Your LivTours Private Rome Food Tour starts in the Jewish Quarter where Rome’s food has many of its origins. This is a hidden neighborhood, but the beautiful area is right in the city center. Before sitting down, your expert private guide will take you on a short walking tour of this area. With an understanding of the basis of Rome traditions, you will sample some of the traditional dishes like fiori di zucca (fried tender zucchini flowers), fried artichokes, and fried baccalà (fried cod) with a glass of Prosecco in hand. Afterward, you will move onto your next stop. We will try what most Italians refer to as street food – pizza!

Enjoy a walk around the historic center of Rome, as you stop at various eateries, most of which are three-generational, to feast on authentic dishes the city and its locals love to eat!

Just steps away from the amazing Pantheon is a restaurant that has been operating since 1934. This is where you will try a typical Roman pasta dish called “alla Romana” – literally meaning the Roman style. Learn the rustic origins of these tasty pasta dishes. Allow your culinary guide to persuade you to try some of the more adventurous pasta as well! We promise you will not be disappointed.

The last stop on this foodie tour is for a gelato. You will learn how to decide which gelato makers are top-notch as your private guide explains the makings of a perfect gelato! Your next and last stop will be at a gelateria that is famous for using organic ingredients. This way you can see for yourselves what gelato with no additives tastes like!

This foodie dining experience is sure to leave you full and with the new knowledge on how to choose the best restaurants, gelaterias, and wines in the Eternal City and the rest of Italy!

  • Delicious and Historic Rome Food Tour with Tamara

    We absolutely loved our Rome food tour with Tamara! From start to finish, it was a perfect blend of history, culture, and incredible flavors. Tamara was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and brought so much energy to the experience. Exploring the Jewish Ghetto was a highlight. We learned about its rich history while tasting some truly special dishes, especially the fried artichoke and squash blossoms—both were unforgettable! Tamara’s storytelling added depth to every bite, and her passion for Roman cuisine and culture was contagious. We also loved enjoying cacio e pepe at a historic eatery- some of the best pasta of our trip! Every location felt thoughtfully chosen and added something unique to the tour. We even visited the site where Julius Caesar was killed, which added a fascinating historical layer to the tour. We highly recommend this tour and our guide, Tamara!

  • Perfect First Evening in Rome

    We booked this for our first night, and it helped us settle into the city immediately. Our guide Davide was warm and friendly, making us feel like we were dining with a local friend. We covered a lot of ground, both in terms of food and sights, but it never felt tiring. Highly recommend.

  • A Delicious Journey Through Rome

    I thought I knew Italian food, but this tour showed me just how much variety there is in Roman cuisine alone. We tried dishes I’d never heard of. Walking from the Jewish Quarter to the Pantheon, our guide Luca shared little stories about the buildings we passed. A wonderful time was had.
