Make the very most of your time in Rome and be guided off the typical tourist path as you experience the real love that Romans have for street food. The region's street food was first imagined by Romans who used it as an energy source for travelers and merchants. Some historians maintain that, besides taverns, some examples of early 'food trucks' existed to offer simple and nutritious meals to the workers who crowded the city.

Your guided food tour will take place in the historical city center and is not only about eating, but also walking along some of the oldest streets and viewing important historical attractions of the city. This delicious walk is divided into four different stops in the heart of the eternal city, passing by the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and Campo dei Fiori and discovering the delicacies most loved by today's Romans, among historical boutiques and contemporary eateries.

Your first stop will be in the historic center of Rome where there is a tiny yet unmissable eatery, constantly baking golden and warm treasures. Widely considered to be one of Rome's best street foods, these breaded, deep fried rice croquettes are like the Sicilian arancini. Discover these rice-balls and what makes them one of the most beloved food of locals and tourists passing by plus learn the recipe of this delicacy.

Next you will taste one of the best pizzas in town in an ancient boutique. Roman pizza - the famous 'scrocchiarella', thin and crunchy, has for centuries amused Romans. Unique in its kind, the main street food of the capital is a raised dough impossible to replicate without the historic recipe.

Continue to your next stop for a delectable sampling board of cheeses and cured meats accompanied by a quality glass of wine. Taste the different types of cheeses and meats in a place famous for its charcuterie located in the beautiful heart of Rome.

To round out this gastronomical experience you will end your tour with artisanal ice cream in a gourmet ice cream shop. Sample one of the best artisan gelatos in town featuring both traditional and innovative ingredients. At last, but not least, have an Espresso. This Italian ritual is expected as you end your meal with a traditional espresso coffee.

Your group is kept to a maximum number of 12 guests at a time to ensure a very intimate and one-on-one experience and away from large crowds. This social eating experience brings people together from all over the world sharing personal food stories and enjoying a relaxing and joyful atmosphere.
