A food tour with a pyramid

This was quite an interesting food tour. The stops combined local restaurants, as well as a trip to see a pyramid within a cemetery. It certainly is not your typical food tour however we had a totally enjoyable time. We had stops featuring wines, cured meats, cheese, plus delicious chocolate. We had a stop at the market, which featured delicious fresh tomatoes, bruschetta, and a delicious supli. This contained rice, cheese, a little meat and flavored with tomato sauce, surrounded by a croquette. Far better than Arancini. Then onto the cemetery and the pyramid. Well, we didn’t know what to think about this when it was announced that we were going there however, it soon became clear the history of this pyramid and its intended occupant. You’ll have to take the tour to understand the history of this pyramid built in 80 BC, how it came to be, and what came of the intended occupant. Then it was off to a delicious Italian restaurant that was built one level under a terra-cotta mountain. You must learn about this story of the terra-cotta. We had three courses of pasta that included carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, and Amatriciana. These were all paired with delicious red and white wine. We toasted our tour guide Dario with the delicious wine. Then to end up the tour, we visited a delicious Gelato shop The tour was conducted by Dario. He is quite knowledgeable and interesting tour guide. We had many lively interesting discussions of historical figures as well as the foods, preparations and wines.
