Pasticceria Valzani

In this self-guided tour you will discover, taste and enjoy some of the best food in one of Rome's oldest and most vibrant neighbourhoods, Trastevere. From a historic local wine bar and unique Roman specialties to dinner at a traditional-style trattoria and renowned cannoli - you will taste the very best of what Rome has to offer at night. The entire experience will last about 3 hours and will include four locals' favorite spots with 15 Roman specialties. I will share with you exactly what to order in each place as well as all the essential information on Italian food culture, history and traditions. And at the end, as a bonus, I will give you two more restaurant recommendations in the neighborhood ;)

Roman cuisine is so much more than the ordinary pasta and pizza that everyone assumes at first instance. Being highly influenced by the 'poor person's' concept of cooking, our cuisine is filled with traditional historic recipes, which have been handed down through several generations and transformed over the course of time. With hundreds of restaurants all serving their own versions of classics and innovative dishes, you will have a culinary experience that will exceed your expectations. Having said this, Rome can be a very confusing and overwhelming city to visit. With so many restaurants, bars and food establishments in general to choose from, it's very easy to fall into tourist traps. This is my guide with all my favourite food and beverage spots that you must visit when in Rome!

The markets are the heart of the city. My favorite markets in Rome and where to eat nearby. This is more than just markets, also some of my favorite neighborhoods.
