- Portico of Octavia - Join your guide and fellow food enthusiasts in the vibrant heart of Rome’s Jewish quarter. Before embarking on your culinary adventure, you’ll receive an introduction to this historically significant area, renowned for its influence on the city’s food culture.
- Bona pizza romana in teglia - Your first culinary stop is a contemporary pizzeria, where you’ll savor a classic Roman-Jewish street food delight: Jewish-style fried artichokes (when in season) or fried zucchini flowers.
- Pasticceria Boccione - This esteemed bakery has been crafting kosher delicacies in the Jewish Quarter for over two centuries. Here, you’ll taste “pizza ebraica,” or “Jewish pizza.” Despite its name, it’s not a pizza but a distinctive sweet treat that celebrates the neighborhood’s rich heritage.
- Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara - Enjoy your next street food treat—freshly fried codfish—from this cherished local spot, accompanied by a glass of wine.
- FIORE - Relish freshly fried supplì and a Naples-style donut from a family-run shop offering a blend of Roman and Neapolitan street food.
- Johnny’s Offlicense - Explore the realm of Roman brewing with a tasting of locally crafted beers, each with unique flavors and stories. Meet the welcoming owner and receive his personal craft beer suggestions.
- Checco Er Carettiere - Across the Tiber River in Trastevere, you’ll pick up a typical Roman finger food for takeaway from this popular eatery.
- Trastevere - As the sun sets, follow your guide to a private rooftop for a memorable conclusion: creating your own Spritz with Rome’s skyline as your backdrop. With panoramic views and a toast to great company, say “cin cin” to an unforgettable culinary journey through the Eternal City.

Amazing Food Tour in Rome – A Must-Do! - I had the most incredible time on this food tour in Rome! From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience. Our guide was not only knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture, but also super passionate about Roman cuisine. We visited several local spots that we never would have found on our own, tasting everything from mouthwatering tastes of Naples to a delicious fried fish with vine and ended up with an amazing Aperitivo! Each stop felt authentic and gave us a true taste of Rome’s culinary diversity.
The pacing was perfect, just enough walking to build up an appetite between delicious bites. Our guide made everyone feel welcome and shared nice stories and insights about each dish and the neighborhoods we explored.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome, whether you’re a foodie or just looking to discover hidden gems while enjoying some amazing food. This experience was truly unforgettable!

A special treat! - Giulia was so passionate about her city and the food and the culture! We enjoyed this experience very much...maybe more than the big sites! Her enthusiasm set the tone for an amazing tasting experience of the best street food in Rome. The little history lessons about the Jewish quarter and campo d'fiori and trastevere were delightful tidbits! From the carciofi fritti to the artiginale beer, baccalà and vino and the rooftop spritz....all spectacular!

Delicious tastes of Rome - We had a small group of 6 with Mattia as our guide. The tour was excellent and we enjoyed the food tasting and all the interesting details which Mattia provided. It was great to have some local knowledge on where to go and the history of where we were and how the street food had evolved.

Delicious food, friendly and knowledgeable guide, ending with a beautiful rooftop and Spritz - We really enjoyed this food tour. The food was great, Aurelio, our guide was telling us all about Italian history, culture and of course food. All the places we went were small, unique and not crowded at all. We ended the tour at a nice private rooftop, making our own Spritz. Such a great experience!

Tasting Street Food Like a Local in Rome: A Truly Wonderful Experience - Exploring Rome like a local was such a delightful experience. We had an amazing day with our tour guide, Aurelio. He provided us with detailed information about everything we ate, and we also learned the secrets of making the perfect spritz on a beautiful rooftop. Creating our own spritzes was incredibly exciting too. If you come to Rome and want to eat and drink like a local, this tour is an absolute must!
