I cannot recommend this place enough! Between the small intimate setting with my friend, and being taken care of by Miguel; absolutely top notch. For my first day in Rome, to experience this? Beyond happy to have started with this. Many things are now "ruined" for me back home in the States, because this spot just surpassed everything. Definitely worth experiencing, thank you for everything Miguel

Beautiful location. Fantastic wines, generous delicious pairings. Ordered some food after that was fantastic. We left with several bottles of wine because they were amazing. So glad we didn’t miss this experience.

Great experience with a very kind and knowledgeable host! We were able to travel through Lazio and more without leaving the table. A great way to get a tour of wine and food and very filling! For sure do not eat before coming. Would recommend to anyone in Rome even if you only have a day!

My boyfriend and I loved the wine tasting. We were the only ones which made it feel like a private booking and we really enjoyed that! The wine was absolutely delicious with super generous pours, and the food was also great. Would recommend to anyone visiting Rome!

The best wine and food! 5 wines with very generous pours and excellent food to accompany. Didn’t need to go for meal after we were all full. Met some lovely people and the host gave great explanations of each wine. A very enjoyable evening

Fabulous!

Fabulous experience!!! Miguel went above and beyond to take care of us and we completely appreciated all of his efforts. We really enjoyed the focus of Roma wine region, the food was delightful. We were invited to stay after our wine tasting experience to enjoy more wine and food. We cannot give enough praise to the professionalism of the staff and the chef. Please book this experience early in your trip as the wine education with benefit your entire stay in Rome. Bravo @ Il Segreto, bravo.

Fantastic premium experience and incredible value for money!

Andrew_P, Jan 2025

We booked this last minute due to rain so didn't really know know what to expect but wow! It exceeded our expectations and then some! They were super knowledgeable and genuinely happy for us to be there. The food and wine was fantastic with generous helpings of both finishing up with a fantastic pasta dish. In terms of value for money it really was incredible and we would have gladly paid more. Would definitely recommend!

Food and service were amazing, such great value for a great experience. Special memories for our 20th anniversary

Beyond expectations!

Francis_D, Aug 2024

What an incredible experience! Not only the wines were all outstanding, but also perfectly paired with the most amazing food you can imagine. And it all came with great explanations, history, fun facts, in a place that feels like home. A special thanks to Michele and Eddi, to the whole staff of Segreto, so friendly, professional, so well informed and kind. I felt welcomed since the moment it started to the moment it ended (which I wish was never to arrive!!!). It’s a great way to spend some time in Rome, either if you’re traveling solo or in a group. The restaurant is also a fantastic discovery! Can’t recommend this enough. Bravo!!!
