Itinerary
This extensive, delicious, gluttonous tour begins in one of Rome's most picturesque squares: piazza Mattei. Here, at a local spot hand picked by us just for you, you will begin your Roman culinary extravaganza with a classic Italian aperitif, with a selection of meats and cheeses and wine!
Taverna del Ghetto
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!
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!
No Italian meal is complete without dessert, so OF COURSE you will end your food tour extravaganza with the BEST Gelato Rome has to offer, in one of Rome's most quaint little piazzas.

Traveler reviews
Find your favorite Italian food!
Xander was awesome! He took care of our family and gave us an amazing food tour…teaching us about the different Italian dishes and telling stories along the way. The 3 hours flies by and the food perfectly hits the spot. Highly recommend!
Rome food tour
Great tour. Excellent food with some of the history that makes it special
Food tour awesomeness!
We recently took a private Rome Food Tour and it was an absolute highlight of our trip. The food itself was excellent, but our guide Andrew (Andy) elevated the entire experience to something truly special. Andy, a multilingual Australian, was in his element from the moment we met. He clearly loves what he does, and his passion is infectious. There wasn’t a single question I asked that he couldn’t answer—and he answered every one with impressive depth, knowledge, and enthusiasm. The restaurant staff all greeted him warmly by name, which spoke volumes about the respect he’s earned in the local scene. Whether it was explaining the history of a dish, pointing out architectural gems (“What’s that building over there, Andy?”), or sharing insider stories, Andy delivered thoughtful, high-quality answers every time. The tour felt personal, engaging, and far more than just a food crawl. Without hesitation, when we return to Rome with friends or family, we will specifically request Andy as our guide. He provided a top-notch, first-class experience from start to finish. Thank you, Andy—we’ll see you next year! Highly recommended.
The perfect finale to our Rome experience
A food tour of Rome with AJ as our guide was the perfect finale to our three day adventure. It was my first time doing a food tour and I would add this to any city visit in the future. What a wonderful way to see hidden gems/piazzas in the city and experience restaurants and food we wouldn’t find on our own otherwise. Each stop was fantastic and built on the one before. So enjoying the company of our lovely and informative guide and the family we shared the evening with was an additional pleasant surprise. 10 out of 10 experience!
