Learn the real background history of everyone's favorite food. Thereafter the tour will move on to another famous part of the Italian food culture: pasta! You will be taken on a short walk along the cobble streets and pass the Pantheon on the way to the restaurant. Opening in 1934, the restaurant has been in the same family for three generations.

Sit back while your guide manages the orders and makes sure you get to have a lovely time while you taste some of the best food and some carefully chosen quality wines.

During this Roman food tour your guide will give you tips on how to pick your gelato bar. Choose your own favorite flavors and see what gelato with no additives tastes like! You will be offered a true dinner experience and not just small taste samples. After your three-hour Rome food tour you will have had a complete dinner and you will have learned how to continue to enjoy delicious top-notch meals for the rest of your time in Rome and Italy.
