Are you looking for the best food tour in Rome? Embark on a Trastevere food tour that offers an excellent introduction to some of the best food in Rome. Led by a local foodie guide, visit some of our favorite restaurants and trattorie in Rome. This 3-hour tour includes:
- An English-speaking food-loving guide
- Maximum of 12 people per group
- 4 carefully selected stops with multiple tastings including wine
- Sit-down dinner at a local Roman restaurant
Roman Bakery and Pizza
At this stop, learn more the history of bakeries, or forni, in Rome. Get acquainted with a major part of Roman culinary tradition by ordering a hot square of pizza bianca for lunch. In Rome, people line up for these olive oil flat breads stuffed with prosciutto, parmesan and rocket. After you've tasted this treat, you'll understand how pizza need not have sauce or cheese to be delicious. Pizza bianca is a piece of chewy and crispy culinary heaven.
Roman Street Food
Some of the most delicious cuisine in Rome includes quick and casual street food. From deconstructed pizza sandwiches at Trapizzino to traditionally fried filetto di baccala at Dar Filettaro’s near the Campo de' Fiori district, Rome street food is hard to beat. In the spirit of experiencing the joy of Roman street fare, enjoy a stop at one of our favorite local spots.
An Authentic Roman Restaurant
Sit down and relax in a friendly local restaurant and sample an antipasto starter, tastes of two popular Roman pastas, a traditional meat dish, and local wines. No Italian dinner is complete without a digestivo to wash things down, so you'll finish things off with some Limoncello. As opposed to the other stops on this walking food tour in Rome, this is your chance to rest your feet, enjoy your dinner and learn more about what makes the Eternal City so special when it comes to dining.
The Best Organic Gelato in Trastevere
You didn't think we'd finish a food tour without gelato, did you? If you've been to Italy, regardless of the time of year, you'll know how important it is to end the evening with a gelato. Learn how to spot good quality gelato from ones with additives and try some new flavors. From caffè to fragola to pistacchio, there's a gelato flavor for everyone.
There is plenty of food to fill up even the above average eater on this tour. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, it’s important we know so we can do our best to accommodate them. Please email us immediately after you book and we will make notes so your guide knows. If you'd like to be certain before booking or have any questions, email us at [email protected].

We had a great evening. Enjoyed the tour and it gave us a good introduction to Roma food. Our host was entertaining and knowledgeable.

Fantastic Food and Marvelous Monika
What a pleasure to have this experience as part of our visit to Rome. You never really know what to expect when you book a tour, but you always hope it will be amazing. This was such a wonderful and surprising evening for us. Monika, our guide, is an art history expert who spent much of her time working at restaurants. She knows food and loves Rome and the stories behind both the food and the places we visited. So much food and so many great stories. A memory to treasure. Well done, Roman Guy. Preparing to book the Coloseum tour now.

A Roman Highlight
This was a highlight of our second trip to Rome. Fiona, our tour guide, was awesome and we had a great group of folks that included a single person, a family and a couple couples. The food was great and plentiful. We should have skipped breakfast and dinner, and we made a big mistake by not being more hungry. Fiona was able to make everyone feel comfortable with the group in a short amount of time and had lots of interesting stories about the food as well as the various places we strolled by during our tour. It was worth every penny. If your experience is half as good as ours, you will have a wonderful time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where to meet?
Piazza Farnese - by the fountain on the right (when facing Palazzo Farnese). A representative will be there holding a sign with our company name on it.
What to bring?
Come hungry and wear comfortable shoes, you'll be on your feet walking between tasting stops.
Q: First things first, how much wine do we actually get?
A: We promise at least 3 glasses, but in many places, it is served by the carafe which is the typical family style way in Rome. In this case, you can probably drink more, but don't overdo it!
Q: What if I have food allergies, intolerances or other requirements?
A: Please contact us in advance so we can do our best to accommodate your needs. We will work with our collaborators to provide you an alternative when possible.
Q: Can I bring my kids and do I have to pay for them?
A: If your child is under 6 years of age and will not be eating during the tour, you do not need to pay for them. If they will be eating please select the 'youth' category before checkout and add them to your group in order to save them a seat at the dinner table.
Q: Do the tasting stops on this tour ever change?
A: Stops and tastings on this tour are subject to change due to seasonal/holiday venue closures. As the places we frequent on this Rome Food Tour are local institutions and family-run businesses, they can close at any time with very little to no notice. In this situation, your guide will take you to another nearby eatery.
If you have any doubts about your mobility, we recommend you look at our Private Rome Tourselection.
