Best Food Tour Ever!

Morgan_S, Jul 2026

This was hands down the highlight of our trip to Italy! Every bite of food was absolutely delicious, and the wine just kept flowing. Not only did we get to enjoy incredible food, but we also learned so much about Roman cuisine, its history, and the local culture. You definitely get more bang for your buck & you’ll be absolutely stuffed by the end of the tour- so worth it! Our guide, Michael from New York, was fantastic—knowledgeable, entertaining, and made the entire experience so much fun. We explored several cities throughout Italy and booked many different tours and activities, but this was by far our favorite experience of the entire trip. If you’re visiting Rome, I can’t recommend this food tour enough. It is an absolute must-do!

Great food and wine....

Daniel_G, Jun 2026

Great food and wine. Michael shared lots of info on the assorted foods we tasted and got to try some unique wine as well.

We had a great time!

Tasha_P, Jun 2026

We had a fantastic time. The food was wonderful and our host was a lot of fun. So much food, but that was one of the things I had been looking forward to this trip- trying everything!

Such a great way to...

Nancy_T, Jun 2026

Such a great way to experience another aspect of Italy. Our guide Vincenzo was so fun and informative. Would recommend!

What a great way to spend the evening!

Shannon_B, Jun 2026

A food tour is my go to experience for a first day arrival in Rome after a long flight and time change adjustment. We met our guide, Tina, at 4:30 and for the next few hours she taught us about the details and standards of Italian food, including the UNESCO designation and offered us samples of a variety of foods and wines throughout the Prati neighborhood. There were many stories and laughter along the way with the seven people in our tour group. It was a splendid way to spend the evening!

Outstanding and high quality food tour

Thomas_P, Jun 2026

When it comes to food tours, this was the best culinary experience we have had so far in any country. The food and wine were really high end, starting with the aperitifos, which included different types of truffle items and 30 year basaltic vinegar. The stop for pizza had 4 different types for us to try at a place we’re locals go to get their pizza fix, and the dinner was at a restaurant with 2 courses. Finally dessert was at a top gelato place. 4 bottles of wine later and we were both tipsy and satiated. Chiara(sp) was an incredibly knowledgeable guide. This tour was all about the food…great facts, history, and culture.

Unforgettable food tour

Deborah_C, Jun 2026

Michael was amazing and very knowledgeable about his subject. We got to sample varied aspects of Roman food, including history of each. The wine was amazing. We also got to explore an authentic Roman market. Highly recommended!

Excellent taste of Rom.

Amy_H, Jun 2026

This is a great tour with a very knowledgeable guide. She was American (and Italian) so her English was great and very easy to understand. She did an excellent job. We all really enjoyed it.

Elevated food tour

jennyjahn, Jun 2026

Over the last few years we have taken food tours in different parts of Rome. This one was the best one yet! The food was elevated from the usual street food and fried artichoke, and the guide was engaging. Highly reccomend

Food Education and fabulous experience

Ursula_H, Jun 2026

Fabulous way to spend a Roman evening. Come very hungry because you will taste so much. Five stops and excellent guide.

A must do while in Rome!...

Monica_S, Jun 2026

A must do while in Rome! Vincenzo was wonderful and so knowledgeable. He made the whole tour fun & interesting for everyone! Food was amazing!

The BEST food and wine tour in Rome, perfect for small group or solo traveller!

Sarah_M, Jun 2026

AMAZING experience, highly recommend, you will have the best time! This is a well planned food tour that explores the suburb of Prati and allows you to indulge in all the local delights. Our guide was Michael, he was a local and in addition to being an expert guide and educator on all the details of the produce, ran an efficient and smooth tour. We were well fed and it was the perfect group size (7 of us) to get to know one another over delicious food and wine

The best food tour in Rome!

Neal_M, Jun 2026

This may be the best tour we've ever been on, and Vincenzo was the most wonderful guide. Vin's knowledge of all things cheese, meat, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pizza, pasta, Gelato and especially wine was astounding. And the hot Bin brought to the wonderful food made it taste even better! Four hours never went so fast or tasted so good! We'd give it 10 stars if that was an option!

