Ristorante with a Roman - dinner experience
Good food, and even better company (we’re not biased, promise). And some supplì, pasta and secondi.
What makes this experience special
Key highlights
- Eat and drink like a Roman in a classic trattoria or osteria, with the excellent company of one of our hosts (alright, we might be slightly biased but they really are wonderful)
- Discover the places where the locals really eat and try the classic dishes that are served there
- Learn about Italian food culture and the dishes that are eaten as antipasti, primi and secondi
- Enjoy an authentic meal, trying traditional Roman dishes made with seasonal produce - it’s all about hyper-local ingredients, cooked with passion (ah, a cliche, but it has to come from somewhere!)
- Enjoy a glass of regional wine, beer or soft drink with your meal
- Get tips and recommendations from your host about the best places to eat in the city

How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
You’ll join one of our local Rome hosts to enjoy dinner together, the Italian way. When discovering a new city, we find there’s no better way of learning about a new culture than through its food.
And a hands-on approach is key, so you’ll need to eat a lot, obviously. You’ll head to an osteria or trattoria recommended by your host, and discover Rome’s hyper-local, seasonal dishes prepared and served the local way.
Your host will share with you their city’s food culture and recommend dishes to order for your antipasti, primi and secondi, and even dolce if you’ve still got space!
Antipasto means ‘before your meal’, and in Rome (depending on the season), there’s nothing better than fried zucchini flowers, or perhaps supplì, fried rice balls. For primi, what about a cacio e pepe, one of Rome’s beloved pasta dishes - it may only consist of pasta, black pepper, and Pecorino Romano cheese, but it’s an art form to get right!
Secondi could be braised oxtail, and just like that, you’ve eaten like a Roman! And everyone knows, good food tastes even better with good company, which is where your host comes in.
We wish we could join you for dinner!

We did the 3 hour walking tour through Rome with Alessandra. We've done and enjoyed many tours, but Alessandra was quite possibly the best tour guide we have ever had! She is friendly, kind, energy, enthusiastic, and full of interesting information. It was my husband and me and our two sons (16 and 14) and she took time to talk to each of us and get to know us and keep us all engaged. We didn't come prepared with a complete list of things we wanted to see, and we had already scheduled to see many main attractions on separate days, but Alessandra was able to think on the fly and come up with so many interesting places to visit that weren't already on our itinerary. Her passion and enthusiasm for the city of Rome and the history associated with Rome is evident and comes through in her tours. By the end of the three hours we felt we had made a friend and we were sorry to have the tour come to an end. We all had such a good time. Can't recommend her or the tour highly enough!! Thanks, Alessandra!

Olga provided us with a wonderful walking tour of Rome, showing us sites we never would have found without a knowledgeable guide. She went above and beyond to confirm the tour with us as I lost my cell phone in the airport prior to arrival. She was very patient while we explored sites and offered additional time frequently. She was very friendly, went at a good pace, and provided us with a wealth of information. I highly recommend her!

We took a walk with local tour in Rome on 26th December, ‘24 with Luca. Luca was very professional and friendly guide. He had in-depth knowledge of the attractions in Rome. He is very informative and also has a great sense of humour. Luca is also a good photographer and know how to click good snaps. We were very impressed by his knowledge of Rome’s history, culture, food and modern day Roman lifestyle. I would highly recommend Luca as your local tour guide in Rome.
