Our tasting dinner with Valeria was absolutely wonderful! Leading up to our visit, we had been looking for a tour/activity focused on the 4 Roman pastas, and this experience could not have been more perfect. My wife, Valeria and I spent several hours at a restaurant in Trastevere sampling the 4 dishes (each tastier than the next) and getting to know one another. Valeria was friendly, charming, knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher. It was a phenomenal evening from start to finish, and I would (and will) highly recommend it to others!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear that your 4 Roman Pastas tasting dinner with Valeria was exactly what you were hoping for — and more! Spending an evening in Trastevere, sharing delicious dishes and great conversation, is what we love most about these experiences. Valeria will be thrilled to hear your kind words — she truly puts her heart into every moment, and we’re so glad it showed. Thank you for the recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for more unforgettable flavors and memories in Rome! 💛
We enjoyed our time with Dimitri very much. He is knowledgeable on many topics other than food (an archeologist by day, food guide by night!). Our conversation with him was the best part of the tour. We understand that COVID has made these tours more complicated than they used to be, so when we turned the corner near our destination restaurant and Dimitri discovered that it was closed, there was some concern that our tour might be over very quickly. He was immediately on the phone with the tour operator and soon we were on our way to a different (and open!) restaurant where the promised four-course tasting was successfully and deliciously provided. We feel we have made a new friend in Rome. Thank you Dimitri!
Lovey tour of the neighborhood, a local cheese shop, and a dinner of all the Roman pastas! Francesca was so friendly and welcoming. We love her! We will definitely take another of their tours/classes when we come back.
Hello Nate, Francesca has a heart of gold and a very contagious smile! I am so happy to read that you enjoyed indulging in all 4 Roman Pastas and what makes them up! It is fun tasting them all, knowing about how they came to be, the amazing ingredients that compose them! If to that you add a vibrant and fun neighborhood like Trastevere, then it could not be more local!! I look forward to having you back with us and THANK YOU for having taken the time to share! Grazie Benedetta
Met our guide and took a leisurely stroll to sample some local meats and cheeses then we arrived at the restaurant for the main event. The pastas and wine were excellent. Service was friendly and efficient. Our guide answered our questions and provided interesting stories about the Trastevere neighborhood. After dinner, we continued our stroll and had some gelato; the gelato was about average. Highly recommend.
Dear Midarl2016, The 4 Roman Pasta Tasting is one of a kind! I mean coming to Rome, and getting to sample the 4 musts all in one meal is like a taking a jump start into your Roman vacation. Delicious right? And your favorite? (Mine is gricia). Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your time with us! We really appreciate it! We hope to have you back with us very very soon! Arrivederci, Benedetta
Francesca was wonderfully knowledgable and friendlier than you can imagine. We had an excellent time walking through Trastevere. The cheeses (parmigiano and pecorino) and meats (guanciale and prosciutto) that started the tour were delicious and the shop owner was so kind and welcoming. The 4 pastas and the wine we had with them were exquisite and Francesca explained how each of the pastas was made. We ended the evening with some of the tastiest gelato in Rome. The food was tantalizing, the company was enchanting, and I was full by the end of the tour. Absolutely worth the money! Not too much walking, plenty of food.
Dear Brittany, Francesca, parmigiano, pecorino, guanciale, prosciutto, wine, the 4 Roman pastas and then gelato!!! What an AMAZING mix right??? I am so happy to read that you had such a great time. Francesca is extremily passionate (as you probaly noticed yourself) about food, and her personality just sparks joy. To this, you add all that deliciousness and you do get a magical evening. And I could not be happier! Grazie for taking the time to write such a lovely review and for sharing all this on Trip Advisor. I really really appreciate it!
Jasmine was a fabulous host and the restaurant in Trastevere was the perfect venue. We finagled a visit to the wine cellar and were blown away. Ask to see the immense books of red and white wines. The pasta was a revelation. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a unique italian experience.
Dear MaryLouandJohn, The 4 Roman pasta Tasting is quite a tasting, and you are right, the wine cellar of our venue is stunning! The books are unique and we just love turning the pages in awe! The pastas are delicious..revelation is the right word! :-) Rome has some amazing food and being able to share our passion with our new friends is a treat! Plus had Jasmine! She is a fabulous host and guide and person!!! Not only is she a great storyteller, but her passion for what she does and her smile is contagious!! We thank you for posting and sharing with other travellers about your time with us, and we look forward to having you back with us very very soon! Arrivederci
