Kristian our guide took us to some local places. Told us the history of the area and of the places we visited. We had pizzetti, supli, pasta and gelato. The food was delicious especially the porchetta pizza (sandwich).
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re happy Kristian made the experience special with local places, history, and delicious Roman food.
We went with Gabrielle It was very tasty and interesting. Make sure you come hungry since we started in many places and tried different kinds of food. Warmly recommend
One of the highlights of my trip to Rome! Discovering Rione Monti through its food was a real treat — delicious local dishes, great wine, and a relaxed, genuine atmosphere. What made it even better was hearing stories and insights from someone who truly knows and loves the area. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a more authentic side of Rome!
We loved this food tour in Rione Monti! Great local dishes, excellent wine, and a fun, knowledgeable guide who shared lots of interesting stories about the neighborhood. A perfect mix of food, culture, and atmosphere, highly recommended! Thank you Francesco!
This was close to the best tour we had throughout our trip in Rome. Emiliano was over the top - most informative and entertaining. He kept us laughing throughout the entire tour. The food was remarkable, and the rooftop dining was the High Point of the tour. I cannot recommend this tour any more highly! Especially if your guide is Emiliano!
We enjoyed the variety of food and drink experiences with an excellent tour guide, who was extremely well versed about the city of Rome, including its fairly complicated history. Thank you for all your help and for making it such fun. (Emilio) 😍
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback Irene! We're glad we could contribute to making your experience in Rome enjoyable and fun. Grazie mille for choosing our tour, and we hope to welcome you back again soon! 😊🍝🍷
Francesco Bibbo was a wonderful host with a passion for both Roman history and great food. The tour was specifically customised for our family and we found it extremely authentic. One of the highlights included a viewing opportunity from one of Francesco’s close friend’s balcony where we could view a large number of Rome’s ancient sites. The food was tasty and well presented with a great local story attached to each dish. Highly recommended!
We loved this tour! Our guide was very personable and actually grew up in the Monti neighborhood. It was so fun get away from the tourist type attractions and to have a relaxed night learning about the history and food in the area from a local. Would definitely recommend to others!
this was by far one of my favorite things I did while visiting Italy. It is nice to get a taste of the more local foods than just tourist locations. It also felt more personable being able to learn the history of the area from someone that grew up there. I would 10000% recommended this to anyone visiting the area. Great foods and great views!
We loved our experience with the food and wine tour! It was really awesome to explore the Rione Monti neighborhood and was very personalized. Our guide grew up in the area so we learned a lot of little interesting facts that are not well known to the public. We did not feel rushed and got to try a lot of local food/wine. Would definitely recommend to anyone that is staying in the area!
