Eating Testaccio: Market Tour and Tastings | Shared

Involved with the food trade from the Ancient Roman time for its vicinity to the river, Testaccio is one of the most interesting and authentic areas of Rome. Located nearby more touristic areas like Trastevere and Aventine hill, Testaccio is definitely on a rise of popularity and glamour for its historical restaurants, night bars and most of all the food market.

This district of the eternal city is a unique combination of the ancient traditions and modern twists with current food trends popular all over the city. Our food tour will give you the chance to feel like a local and taste the Roman food classics surrounded by the distinct architecture of the Testaccio neighborhood, consisting of historical peculiar parts such at the Monte dei Cocci and the Pyramid to more recent revitalized Art and Cultural sites.

On this tour, you will visit the food market and the neighborhood starting from one of Rome’s oldest delis to eat unique prosciutto and truffle salami. You will taste suppli, a favorite Roman street food, and fried typical delicatessen, experience a Roman pasta such as Cacio e Pepe or Amatriciana, as well as discover new takes on classic bollito meat or typical stewed chicken. Depending on the season, this lively market will greet you with crates of Roman Zucchini with their delicious flowers ready to be fried, green artichokes, and piles of chicoria like only in Rome you can find.

Before concluding enjoying our artisanal gelato, we will also learn the stories of famous poets, painters, sculptors, and authors like Shelley and Keats who rest in peace nearby in the Protestant Cemetery of Testaccio, an unexpected place of art built right next to one of the most impressive tombs of Ancient Rome, the Pyramid of Cestius. Shelley wrote not long before he drowned and was buried here, “It might make one in love with death, to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place.”

Its towering cypress trees, abundant flowers, and greenery shelter a heterogeneity of elaborate and eclectic graves and monuments, nestled on a slope in the shadows of the Pyramid and adjacent to a section of Rome’s ancient Aurelian wall.

Choose the Testaccio food tour, a real experience beyond the flashes and the crowds of the historical center that will fill up your heart with smiling faces, good food, and a new surprising story.

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
