What makes Devour Rome Testaccio Market Food Tour a unique experience ?
Start your morning in true Italian style with coffee and pastries in a bakery that serves as the meeting point for locals all over the neighborhood.
Following a typical Roman’s daily routine, you’ll make your way to the local market. While there, you’ll meet a few of the passionate vendors—some of whom have had their stalls for 40 years. Try incredible local pizza, farm-fresh vegetables, and artisanal cheeses and cured meats. You’ll also enjoy a sandwich from a stall that locals can’t stop talking about—and revisiting time and time again.
A 19th century slaughterhouse that employed many Romans and led to the rise of the modern neighborhood.
After the market, it’s time for lunch. You’ll head to a family-run trattoria to try a pasta with true local roots paired with Italian red wine. As you eat, your guide will give you a crash course in Italian mealtimes.
Between each foodie stop, your local guide will point out important landmarks, including an Ancient Roman archaeological site. This mountain of broken pottery is a testament to the neighborhood’s commercial roots.
End the day by topping all these delicious bites off with gelato. Enjoy a cup or cone of the flavors of your choice at a historic gelateria serving up delicious gelato made on site every morning.
