We had a fantastic time on our Devour tour at Testaccio Market with our guide, Mattia. Exploring this vibrant, off-the-beaten-path neighborhood was a delight, and the market's food vendors were incredible. Mattia knew all of them personally, giving us an authentic and immersive experience.
The food was outstanding, with the highlight being some of the best pasta we've ever had! Mattia's passion and knowledge made the tour both fun and informative. If you want a genuine Roman experience with amazing food, this tour is a must!

We enjoyed this group food tour. Started with coffee and a pastry that was great. Real Italian place. Then we went to the testaccio market which was former slaughterhouse and sampled from 4 different stalls - charcuterie (meats and cheeses), pizzette, fresh fruit and a sandwich. Then we had 3 different pastas at a sit down restaurant which were great and our favorite food items on the tour. Lastly we stopped for gelato. Our guide, whose name I am forgetting in a senior moment, was engaging and informative both about the history and the culture. Come hungry because you will eat quite a bit. I knew it wasn’t included in the tour, but I would have liked to stop at the Protestant cemetery which has such history and where John Keats is buried.
