Food Experience

We had the most wonderful tour tonight with Tiziana! She took us all around the Trastevere area, telling us about the history of the area and the food specialities. She taught us how to know if a pizza shop is authentic or for tourists, what the Roman special pasta dishes are, and answered all of our questions about the Italian food culture and way of life. All while stopping at wonderful authentic restaurants to eat delicious food! She took time to get to know us and took such a personal interest in all of us. You can tell she loves her city, and she loves authentic Italian food and experiences. She was a wonderful tour guide, taking us to places we never would have found on our own, and letting us try so many different foods and flavors. When the night was over we felt we had just spent an evening with a friend in Rome. Thank you Tiziana!

We loved our morning with Chef making three different kinds of pasta and sauces from scratch. And, of course, the best was eating them!

We took this tour the day we landed in Rome. We have taken precious food tours and wanted to do the same in Rome. Tiziana was our tour guide for the evening stroll. She was excellent combining local history, recommendations for local cuisine, and customs locals partake in. We started out with apertivos and drinks. Next we headed to taste some local pizza. Afterwards, we headed to dinner at a local restaurant and tried two different pasta dishes with wine. Excellent flavor and freshness of the ingredients. We then walked to a local spot to try some cheeses and wine with more history. We had a short walk to taste deep fried breaded Italian noodles and then suppli. Both were excellent but we were already very full. Lastly, we ended the tour with go course, gelato. The gelato was excellent cause of the the freshness of the ingredients. Thank you to Tiziana for her fun attitude and wealth of information making our tour one to remember.

“I can’t recommend Maurizio enough as a personal tour guide! He took us on a food walking tour that was so much more than just eating. Along the way, he shared fascinating stories about the buildings, historical landmarks, and local neighborhoods. At each stop, we got to savor amazing appetizers and traditional dishes from five different restaurants and finished with dessert. His passion and knowledge made the whole experience unforgettable. Don’t miss it!”

We had a great time on our tour, thanks to our wonderful, knowledge and friendly guide, Tiziana. She gave us a real “taste” and feel of what Rome has to offer during our first night and first time in this amazing city. The porchetta appetizer at La Norcineria in Trastevere was a true highlight, capped off by the delicious meal we had at the end. All in all it was an awesome way to kick off our Italian adventure, leaving us hungry for more!
