Highlights
  • Via di Ponte Quattro capi - Within our Rome Traditional food tour, you will have the opportunity to taste some dishes from the roman tradition.
    Here we meet our guests and we start the tour together.

  • Via Portico d’Ottavia - We will pass by the Portico d’Ottavia to get to our first stop where we will taste hand-made biscuits: crunchy biscuits, with simple ingredients and an unforgettable taste! We will taste them in a old cookie’s factory from 1920.

  • Piazza Mastai - We go through Piazza Mastai to go in a century old cheese shop and taste Roman cheeses: from canestrato to ricotta laziale and pecorino.

  • Piazza di San Calisto - We go on our tour through the streets of Rome…you will taste the Roman pizza: The capital’s masterpiece of street food and garnished \’alla marinara\’, with tomato and garlic.
    And the famous Suppli’: rice ball with meat sauce or other typical garnishments such as cheese and black pepper. This is a must-try!

  • Piazza San Cosimato - At the end of our tour, we have a must of roman cousine, Pasta alla carbonara: intense flavour, typical from Rome and prepared with Italian becon, pecorino cheese and black pepper. Hint: international carbonara is different from the traditional italian one!

And then we’ll taste Artisanal ice cream: one of the best in town prepared with natural ingredients and presented in innovative and stunning flavours. The best way of ending an actual Italian meal!

FABULOUS Foodie Tour - Roberta offers a fabulous foodie tour in Trastevere, Rome. Her warm personality and her vast knowledge of the history of the area provides a wonderful insight into the Roman culture. Each specialty shop/restaurant is carefully chosen to provide a delicious sampling of local Roman food. Trastevere is a hidden gem in the middle of Rome with beautiful churches, squares and cobblestone streets. Highly recommend this food tasting experience with Roberta! Ciao!

A great night in Trastevere with Martina - Martina took us to 6 great locations in Trastevere, each with a speciality and local history. The food was very good and the perfect portion sizes to accommodate so many stops-it doesn’t look like a lot initially, but by the end everyone was very full. I’m vegetarian and there were plenty of good options for me. Martina is very kind and engaging and put in extra work to repeat the English information in Italian for me, so that I could practice, as I’m studying the language and visiting for immersion experience. Unfortunately she had to deal with some (in my opinion) extremely rude and unreasonable clients on our tour, and handled the situation professionally and calmly, without ruining the experience for others, which is a real skill. This tour takes you to excellent but not touristy stops that you might not find otherwise. I highly recommend the Trastevere tour and Martina.

AMAZING tour! - This was my favorite tour so far & Roberta was phenomenal as our tour guide. She knew so much about the city and gave us so much insight as we continue our travels. Her knowledge was very clear and she made a perfect day for us. The food choices were very well thought out with our likes and dislikes kept in mind. She was so friendly, so attentive, and a delight to spend the afternoon with.

A unique experience for all the senses! - We had a wonderful tour with Roberta! During a walk through the Trastevere district, she told us many interesting, exciting facts and myths about the history of Rome and Trastevere. The stops on our food tour were all impressive, from the small bakery with the old oven, to the traditional shop with cheese and sausage specialties, the fried delicacies (supplí) to the authentic carbonara and a real Italian gelato! Everything tasted excellent and Roberta took a lot of time to tell us the story behind the dishes. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience, which enabled us to discover the Trastevere district with all our senses!

Super experience! - Fantastic experience! Matteo our guide is a truly welcoming, fun and kind person. He immediately knew how to put us at ease and told us some scary gems, the stages were all delicious and they taught us something new. We recommend any non-Roman to have this experience at least once! Thanks again Matteo!
