Our guide Marco was knowledgeable, helpful and made it easy to identify the different food presentations. We also loved the little known historical sights between each location. It was a local view of the city. So much fun and delicious.

We had a small’ish group so it made it more personable. Greta was very knowledgeable about the city’s history and she made it interesting. All of the food choices were phenomenal!

My boyfriend and I had such a great evening on this food tour. The tour guide, Andrea, was very knowledgeable and took us to lots of interesting spots in the area in and around Piazza Navona. We took a relaxed stroll and there was just the right balance of walking and eating. The food was delicious! The variety was great too - it gave us the chance to try so many Italian classics that we otherwise might have missed. We were in a group of 9 and there was more than enough to go round. Overall we were full and very happy by the end of the evening!

We loved this food tour. We did the lunch time tour with Andrea and it was great, we had 6 different food stops, plus the market. The food was perfect and Andrea took us to some hidden sights along the way too. His local insights were really interesting and our teenage son thought this was the best thing we did!

Excellent experience!!! Tour guide Maria was very knowledgeable and fun to be with!!! It was pleasure to listen to her and she was able to answer all our questions. We learned a lot and would definitely recommend that tour while you are visiting Rome!!

Deborah_K

Maria was a great guide especially about the Roman culture and cuisine. However, this tour is not good value if you do not consume wine. To be clear, Maria was impressive as our guide and we would book her again on other sightseeing tours.

Overall, it was a good experience in that I walked away with knowledge that I didn't have before; however it still could have been better. First the highlights. Paola is very knowledgable and a great instructor. We made braised artichoke as an appetizer - learning how to properly clean, prepare and cook them, which was amazing as I had always wanted to do that with someone who knew how to do it properly. We also prepared three types of pastas (a stuffed, a long and gnocchi). Paola and her assistant walked through each of the steps and answered questions while making the experience engaging and fun. I really appreciated that there was wine flowing throughout and they weren't stingy with it. While the techniques and approach to preparing the food was great, I felt like the food itself fell short of expectations and it was one of my least favorite things I ate during my time in Rome. The food was under-seasoned and I felt like there was so much potential to make everything just a little better. They finished the food and plating for us, but it would have been better for everyone to finish their own plate. For example, we made a pomodoro sauce, which as explained, is the mother red sauce. From that it would have been very easy to give a few other ingredients to allow each person to turn it into one of the many Italian red sauces. The dessert was just chopped up persimmon, which felt like a missed opportunity and a disappointing ending. I understand the economics of the class, and as there were just 5 of us, I imagine they were trying to minimize costs, but still, food could have been better with just a minimal incremental investment in ingredients and a bit more autonomy over the final execution of the dishes. I would still recommend this class as a solid a learning experience and I am happy with the knowledge with which I walked away; however it did fall short of some of my expectations, especially in a city with such amazing food.
