Overview

This isn’t your typical Rome food tour—it’s a mystery and surprise experience created by locals who know the city inside out. It’s made for curious travelers who want to skip the obvious and enjoy authentic Roman food with a fun twist.

You’ll explore one of the most beautiful and exclusive areas of Rome, walking from the Spanish Steps to the Vatican through hidden streets and local-only spots. We won’t reveal the full menu, but here’s a hint: it starts with an aperitivo and ends with dessert. Along the way, you’ll enjoy two drinks and a variety of outstanding local bites.

A family-run company sharing Italy’s best food traditions since 2016, this tour is all about quality, authenticity, and fun—with the added thrill of not knowing what comes next.

Perfect for solo travelers, couples, and small groups looking to experience a different (and delicious) side of Rome.
