A great truffle hunt!

Richard_P, Feb 2025

Did this tour in January. Was suprised to see there was a Truffle Hunting tour in Rome as most truffle tours were for Northern Italy. Niccolo and Giovanni picked me up at a metro station and drove about 20km out of the city center to the private estate. It was a bit of a rainy day. I was the only one on the tour and Niccolo and Giovanni explained the process to me and what I can expect. After some time of walking through some trees and brush, the dogs "sniffed" out two large truffles. After the "hunt", we went back to the estate to warm up. The tour description included a cooking demonstraton. But to my surprised, I got the privilege to make pasta with chef Jacapo. The dishes he prepared using the truffles that we found, from starter, entree and dessert was very delcious. It was great meal with lots of wine topped this tour and comraderie with some wonderful hosts, including the general manager of the estate. In summary, I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a foodie experience and some outdoor time. Also, again many thanks to Niccolo, Giovanni and Jacapo...Ciao!
