Must try this you consider yourself a foodie - We have just come back from a fantastic tasting tour of Mercado Testaccio. Our guide, Silvia, has an art history degree at the university in the area. She’s super friendly and very knowledgeable — not just about the history and the ingredients but also the people (like Sergio, the innovative panini guy) and the culture behind this culinary treasure in Roman landscape. We finished at a local pastiscceria for pastries and hor chocolate.

Local food tour- not to be missed! - Our guide Silv was excellent! It was such an authentic experience guided by a local! Silv took us to a wonderful neighborhood bakery and had us sample her favorites including pizza as we sat on a park bench watching the local children play. We then sampled some wonderful sandwiches for lunch made with the best bread I have ever had! We then went to great gelato place where the owner didn’t hold back- the right amount of sass served with excellent gelato and homemade whip cream. She also introduced us to the Italian tradition apperitivo where we sat and had wonderful wine and snacks to hold us over to the late night dinner hour. Silv had great suggestions for local dinner places and the best gelato near our hotel. She was so upbeat and knowledgeable! One of my favorite experiences of the trip!

A Journey Through Rome’s Best-Kept Secret - Testaccio is a food lover’s paradise, and this tour took us to some of the neighborhood’s best spots. Our guide was fantastic, sharing insights into the history of the area and the significance of the dishes we tried. The market was a highlight, with its fresh ingredients and welcoming vendors. We sampled everything from pizza bianca to artisanal gelato, each bite better than the last. What stood out most was how personal the experience felt. We weren’t just tourists—we felt like we were being welcomed into the community.

Beyond the Usual Tourist Experience - Testaccio is a hidden gem, and this food tour really gave us a taste of the local lifestyle. We sampled everything from fresh market produce to Roman delicacies. The stories our guide shared about the neighborhood's food history made the tour much more than just about eating—it was about connecting with Roman culture
