# Local Food and Wine Walking Tour around Rome

**Guidekin's take:** A four hour introduction to Roman eating that starts with an aperitivo of meat, cheese and wine and moves through Campo de' Fiori and Trastevere with fried salt cod, supplì and pizza al taglio before dinner. Guide, dinner and drinks are included at €105 per person, pickup and tips are not. Not wheelchair accessible, and vegetarians should say so in advance.

In our comparison: #176 of 197 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

This food and walking tour is the perfect introduction to Roman cuisine.

Start your meal like only a true Italian would – with a classic aperitivo of meat, cheese, and wine. Our guide will take you to the most authentically Roman spots, known exclusively by locals.

Taste our favorite delicacies from The Eternal City while we explore the food-centric neighborhoods of Campo de Fiori and Trastevere. Sample culinary delights ranging from baccala fritto and suppli to pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) and learn the origins behind these Roman foods – as well as the standards that set these products apart from all the rest.

Meet local shop owners and become part of the family as you visit some of Rome’s oldest establishments and hidden gems. Enjoy traditional, homemade dishes, typical of the region and discover Rome’s “trinity of pasta”.

But make sure to save some room for gelato– it’s the perfect finish to an evening of food touring around Rome.
