Rome’s culture and history, while exploring the city’s most fascinating offbeat landmarks like the birthplace of the city's local mob gang and the final resting place of famed poet Keats. This 4-hour tour lets you taste first hand the best local foods, while experiencing this tourist destination as if you were a true local
