Rome Food Tours Reviews - Our 23 Top Picks (Updated May 2025)

We’ve done our fair share of Rome food tours—some amazing, others… not so much. If you're planning to explore the city through its delicious food, here's what to expect and what to watch out for.

A typical Rome food tour lasts around 2.5 to 4 hours and usually includes 5–10 tasting stops. You’ll visit local markets, bakeries, street food stalls, and family-run restaurants while sampling Roman classics like supplì, pizza al taglio, fresh pasta, cheeses, cured meats, and of course, authentic gelato.

The best tours are led by local guides or food experts who bring Rome’s history, culture, and neighbourhoods to life while you eat your way through the city.

They also tend to keep the groups small, the walking pace relaxed, and the vibe super friendly and immersive.

That said, not all food tours in Rome are created equal.

We’ve been on a few that didn’t quite live up to the hype—tiny food portions, underwhelming stops, and guides who seemed disengaged or rushed. Some of these tours felt overpriced for what we got. Those ones didn’t make our list.

So we’re sharing only the crème de la crème of Rome food tours—the ones that truly impressed us with plenty of food, great guides, and an authentic Roman experience from start to finish.

We’ve also put together a list of our handpicked food tours not just in Rome, but across other Italian cities—because once you start eating your way through Italy, it’s hard to stop!

Read our honest review of The Roman food tour with a visit to Trionfale market!

We had a fantastic experience on this 4-hour Rome food tour in Prati—definitely one of the best food tours we've done in Italy!

We were staying at Eccelso Hotel, so it was easy to reach the meeting point and connect with our amazing guide, Raluca. The tour started with a relaxed coffee stop on a local café terrace, where we had espresso and one of the best cannoli we've ever tried.

Then came the pizza al taglio, which was outstanding. The slices were topped generously, and our favourites were with potatoes and lots of mortadella. We liked it so much, we went back on our own several times.

A highlight was visiting the Trionfale Market, a place we didn’t even know existed in Rome. It’s full of fresh produce, cheeses, meats, and ready-made Italian classics like parmigiana, porchetta, and more pizza. We tasted bruschetta, prosciutto, eggplant parmigiana, and enjoyed some great wine.

The seated lunch at a local trattoria was perfect—delicious fresh pasta, more wine, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We finished with a stop at a gelateria, where the gelato was outstanding.

This food tour has over 400 five-star reviews for a reason—everything was well-paced, authentic, and delicious. After the tour, we also visited Castroni gourmet store on Via Cola di Rienzo to pick up some tasty Italian food souvenirs.

If you're a foodie visiting the city, this is a must-do. Among all the Rome food tours, this one truly stands out for its quality, variety, and authentic local feel.

Our Food Tour Through Rome’s Jewish Ghetto & Campo de’ Fiori - honest review:

When in Rome… eat everything—and thanks to Food Tours of Rome, we did just that on one of our most memorable nights in the city!

We wanted something more authentic than the usual tourist dinner, and this Rome night food tour through the Jewish Ghetto and Campo de’ Fiori delivered beyond our expectations. From start to finish, it was a perfect mix of incredible food, fascinating history, and local charm.

The tour started in Piazza Mattei, a postcard-perfect square tucked away in the Jewish Ghetto. Our guide, Roberta, was warm, funny, and deeply knowledgeable—she really brought the area’s history to life.

We began with the famous Carciofi alla Giudia (Jewish-style fried artichokes), which were crispy, golden, and absolutely delicious. Even if you’re not a big veggie person, this dish might convert you.

Next came a visit to a beloved local bakery for hot, fresh pizza Margherita, paired with a cold beer. Simple, authentic, and absolutely packed with flavour.

As we walked toward Campo de’ Fiori, we soaked up the city’s evening buzz and learned the dramatic backstory of Giordano Bruno’s statue in the square—one of many little stories that made the tour so rich.

A relaxing stop for wine and antipasti gave us a taste of Italy’s dolce vita. We had a generous platter of cured meats and cheeses, all beautifully paired with a glass of local wine. It felt like we were living in a movie.

