WHAT YOU’LL DO

Immerse yourself in the authentic Roman culture and indulge in the genuine flavors of Rome on a private Rome food tour. Accompanied solely by your chosen group and a dedicated Streaty guide, we’ll take you off the typical tourist paths and into the vibrant heart of the Testaccio district. This isn’t your ordinary tour; it’s a personal exploration of the city’s culinary scene and daily life, free from tourist traps. We’re all about providing genuine cultural encounters, not just tasting tours!

Our journey begins at Trastevere train station with a sweet greeting—a taste of the iconic Roman Maritozzo from a specially selected café, where you’ll also have the chance to connect with your fellow travelers. Then, we’ll head to the Testaccio Market to unveil the local street food culture, sampling dishes and delights rarely encountered by tourists, like the polpetta di lesso, Roman tripe and regional cheeses. Crafted by our knowledgeable Streaty guides, this culinary adventure promises a perfect blend of quality, quantity, and authenticity. Indulge in crunchy supplì and soft smoked cheese while sipping on regional wines, as we share the stories behind each delectable bite and offer insights into local culture.

Of course, no visit to Testaccio would be complete without tasting traditional Roman pasta, and we’ll unveil a hidden gem of the district for this private Rome food tour experience. But it’s not just about the food! Throughout the tour, we’ll also show you the history and traditions of Rome, guide you through the daily lives and passions of its inhabitants, and even delve into the city’s fervent football culture.

WHAT YOU’LL EAT

At Streaty tours, we exclusively feature regional cuisine, holding firm to this standard. Say farewell to parmigiano, pizza, spritz, mozzarella, and cannoli! Instead, delve into over eight traditional recipes from Rome and the Lazio region. With our focus on street food experiences, expect a tour packed with maritozzo with whipped cream, supplì, polpettas, Roman tripe, cheeses, pasta, and desserts. You won’t go hungry, but you’ll definitely leave happy. While most tastings are grab-and-go, we’ve arranged a few indoor seated sessions for added comfort.
