About this experience
Discover the most authentic soul of Rome with a food tour of the Rione Monti, one of the city’s oldest and most fascinating districts. Among cobblestone alleys, historic workshops, and timeless little squares, Monti preserves centuries of Roman history intertwined with a vibrant and surprising culinary tradition. Here, just steps away from the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums, the ancient majestic Roman heritage blends seamlessly with a contemporary food scene made of honest flavors, time-honored recipes and modern interpretations of Roman cuisine.
We'll be sharing local stories or legends of popes, artists, and everyday Romans while tasting local specialties such as crispy, golden Supplì, cured meats and regional delicacies such as Porchetta d'Ariccia, artisanal Gelato and freshly brewed Espresso's. Each stop is designed to connect you directly with local producers and with the true, genuine soul of Roman cooking—rooted in simplicity and the quality of its ingredients.
