Sample typical local dishes that celebrate seasonality and simplicity, and learn how the area’s unique history continues to influence Roman cooking today.

End the Evening with a Traditional Dinner

After your walking tastings, the evening continues with a relaxed, sit-down dinner at a traditional Roman trattoria. Savor a curated menu of regional favorites, paired with Italian wine, as your guide shares stories about local ingredients, dining customs, and modern Roman life. It’s a moment to unwind, reflect, and connect over great food and conversation — the Italian way.

More Than a Food Tour

This experience weaves together taste, history, and culture, offering a genuine glimpse into Rome’s culinary heart. You’ll explore two neighborhoods that together tell the story of the city’s soul — one vibrant and bohemian, the other deeply historic and rich in memory.

By the end of the evening, you’ll have discovered more than just what Romans eat — you’ll understand why food here means so much.
