Taste of Testaccio: Special 15 Year Anniversary Edition
Description
Discover Testaccio, Rome’s hidden treasure, with the city’s first food tour, delighting food lovers since 2011. Venture off the beaten path into the vibrant Testaccio Market Rome, and stroll through the quaint streets that surround it. Experience a journey through all the flavors of Rome, capturing the genuine and authentic character of one of the city’s most charming undiscovered neighborhoods. Visit vendors that have been perfecting their trade for decades: from growing the freshest fruit and herbs, to baking the freshest bread, and then watch them be combined in front of you to make bruschetta and caprese salad with fresh buffalo mozerella, right there in the market. Then, venture further into the surrounding neighborhood, tasting uniquely Roman street food and finishing with what many describe as the best gelato they’ve ever had.

Itinerary
You'll be welcomed with a selection of fine cured meats and artisanal cheeses, enhanced by an olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting, and a celebratory toast with a glass of crisp Prosecco.
Discover Pyramid of Cestius, an unexpected ancient pyramid rising within the Non-Catholic Cemetery. Step inside this quiet, atmospheric space where history, art, and memory meet. A striking hidden gem in Rome.
Step into one of Rome's most authentic neighborhood markets. You'll taste freshly chopped tomatoes dressed with olive oil, basil and garlic, then a classic bruschetta, a silky buffalo mozzarella and tomato caprese, and finally a crispy supplì (Rome's beloved fried rice ball), paired with a cold beer.
Step inside this iconic trattoria carved into the ancient Monte Testaccio hill and discover Rome's three most celebrated pastas: the creamy Carbonara, the bold Amatriciana, and the sharp, peppery Cacio e Pepe.
No Roman food tour would be complete without gelato. One of the city's most iconic gelaterias, that has been serving locals and visitors alike for over a century, has the perfect sweet ending to your morning.
