Aperitivo (Italian Tapas, kind of!) Like A Local In Rome, Private
Description
You’ll join one of our Rome hosts for a taste of la dolce vita, as you experience what is surely everyone's favorite part of the day - aperitivo! This northern Italian tradition of enjoying a drink and some nibbles before dinner has spread to Rome, and we couldn’t be happier. You’ll unwind with your host and sip a spritz or a cold beer along with a small plate of gourmet nibbles like focaccia, bruschetta, cured meats and local specialty delicacies like supplí. You just need to let us know what your style is, and we'll do the rest. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

The food was amazing, and the guide was clearly very knowledgeable about the hidden gems of the neighborhoods we visited. However, it was hard for everyone in our small group of three to hear the guide, and it was very challenging for my 75 year old father to keep up with her. While we were able to sit at the first two stops, the third stop would have required us to enjoy our drinks standing outside the bar, and that would not work for my father. So the guide suggested gelato instead. There was very little discussion or explanation about aperitivo culture until I asked about it. The tour ended a bit abruptly, far from the starting point, with the guide telling us we would need to take an Uber back to our hotel as we weren’t really close to any public transportation options. The food was good, but I feel like we could have had a similar experience at most any small restaurant closer to our hotel.
Hello Deandra We’re sorry to hear that your day in Rome didn’t live up to your expectations. While we are glad you enjoyed the amazing food and found the host knowledgeable, we apologize for the challenges you faced, particularly with the host’s volume and pace for your father. Had these details been communicated in the questionnaire, we would have done our best to accommodate your request. We appreciate your insights regarding the aperitivo culture discussion and the abrupt ending of the tour. We’re constantly working to enhance our experiences, and your input is invaluable. We hope to welcome you back for a more enjoyable experience in the future! Warm regards, Kyle and the City Unscripted team.
Had a great night with Alessandro off the beaten path. Daughters loved the appertivo and won’t stop talking about it. Made a friend and a future restaurant partner!! Thanks.
Vania was a 👌🏼 host. She showed us all the hidden gems & took us to the BEST food spots. 12/10, would definitely recommend! :)
