Overview

Step off the beaten path and discover the true soul of Rome in the vibrant neighborhood of Testaccio, a district beloved by locals and considered the birthplace of traditional Roman cuisine.

Your journey begins at the lively Testaccio Market, where colorful stalls overflow with Italy’s finest cheeses, cured meats, aged balsamic vinegars, extra virgin olive oils, and seasonal produce. Meet the artisans and shopkeepers who have been serving the community for decades and learn the secrets behind their craft.

Immerse yourself in the authentic flavors of Rome with a tasting of Pecorino Romano, followed by freshly made traditional Roman pasta such as Carbonara, Amatriciana, or Cacio e Pepe. The experience is accompanied by a good Italian wine, adding warmth and conviviality to the journey. To finish on a sweet note, enjoy a delicious artisanal gelato, made following traditional recipes.

Come hungry, leave inspired, and discover why Testaccio is where Rome truly tastes like Rome.
