A night to remember in Testaccio! The sequence of dishes, from the artisan cheese paired with exquisite wines to the wood-fired pizza, and finally the rich, creamy gelato, was perfectly curated. Each location was more charming than the last, and our guide was the perfect host, full of local insights.

Mate, this food tour in Testaccio was a ripper! The combination of top-notch grub, ace wines, and the storytelling of our local guide made it a memorable arvo. Plus, finishing at the old gelateria was a sweet as end to our day.
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.
