The charm of Trastevere is unmatched, and experiencing it through its food was phenomenal. The highlights for me were the incredible varieties of pizza and that memorable espresso at the oldest gelateria in Testaccio. Our guide’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the area’s history and cuisine brought everything to life.

Being German and accustomed to a specific type of cuisine, I was curious about how Rome would compare. Testaccio’s culinary scene was a delightful surprise, especially the authentic Roman pasta at a premier trattoria. It was comfortingly familiar yet intriguingly different.
The cultural depth and gourmet offerings of this tour were phenomenal. Dining at a sought-after local trattoria was a highlight for me—each dish was a masterpiece of flavor.