Then came dinner at a truly unique spot—a restaurant built into the ancient ruins of the Theatre of Pompey. The setting was magical, and the food (including traditional Roman pasta dishes) was just as impressive.

Dessert was a full experience on its own. First, a heavenly tiramisù from one of the city’s most beloved spots. Then, rich espresso from the iconic Caffè Sant’Eustachio—a must for any coffee lover (and yes, you can take some beans home!).

We ended the night at a gelateria with a jaw-dropping variety of flavours, from classics like stracciatella to more adventurous picks like lemon basil and chestnut.

What we loved most about this tour was how it blended food, history, and local life. It wasn’t rushed, it didn’t feel touristy—it felt like spending an evening with a local friend who really knows the city.

In our opinion, what’s the best time to take a walking food tour in Rome?

Each time of day brings its own charm to a Rome food tour. There's no wrong time to dive into the flavours of Rome. Choose the time that suits your rhythm and appetite, and let Rome’s culinary treasures guide you through its vibrant streets.

Kick off your Roman adventure with a morning food tour that dives into the city's beloved breakfast traditions. Think buttery cornetti (Italy’s answer to the croissant) and rich, velvety espresso—a classic local combo.

Many tours also wander through bustling markets like Campo de' Fiori or Mercato Trionfale, where fresh produce, cheeses, and local treats tempt every step of the way. With so many bites along the route, you probably won’t need a separate breakfast—or even lunch!

Here are some of the top morning food tours in Rome worth checking out:

• Secret Food Tours in Rome's Centro Storico
• Food Tours of Rome in Trevi and Campo de' Fiori
• Devour food tour in Testaccio (great for avoiding tourist crowds)

By the afternoon, the city's energy picks up. This is the perfect time to explore Roman street food, from supplì to porchetta sandwiches. Afternoon tours take you through food markets, trattorias and specialized shops.

You'll have the chance to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of popular neighbourhoods like Trastevere or Monti.

Several companies offer afternoon Rome food tours in these areas.

The Roman Food Tour provides experiences in both Trastevere and Prati, while Gourmetaly offers Rome food tour in Campo de' Fiori, Jewish Ghetto, and Trastevere with multiple departure times throughout the afternoon.

As the sun sets, Rome comes alive with a different kind of magic—perfect for an evening Rome food tour. These tours often begin with an aperitivo (a pre-dinner drink with light bites) and flow into a relaxed, multi-course meal.

It’s also the best time to soak in the city’s trattoria culture, where charming, family-run spots dish out classic Roman favorites in a warm, lively setting.

Our favourite night food tour of Rome is the one taking place in the Jewish Ghetto and Campo de' Fiori!

Both Carpe Diem Tours and Devour Tours offer evening food tours in Rome's Trastevere (very popular!).

Eating Europe's Twilight Trastevere Rome food tour is among the best-rated.

5 Tips for picking the perfect food tour in Rome

1. 🍕 Follow Your Foodie Heart
   Are you all about exploring local markets like we are? Then a morning tour with a stop at Trionfale Market will be right up your alley. Prefer street food, wine tastings, or pasta dinners? Rome’s got tours to satisfy every craving.
   
   
2. 👥 Choose Small Groups for a More Personal Experience
   We always go for tours with no more than 8 people. It’s more fun, relaxed, and you actually get to chat with the guide and your fellow foodies. Want a custom vibe? Book a private tour!
   
   
3. ⭐ Check the Reviews Before Booking
   Always peek at traveler reviews to see what people loved (or didn’t). Consistently great feedback = a safe (and tasty) bet.
   
   
4. ⏰ Pick a Time That Matches Your Travel Style
   Early riser? A morning tour could be perfect—and you might even skip lunch. Prefer slow starts? An afternoon or evening tour might suit your rhythm better. There’s no wrong answer!
   
   
5. 🥗 Ask About Dietary Restrictions Upfront
   Most Rome food tours can accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, or non-alcoholic needs—just let them know in advance. Guides are usually happy to make it work.
   
   

What food not to miss in Rome, Italy?

When you join a food tour in Rome, get ready for an amazing journey through the city’s rich culinary traditions—you’ll taste some of the best food Rome has to offer!

