Such a fantastic experience! The food and wine was amazing! The history we learned was so much fun. We visited a wine cellar in an old Roman house from 80BC underneath a restaurant where we ate a pork stew made from a recipe exactly from a covenant from Julius Caesar’s personal chef. Perfect experience and highlight of our trip to Rome! Our guide, Luca Murphy, was wonderful!

For our first night in Rome we decided to do the Twilight Trastevere Rome Food Tour and it did not disappoint! My husband and I have done several tours with Eating Europe and the Trastevere tour was definitely one of the best. All of the food was delicious and paired with some incredible wine. Walking through Trastevere in the evening was amazing - it’s so different from the main attractions of Rome, but in a good way! Last but not least, we had a wonderful guide. Miri was so kind, shared a lot of history throughout the tour, and made sure everyone in the group was having the best time. Grazie mille Miri!

We recently did an evening tour with Giorgia and felt an instant connection from the start. Giorgia was a wealth of knowledge on not only the food culture of Roma but also the rich layers of history it was built on. We were treated to some special service from many popular spots that had people lining up to dine outside. Stopping to learn about ancient ruins and the meaning behind many of the religious symbols along the way. All of our questions were answered and after finishing of with a delicious gelato we were left feeling full and happy. We would thoroughly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Giorgia a true Italian.

Toni was an absolutely superb tour guide for the Trastevere food tour in Rome. The food was incredible, the restaurants felt intimate (we got early entry before the general public for a few of them). Her storytelling is top notch and she is fast paced, in the BEST way. When you go to Rome you want to absorb the culture as best as you can in a short amount of time, and this tour was perfect for that. I also felt there was great camaraderie within our group because Toni started by asking everyone to introduce themselves. This led to great conversations with strangers while we ate great food and drank great wine. Toni was also super caring—I didn’t have my evening plans lined up for after the tour, and she asked me, “How are you getting home?” When I told her I wasn’t sure where I was going, she walked me to the nearest taxi pick up to make sure I was safe. As a 29-year-old solo female traveler, I felt so comforted Toni took the time to care for me. THANK YOU TONI YOU AMAZE ME GO OFF QUEEN 😍

Our food tour in Italy was an absolute highlight of our trip, and it was made unforgettable thanks to our incredible guide, Ricardo. From the very beginning, Ricardo’s passion for food, culture, and history shone through. He not only introduced us to authentic local dishes but also shared the fascinating stories and traditions behind each one, which made every stop so much more meaningful.
The pacing of the tour was perfect—we never felt rushed, and yet we covered so many hidden gems that we never would have discovered on our own. Ricardo made sure that everyone felt comfortable and engaged, and he had the wonderful ability to make the group feel like old friends by the end of the day.
What truly stood out was Ricardo’s warmth and genuine love for what he does. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible, even giving us tips and recommendations we continued to use for the rest of our trip.
If you’re looking for an authentic, delicious, and unforgettable way to experience Italy, this food tour is a must—and make sure you get Ricardo as your guide. He turned a great tour into an extraordinary memory.
