Description

Experience the Hidden Flavors of Rome

You can choose the time that best suits your itinerary: 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM, or 7:00 PM.

What to Expect
Enjoy a curated selection of traditional Italian delicacies, perfectly paired with exceptional wines, all served in an atmospheric underground cellar. Our expert staff will guide you through the tasting, sharing fascinating insights into food origins, pairings, and wine tasting techniques.

The menu features seasonal and artisanal products recognized by the Slow Food Presidia, an organization that supports small producers and protects culinary heritage at risk of disappearing. Each bite tells a story—connecting you with the land, the people, and centuries of tradition.
