I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the Testaccio food tour blew me away. Our first stop was at the neighborhood’s finest bakery, where the scent of freshly baked bread was overwhelmingly delightful. The crunch of that perfect crust was unforgettable!
As a lover of great cuisine, this food tour was a dream come true! Starting off with an exquisite wine tasting session paired with fine Italian cheeses and prosciutto at a local establishment in Testaccio was divine. Each bite was a taste of history, and our guide’s stories added so much flavor to the experience!
