What is the Testaccio food tour?
Testaccio is the neighbourhood where Roman cuisine was born. Once home to the city's central slaughterhouse, it is where humble cuts of meat gave rise to iconic dishes like coda alla vaccinara and trippa alla romana. This 4-hour walking food tour takes you through the Testaccio Market, local trattorias, bakeries, and street food stalls, with generous tastings throughout.
What food will I try?
Expect to taste Roman staples including fresh pasta (often cacio e pepe or carbonara), supplì (fried rice balls), pizza al taglio (Roman-style sliced pizza), cured meats, local cheeses, and artisanal gelato. Drinks are included at select stops. Your guide shares the history and traditions behind each dish as you eat your way through the neighbourhood.
Where does the tour go?
The route covers the Testaccio Market, a covered food market where local vendors have traded for generations, along with nearby trattorias and food shops that most tourists never find. The neighbourhood itself is a destination, with street art, the ancient Monte Testaccio (a hill made entirely of broken Roman pottery), and a working-class character that feels distinctly different from the tourist centre.
How much food is included?
The tastings are generous and spread across multiple stops over 4 hours. Most participants find it equivalent to a full meal. Come hungry.
