MONTI Food & Secrets w/an Archaeologist

Among the most picturesque districts of Rome, there undoubtedly is the Rione Monti, that - more than any others - has maintained that authentic atmosphere described in the film "La dolce vita" by Federico Fellini.

So happy to have found this experience! The sweet treats were amazing, but the tour and all the insider information we got, was even better! This was the first thing we did while in Rome and I’m so glad, now we have a staring point and some great recommendations on things to try and places to go back and explore more. Having these guys as guides felt like we were meeting up with some old friends and catching up rather then being lead around by strangers. They are passionate and love what they are doing and it absolutely shows. We can’t wait to come back and do one of the other tours Roma Eat (check out their website) provides! Thank you so much!

Description

If you are searching for a unique experience that combines Food, History and Secret Places in the oldest District of Rome, this is the experience for you.

Rione Monti is a quiet treasure, very close to the Colosseum and Forum, but complitly off the beaten paths.

In 90 minutes you will taste some of the most famous products of our culture, in hidden places where only Romans go, and where we are sure you'll go back many times during your stay.

Being all archeologists, for the first part of the experience we will take a "time machine" together, showing you around amazing little details around the area, secret passages and hidden ruins that talk about the daily life of 2000 years of history.

We are even a big foodies and In the second part of the experience, we will taste the best of Rome starting with a an amazing espresso in one of the last “Torrefazione” (coffee roastery) of the city.

We will then jump in the smallest local market of the city center, having a Rustico (Typical Italian savory pie)just out of the oven.

Out off the beaten paths, we will taste some amazing cheeses and salami from a tiny grocery of the area.

Our day will continue with a deep fried Suppli and a round crunchy Pizza: two of Rome's best street food products.

We will finish with a "Maritozzo" a sweet roman tradition, really hard to find in other places =)

Amazing experience!
Tiramisù in a cup of chocolate: AMAZING” I am a tiramisù lover and the small tiramisù served in a cup of chocolate is something I will not forget! Almost two hours tasting different sweets and listening to really interesting and funny stories about Rome. I appreciated that the guide, Selene, is a real local and also an archeologist (but she said all the team are archeologist). We were in a relatively small group, with 5 other people, and the organization was perfect. Selene took care of every aspect and all the tastings were well organized
Excellent
“A family tour” I joined the tour with my wife and two kids. Considering the price, that is not too high compared to other tours I did, we decided to book the food also for the kids (9 and 4 years old) even if they usually do not eat that much, and… It ended up with them eating also our food!!! Everything was superb, but the tiramisù was the best. Especially because… You will eat it in one bite (no spoiler, but there is a surprise on how it is served). One hour and half of pure pleasure
