Reviews for San Giovanni and Appio Sightseeing, Food and Wine Tour
Unforgettable food, wine and so much more

OK, I have found my next husband. Or boyfriend. My spouse does not mind. On a FOOD PLUS tour of the San Giovanni/Appio neighborhood with the charming Giorgia, we met Francesco Loreti at his mind-blowing cheese shop (La Formaggeria) at the excellent local market. We stayed far too long, enjoying one another's company, meeting local chefs and neighborhood characters. Francesco loves cheese beyond measure and is humble about his extraordinary position as an international judge. He even made us try a terrific English cheese, this year awarded first prize, best in the world. And he is so cute, don't you think? But wait, there was MUCH more...
Pizza with the freshest mozzarella & basil. Then pasta and a perfect frascati superiore wine for lunch at a beloved area ristorante, Roberto & Loretta. There we ran into theatre, film and TV star Leo Gullotta!!! He was sitting quietly at a table next to us, acknowledging greetings politely, comfortable because no one fussed or annoyed him.
We pulled ourselves away to sample some of Italy's best gelato down the block at Riva Reno. I had two flavors - tart, fresh limone and sweet fragola (strawberry). My fella had toasted pine nut and morena (fior di latte with black cherry) con panna (with whipped cream).
Then we wrapped up the afternoon at the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano -- a place we have always meant to see, the Pope's first residence and church.
Our guide Giorgia is such a sweet and lovely young lady, originally from Calabria, with perfect English (and patience with our poor Italian). She made us promise to visit her mountains, the sea, and other attractions in the far south some time. She even sent us links to some of her favorite Italian singers and songs.
It was a profoundly personal, meaningful tour once again, with this fine company.
Great time, solid tour!

Giorgia and Mario were great! They made our walk a ton of fun! It's worth doing, but bring your appetite as there is a good amount of food delivered during the walk.
