    Eating Testaccio: Market Tour and Tastings | Private

    Testaccio has a wonderful history that almost destined the village to become the place in Rome to try real Roman food. Some have even described the village as being romatically shaped like a wedge of cheese. Our food tour will take you to discover the food and architecture of this charming neighbourhood, one of Rome’s most local.

    Testaccio has a distinctively Roman spirit which hasn’t suffered as the village has gentrified. In fact Testaccio is a fine example of Roman’s old and new combining to create something modern and exciting.

    We’ll take you to taste the classic Roman dishes: Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana, Coda alla Vaccinara or Pollo alla Romana but also to some of the great new interpretations of these classics like a bolito sandwich in the market or a pizza bianca sandwich pocket filled with with stewed chicken.

    The market in Testaccio is one of Rome’s best: lively and characterful. Depending on the season the market is awash with green artichokes, piles of chicoria or crates of Roman Zuchinni with their beautiful flowers ready to be fried. It’s a great place to people watch and taste: pizza, arancini from Sicily or bruschetta crammed with fresh tomaotes, olive oil and basil.

    Testaccio is so charming because it still feels so traditional: there is the local bar serving coffee to standing spectators, the gelateria to be visited after pizza, the local trattoria still serving an antipasti buffet worthy of a baroque feast and of course the delicastessen where salami and chillis hang above glass counters full of wobbly ricotta or mozarella.

    Discover all these treats and the history of this legendary Roman Neighbourhood, with a local guide with our Testaccio food tour.

    • Visit to local delicastessen for cheese and salami tastings
    • Visit to bakery to try Rome’s favourite street food, pizza al taglio, strips of pizza cut and weighed with local toppings
    • A market stroll to see seasonal vegetables, fresh pasta being stuffed and rolled and to try friend risotto balls ‘aracini’ or ‘suppli’
    • A visit to the legendary sandwhich maker of the market to try bolito or parmigana sandwhiches
    • Vist to historic trattoria for classic Roman pasta tastings
    • Coffee in a local bar
    • Gelato in an artisanal gelateria

A great evening with plenty of incredible local food and drink and a really good way to meet and get to know other travellers. The small group size made it much more personal and conversation flowed all evening! Sara (our guide) was absolutely amazing - so friendly and chatty, and so full of knowledge about the local food and Rome/Trastevere's history. She could not have been better.
    I'll be coming back to Rome and will definitely be booking this again. Thank you so much, Sara, for making my first trip to Rome that much better!

We got to try a ton of different food and even returned to one of the restaurants later in the week. The tour groups are kept small, so our group easily got to know each other throughout the tour. We were especially pleased with how accommodating it was: My fiance is a vegetarian and can be a bit of a picky eater, so he had low expectations going in and this ended up being his favorite activity all week! We actually had a couple of vegetarians in our group and there was always an equally hearty substitute whenever necessary. Super pleased with this experience and with Luca! Best part of our week! read less

This was a wonderful way to dive straight into Italian culture. I highly recommend this class as it was very intimate with the chef (only 3 couples) and one of the most memorable experiences from our trip. read less
