Set off on a culinary journey through the history of regional and national cuisine of Italy and its Ancient Roman roots. Most tourists only have a chance to try pizza and pasta when visiting Rome, but your experienced Local Guide will introduce you to original Roman dishes such as Cacio e Pepe (pasta dish with a sauce made with black pepper and grated Pecorino Romano) or Coda alla vaccinara (oxtail stew) The tasting will also include an antipasto (appetizer), a soup and a sweet dessert such as authentic Italian Tiramisu or Grattachecca (shaved ice).

  • Please advise us in advance of any dietary requirements, such as food allergies or vegetarian diets
  • The tasting includes a 3-course meal, not just samples. The golden rule is to serve enough food for the table to collapse, so we recommended joining the tour on an empty stomach.
  • The described menu is an example only. The types of dishes will vary depending on the visited venue. We will pick the best food options for you depending on availability.
  • The legal drinking age in Italy is 18.
  • For the best experience, 1 licensed guide can lead a group of 1-25 guests. We will arrange additional guides for larger groups, so the price will be higher.
