Hidden gem!!! Everyone should take this tour to experience life as a Roman today walking and eating our way through the Testaccio neighborhood. Annamaria was absolutely fantastic explaining the rich history of food and life in this local area. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Know Before You Book
What makes the Testaccio food tour different from other Rome food tours?
While many Rome food tours focus on the historic center, this one takes you off the beaten path. You’ll explore a real neighborhood, meet locals who’ve run their stalls for generations, and get an intimate look at Roman culinary life.
How many people are on this Testaccio food tour?
Small groups only—max 12 guests. It keeps the atmosphere intimate and ensures you get personal time with your guide.
Is this a good food tour in Rome for kids?
Definitely! Curious eaters of all ages are welcome. From the bustling local market to the historic stone wine cellar, and tastings in between, this tour is perfectly paced to keep kids entertained and full.
Where exactly is Testaccio, and how do I get there from central Rome?
Testaccio is a historic, residential neighborhood just south of the Aventine Hill—easily reached by metro, bus, or a 10-minute taxi ride from the Colosseum area. It's off the beaten path but totally accessible.
Will I actually meet locals on this Rome food tour?
Absolutely. From multigenerational market vendors to the family behind our favorite trattoria, you’ll meet the people shaping Testaccio’s food scene today. Not to mention your guide, who is a Rome local and foodie expert.
What should I bring?
Comfortable shoes are a must—we’ll be walking and standing throughout the experience. We recommend bringing a refillable water bottle, a camera, and an appetite.
Is the tour suitable for solo travelers?
Yes! Many of our guests join solo. It’s a friendly, relaxed experience—perfect for making new connections over great food.
