Good food, and even better company (we’re not biased, promise). And some supplì, pasta and secondi.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
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!

Luca Modesti is a superb guide. Not only incredibly knowledgeable but so personable as well. Luca was our guide for 3 hours in Rome. He asked us what we were interested in and proceeded to fulfill all our requests and then some! He even gave us a list of places to visit and favorite restaurants for the next couple of days while in Rome. I can’t say enough about our time with Luca. It was a highlight of our visit to Rome.

Show moreWonderful experience working with a local private guide. Truly customizable and paced at your desire. Our lovely hostess, Bea, was a delight to be around and shared her personal life experiences with us. So warm and friendly and made herself available for questions even after our tour!!
Show moreClaudio is an amazing historian. He took the time to point out specific sites of historical importance and architecture. Claudio took us down beautiful floral lined streets and alley ways that we would otherwise of not seen. I would recommend him to anyone for a private tour of Rome.
Show moreWe loved Bea’s openness and down to earth personality. She was easy to talk to and was thoughtful about our experience. It was fun to end the tour in a market, sampling local food. She made herself available for questions even after our tour. I recommend having suggestions about what you want to see. She’s open to showing you anything you customize! Next time I would choose to have her do a neighborhood tour.
