Indira is an “in the know” and fascinating person in her own right. She took me to this magical “secret” roof top terrace overlooking the Forum, where we sampled delicious wines, cheese etc. An experience I never would have had as a tourist on my own.

I booked this for a client who just RAVED about this tour. They said they LOVED their guide Alex. He made sure that they had a wonderful time trying the wines and having snacks - a fabulous way to celebrate their wedding anniversary!

What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our local Rome hosts to enjoy dinner together, the Italian way. When discovering a new city, we find there’s no better way of learning about a new culture than through its food. 

And a hands-on approach is key, so you’ll need to eat a lot, obviously. You’ll head to an osteria or trattoria recommended by your host, and discover Rome’s hyper-local, seasonal dishes prepared and served the local way.

Your host will share with you their city’s food culture and recommend dishes to order for your antipasti, primi and secondi, and even dolce if you’ve still got space!

Antipasto means ‘before your meal’, and in Rome (depending on the season), there’s nothing better than fried zucchini flowers, or perhaps supplì, fried rice balls. For primi, what about a cacio e pepe, one of Rome’s beloved pasta dishes - it may only consist of pasta, black pepper, and Pecorino Romano cheese, but it’s an art form to get right!

Secondi could be braised oxtail, and just like that, you’ve eaten like a Roman! And everyone knows, good food tastes even better with good company, which is where your host comes in.

We wish we could join you for dinner!
