About this tour
Follow the aromas of fresh pizza and sizzling supplì through Rome on a food-and-history walk led by a Roman archaeologist. This Rome Food and History Tour pairs generous tastings with stories and tucked-away corners of the Eternal City.
Begin with a typical Roman aperitif in the narrow streets of Campo de’ Fiori, then sample pizza al taglio from a bakery opened in 1880. Continue to a family-run friggitoria, where supplì has been made by the same family since 1860, and pair the savory bite with beer and a surprise. At another distinctive stop, taste cheeses and cold cuts produced on a farm just outside Rome. Water, wine, beer, and the local vino e gassosa accompany more than 15 food and wine tastings, with a sweet finish near Piazza Navona.
Along the way, discover the city through its neighborhood food traditions and family businesses, including a historic bar owned by the same family for seven generations. Meet in front of Antico Bar Mariani at Via dei Pettinari 44. Share any dietary requirements in advance; a vegetarian option is available. Come hungry and experience Rome one local bite at a time on this Rome Food and History Tour.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.78 from 36 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.9.
