This tour was the highlight of my trip to Rome! The wood-fired pizza stop showcased what real pizza should taste like—crispy. Approved
This tour was the highlight of our Rome vacation! I loved learning about the historical roots of Testaccio’s food scene. The wood-fired pizza was definitely the best I’ve had, and the wine pairings were spot on. Thanks to our knowledgeable guide, I now know how to spot a real Roman trattoria!
