Food tours curated by Local Aromas
Italian food is loved all over the world but it is often regarded as just ‘pizza and pasta’. As any Italian will tell you, Italian cuisine is, in fact, regional and very varied. Many exquisite, unusual dishes are rarely found outside of their area of origin, so a food tour is the perfect way to understand how the varied history, climate and traditions of the different regions of the country have created such a wealth of gastronomic delights.
Want to eat when the locals eat? Want to know how and what to order on the menu? Want to avoid the tourist traps? Our tour guides not only explain and let you taste some of Rome’s best food, but will also give you indispensable advice on dining in the Eternal City, ensuring that you experience delicious Roman cuisine even long after the tour is over. For the best results, take a small group (2-10 pax) food tour on your first day in Rome to set yourself up with great recommendations and tips for the remainder of your trip.
