Overview
Just on the outskirts of Rome’s historic center lies Testaccio, a vibrant Italian neighborhood untouched by typical tourist crowds. No buses, no busy landmarks—just authentic, mouthwatering food in one of the city’s culinary hotspots.
As you stroll through Testaccio’s charming streets, your local guide will share the fascinating history behind Rome’s original “foodie” district. There’s plenty to discover—and even more to taste—so let’s dive in.
Our first stop is the lively Testaccio market. Don’t be fooled by its modern setting; this market is one of Rome’s oldest, bursting with fresh produce, meats, cheeses, pasta, baked goods, and dried fruits to satisfy every craving.
We’ll kick off the day with delicious treats from a family-run forno (bakery) that’s been crafting baked goods with love and expertise for over 50 years. Each bite is a testament to their passion and tradition.
Next, the warm, welcoming aromas at a long-standing prosciutteria invite you in. For more than three decades, this family business has delighted guests with top-quality cheeses, prosciutto, and salami—all served with a friendly smile and an open invitation to return.
You’ll also discover Monte Testaccio, an ancient mound made up of fragments of oil jars dating back before the 3rd century. Nestled into its side is a cozy restaurant where you’ll savor three of the finest pasta dishes you’ve ever tasted.
And what better way to end your tour than with gelato? At a neighborhood bar that’s been delighting locals since 1914, you’ll enjoy the city’s best gelato, made with only natural ingredients. While you’re there, why not sip a refreshing glass of local craft beer for the perfect finish?
Please note: Itinerary and tastings may vary based on the season, day of the week, departure time, individual closings or local holidays.
