We did this tour with guide Stefania. We were warmly welcomed and Stefania instantly made us feel super comfortable.
We started at a small caffe and offered a delicious plate of cheeses and bruschetta with Prosecco pairing, next we moved on to a local meat/cheese shop where we tried various options. It’s clear that Stefania has a great relationship with the family owners and all the meats/cheeses were explained in great detail and paired with a delicious glass of chilled red wine.
Our 3rd stop was Bonci, known for its expensive pizza and each flavour was so delightful! We then walked to a restaurant where we tasted Barolo soaked meat and chutney and cheese with dried grape on top, next a large dish of pasta (we had a choice of 3 options) it was super tasty, the best pasta during our trip to Rome! I had mentioned at the beginning that it was my partners birthday and Stefania asked the group and waiters to sing Happy Birthday whilst offering us all a Limoncello, it was such a lovely touch.
Lastly we visited a Gelato shop which was a sweet end to our tour. Stefania was so personable and attentive for the whole duration, ensuring everyone had transport back to their accommodation at the end too. Stefania definitely made this activity a 10/10, we would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Rome!
