Guidekin's take

Testaccio the way its residents eat it: a coffee bar, the market, a trattoria for a full pasta lunch with wine and a gelateria, with more than a dozen tastings across eight family run places and a walk past the old slaughterhouse and the pottery hill.

Tastings and lunch are included at €63 per person, tips and pickup are not. Not for vegans or coeliacs.

In our comparison: #83 of 197 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