Bon appétit, or as the Romans say, Buon appetito!

• Roman pasta - Simple Roman pasta dishes like spaghetti carbonara and cacio e pepe are some of the best highlights on a Rome food tour. If you're after something heartier, opt for amatriciana, which boasts a robust tomato sauce and cured pork cheek. Try tasteful Roman pasta on Eating Europe's Rome food tour in Testaccio or The Roman Guy's Hidden gems of Trastevere.
  
  
• Saltimbocca alla Romana - Made of thin slices of veal or pork, topped with prosciutto and sage, then deliciously cooked in white wine and butter. A truly captivating blend of flavours!
  
  
• Supplì - Crispy and gooey fried rice balls filled with meat sauce and mozzarella. You'll eat yummy supplì on this Rome food tour in historic centre and this food tour of Rome in Trastevere.
  
  
• Porchetta - Roasted pork seasoned with an aromatic mix of spices and herbs. You'll find stalls at food markets selling porchetta by the slice, perfect when paired with freshly baked focaccia.
  
  
• Carciofi alla Giudia - Artichokes prepared in the Jewish style, which are crispy and golden outside, yet tender inside. Try this Roman treat on the evening food tour in Jewish Ghetto and Campo de' Fiori.
  
  
• Fiori di zucca ripieni - A delightful starter often on menus from late spring through summer. These zucchini flowers are stuffed with fresh ricotta or mozzarella and anchovies, then fried or oven-baked.
  
  
• Pizza al taglio - You can enjoy a slice for just €2 to €3, topped with anything from mozzarella and mortadella to smoked ham, zucchini flowers, potatoes, or artichokes (this Roman food tour features mouth-watering pizza).
  
  
• Pinsa Romana - Similar to pizza, but oval-shaped snack, usually crafted from a mix of flours, including wheat, spelt, and oat, adorned with mostly seasonal toppings.
  
  
• Gelato - Choose from a multitude of classic and imaginative flavours. All food tours in Rome include gelato tasting!
  
  
• Cannoli - Typical Sicilian sweet made of fried dough shells filled with a sweet and creamy ricotta mixture. So addictive! We adore cannoli from Nonna Vincenza, a Sicilian pasticceria you can find in Rome.
  
  
• Maritozzi - Incredibly soft and light buns, split down the middle and heaped with perfectly whipped cream. These tasty buns are a favorite breakfast item with coffee, reasonably priced at around €2.

Our top food spots in Rome (beyond the tours)

• Al Forno della Soffitta (Via Piave 62) - We found this cozy spot near Piazza Fiume and Villa Borghese — total hidden gem! The pizza was amazing with a crispy crust and soft center. They also serve great Italian classics like mozzarella di bufala, fresh pastas, risottos, and a dreamy tiramisù. Friendly staff, reasonable prices — we’d go back in a heartbeat.
• Bonci Pizzarium (Via della Meloria 43) - A bit out of the way, but absolutely worth it! The thick, crispy-yet-soft pizza base and creative toppings blew us away. It’s one of the best pizza spots we tried in Rome — and they’ve got loads of vegetarian choices too.
• Pinsa 'mpò (Via dei Gracchi 7) - Right near the Vatican, this little pinseria was such a great find. The pinsas were super tasty and fresh — baked right after you order. We also loved their supplì! Limited seating, but perfect for take-away. Cheap, quick, and delicious.
• Alla Rampa dei Gracchi (Via dei Gracchi 90) - Another gem close to the Vatican. We had amazing traditional dishes — carbonara, steak, saltimbocca, lasagne, and tiramisù that was next-level. The vibe is warm and welcoming, and the wine list is solid. Great spot after sightseeing!
• Hedera Gelateria (Borgo Pio 179) - Hands down, some of the best gelato we had in Rome — pistachio and dark chocolate were our faves. It’s close to the Vatican too, and they also serve incredible cannoli and tiramisù. Super sweet service as well.
• Faro - Caffè Specialty (Via Piave 55) - We stopped here after walking from Villa Borghese — such a chill café with amazing cappuccinos and fresh cornetti. Great spot for breakfast or a little afternoon treat. The staff were lovely and prices were super fair.
