- Area Sacra di Largo Argentina - As you go from the Jewish Quarter onto your next stop, walk by the famous Largo Argentina (commonly known as Rome’s ca Sanctuary) and from here enjoy traditional Roman pizza by the slice, trying different flavours and pairing with it Italian beer!
- Piazza della Rotonda - Now you should be getting quite full (!), but try to save some space as there are still two more stops! Walk to magnificent Piazza della Rotonda, and sit by the Pantheon while you enjoy your last savoury dish of the evening: Cacio e Pepe, a super classic of Roman food! And, of course, more wine!

Unforgettable Culinary Journey Through Rome! - We had an incredible experience on the walking food tour in Rome, guided by the fabulous AJ. From the very beginning, AJ's warmth and friendliness made us feel right at home. She possesses an impressive knowledge of Roman history and shared fascinating stories throughout the tour, enriching our understanding of the city.
AJ took us to a variety of outstanding culinary spots, each offering a unique taste of Rome. The food was so delicious that I lost count of the number of places we visited! From fried artichoke, Roman style pizza to delightful pasta dishes, every stop was a highlight.
The evening ended perfectly with a stop for gelato, which was the cherry on top of a perfect tour. This tour was an unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend LivTours, doing this tour early in your vacation, and having AJ as you guide. It's a fabulous introduction to Roman cuisine and culture. Worth every minute – don't miss out!

Great food tour with AJ! - AJ was our guide for the evening food tour. She brought us to some great restaurants where we were treated royally because everyone knew her so well. AJ not only talked with us about the different foods of Italy, she also gave us great insight about the art, the fountains we passed by and sculptures as we moved from restaurant to restaurant. We highly recommend asking for AJ if you want an evening of great food and conversation while feeling like a local.

Amazing Food - AJ was a great guide who was very accommodating towards my wife's nut allergy. She made sure to check in with the staff at every stop to ensure there were no nuts in any of the dishes. She was very personable, friendly and knowledgable about Rome.

Walking food tour - AJ was Awesome! The food and drink was great and the restaurants we visited were varied and interesting. I learned a lot about Roman cuisine, for example the differences between Roman Pizza & Napoli pizza. She even got me a reservation for lunch the next day at a place she likes near we were planning to go
