Description

Some sage said: “know the food, know the Romans!”.

Right, knowing the Roman food tradition is knowing the Romans, in fact. Food is such a in-depth part of the capital’s soul and such a diverse and contaminated scene that is simply impossible not to be fascinated by it is simply impossible to leave Rome without having a taste of its delicatessen: beware though, in such big cities the “tourist-adjusted food” is a common thing to find.

You might want to take a fun, informative yummy tour with a real local and food and culture expert to be able to discover the real Roman food traditions and taste only the best, original, superb roman flavours as you discover the most local districts of the cities, where locals love to go.
