Does anyone have a good recommendation for a food tour they did while in Rome? I have done my research on several tours but looking to see personal experiences on those that you have done. Looking for a lunch or dinner tour in the area.

I have done Eating Europe food tours on my last two trips to Rome. I've done the Trastevere one and The Testaccio market one. They are an excellent company!

Hi, I too have done the Eating Europe food tour - to Testaccio, it was GREAT. Despite having been to Rome many times to visit Italian relatives, Testaccio was a new neighborhood to for us. Further from busy Rome, it's really a breath of fresh air, more of a working class neighborhood with a bit of gentrification. I seem to recall we took a 9:30AM / maybe 10AM tour, walked through old neighborhoods & stopped at the market before having an amazing lunch. And ending with ice cream!

Another vote for Eating Europe/Rome. We too did the Testaccio tour and absolutely loved it. After the tour we walked to the Protestant Cemetery to see John Keats grave and then walked back to Central Rome via the orange grove and rose gardens. No crowds all day!

Another vote for Eating Europe. IMO Twilight Trastevere is probably the best, but the Testaccio tour is a really great way to see a real neighborhood that I think can be hard to appreciate on your own.
