# Pasta, Pizza & Gelato Food Tour in the Heart of Ancient Rome

**Guidekin's take:** A food walk run by a small circle of friends rather than a big operator, pairing pasta, pizza and gelato with the heart of the ancient city, with a Trastevere food and wine variant, rated 4.88 across 66 reviews. Food, drinks, fees and taxes are included at €72 per person, transport is not. The listing keeps the menu vague, so ask what the stops are.

In our comparison: #148 of 197 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).
