Locals will tell you: rome food & drink isn’t complicated once you know the basics. Street stalls serve quick bites for pocket change, while rooftop restaurants turn local flavours into small‑plate art. Evening food tours weave through markets and explain what’s sizzling so you can order confidently next time. Vegan or gluten‑free? Most vendors will tweak dishes if you ask. Plan the basics, then let curiosity lead the way. Remember to carry a reusable water bottle and keep an eye on the local weather forecast so you’re never caught off guard.

I absolutely loved this cooking class! The chef was incredibly friendly, fun, and engaging, making the whole experience both educational and entertaining. I was able to follow along perfectly in English, and the instructions were clear and easy to understand. We learned so much about local cuisine and cooking techniques, and the food we prepared was absolutely delicious! The location is also super central, which made it really convenient to get to. All in all, a fantastic experience – I would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting!
Very good experience to enjoy and learn how to make fresh pasta and tiramisu. Chef Leo was fantastic leading and helping the class to succeed in making a delicious pasta.

The cruise lasted 60 minutes and most of the time all you could see was the banks of the river I didn't see any of the sights described there was no audio guide or description of where you were in the river it was disappointing
Very nice trip Very nice wine 🍷
Slightly short duration. The appetizers were really tasteless and uninteresting. And everything was cold, so for pesto pasta... inedible!
Very average food in an old ship with not a lot to see during the cruise.
The marketing for the event was a total scam. We had limited time in Rome and wasted it on this event. The food was terrible, the boat was old, and the river is unsightly. It was sold to me as a tour. Not one word was said about anything. The hostess was very nice. I give this a minus 0.

It was great, we learned a lot from our guide "Sushi" and the food was excellent. As was the cellar tour. I would absolutely recommend it.
Our tour guide Celeste was adorable, entertaining and told us lots of interesting information and fun facts about the great food. An all-round successful evening, thank you for that. I have rarely indulged in gluttony with such pleasure, but the food was also simply delicious.
We very much enjoyed Anna's tour. She was very knowledgeable. And........... when I told her I did not like cheese you could immediately see her thinking about how to cope with that bomb shell. And then she made it into something to joke about when, in the cheese tasting part, two of the other members of our group didn't eat there cheese either! She rang ahead to each eatery and asked if they could accommodate me and they did which shows how much they value her. Thank you Anna
Our Fod and Wine tour through Trastevere in Rome was fantastic. Kat was a great tour guide and explained so much of the history as we was walking through the authentic streets. The food, wine and beer was great. An easy booking process and detailed instructions for the meeting point, I would highly recommend. Thankyou Kat you were great, all the best in your future endeavours.
It was fun and a good introduction to italian food.
Smit was very warm and welcoming. He was kind and knew the local tips. I enjoyed the tour, thank you
We loved everything about our food tour! Our guide was Ester and she's everything we could have asked for. It was our favorite part of the trip and we'll definitely recommend it to everybody who's going to Rome! 🧡
Karina from Carpe Diem Tours was exceptional! Great personality made the whole experience fun. Her knowledge of the culture and food made everything interesting as we walked around Trastevere. Lots of funny anecdotes and jokes throughout kept it lively. Would highly recommend for anyone interested!
We truly enjoyed our tour with a fantastic guide Anna! Anna is very knowledgeable and fun guide who opened few secretes about traditional Roman food. We would definitely recommend to join a walking food tour, this is something different from regular sightseeing and will leave you with great memories
We enjoyed it immensely. What a great way to discover Rome this way. Anna is an enthusiastic guide who tells you everything about the food culture in Rome and so much more. Highly recommended.
Our Food and wine tour in Travestere was a very enjoyable experience. Getting to explore this area of Rome was a great bonus that adds to the history of this beautiful city . Our guide Theo, was very knowledgeable and helpful. He kept our group moving through every stop very efficiently and shared very valuable information with us. We highly recommend this tour!