Michael and this Food...

Tiffany_M, Jun 2026

Michael and this Food Tour are a MUST for foodies. Each stop and its regional significance/description were a culinary delight - from traditional items to masters of their craft. This was THE highlight of our 4 days in Rome. We finished the day SO full and SO enamored with each part of the experience - we wish we had done this experience first in our trip so we had the new knowledge to influence future meal location/choices. Thank you Michael was a lovely experience - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Michael was absolutely...

Richard_S, Jun 2026

Michael was absolutely tremendous! We had just landed hours earlier, and he was full of information and answered questions we had regarding meats, cheeses, wines, you name it! Allowed us to immediately get into the vibe of Rome and Italy in general…. Go hungry and thirsty!

Food Tour Super Fun

Robert_C, Jun 2026

Best wine tasting with Tina!

Brent_M, Jun 2026

Tina was a fabulous host for this five stop moving buffet with wine tasting! Great time with great food. Thanks, Tina!

Excellent in every way

Sarah_M, Jun 2026

Probably one of the best food tours I've done in Italy in 30 years. Michael was a joy, not only with his excellent knowledge of products, where food came from, history and classification, but never in a stale or boring delivery. Everything we ate was of the highest quality. The whole experience was so good I may book again as I've got another 2 weeks here. Bravo Michael

Awesome food and tons of fun!

Christopher_M, Jun 2026

Very funny and knowledgeable. Help us get a taxi back to the hotel. Food 2ae amazing....pace yourself and you'll have a grest time.

Wonderful Time

Adam_B, Jun 2026

Had a wonderful time on this tour. Giordiano was a great host, made it a lot of fun with his energy and knowledge. Food was all fantastic. Having done food tours in 7 different global cities we all agreed this was one of the best!

Food and wine from Romr

Vivien_W, Jun 2026

It was very good but there was more red wine than white wine. In fact, on the second stop there was nothing to drink if you did not like red wine

Great experience

Ronnie_s, Jun 2026

Tina was excellent, friendly and very knowledgeable- food was excellent- great experience, would highly recommend

Must Do While in ROMA

Gail_T, Jun 2026

Excellent food and wine tour with The Roman Food Tour. Highly recommend doing this tour while visiting Roma. We had a very nice evening with our tour guide Alessandra. She was very professional, polite and a pleasure to be around. She is very knowledgeable about the food and wines we sampled. We did a small group tour and started off as a group of strangers and ended up being friends. Come hungry, lots of delicious food!

Román food tour with Carlotta

Alma_R, Jun 2026

Save your appetite and pace yourself at every stop. Walking and limited amount of sitting down. The food was very good. Carlotta was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Worth it!

Cheryl_L, Jun 2026

Excellent experience with Michael! He was knowledgeable and friendly which made the food tour enjoable. The selection of food was also very tasty. Would highly recommend!

The Perfect Blend of Food, Wine, and Local Culture

Jamie_s, Jun 2026

We had an excellent time guided by Giordiano. The experience was full of fun, amazing food, and fascinating cultural insights. And plenty of wine to pair! One of the highlights was exploring areas away from the crowded tourist spots, which made the experience feel much more authentic and enjoyable. Giordiano was an outstanding guide: knowledgeable, engaging, and enthusiastic. He struck the perfect balance between keeping the tour informative and entertaining. We were very impressed with his passion and expertise, and he made the entire experience memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great food, wine, and local culture in a relaxed and authentic setting.

Best time ever

debra_b, Jun 2026

This was one of our best tours in Rome. We met some great people on our tour. Charlotte was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing. She was funny and knowledgeable. Highly recommed

Come with an empty...

Kay_s, May 2026

Come with an empty stomach. Tina was an amazing and knowledgeable guide, very pleasant and personable. I would suggest pairing the wine tasting with a light appetizer before or during for those who can’t tolerate alcohol on an empty stomach.
