Our culinary journey through Testaccio with a local chef was insightful. Learning about traditional ingredients and techniques directly from someone so knowledgeable was a treat. The antipasto with wine at the beginning set a high standard that was maintained throughout.

An unforgettable exploration of Testaccio’s food scene. The attention to detail at each tasting and the knowledge shared by our guide made this experience more than just a meal—it was a deep dive into Roman culture and history.
What impressed me most was the variety of food we tried. From antipasto on tagliere to diverse styles of pizza and the sumptuous dinner, there was never a dull moment!
