Explore Testaccio Market with Roman host Chiara, cook family recipes in her home, and share a meal in this private 4-hour experience.

About this tour

Discover Rome through the flavors of Testaccio, a neighborhood where market stalls and home cooking bring local food culture to life. On this private Rome market tour and pasta class, host Chiara introduces you to the market and helps you choose fresh ingredients for the meal ahead.

Then head to Chiara’s home kitchen to prepare 2–3 traditional Italian dishes drawn from family recipes. You’ll learn alongside a local host, hear about Roman cuisine, and finish by sharing the meal together in her home. The experience is about connection and hospitality as much as cooking, rather than formal professional instruction. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available; share dietary requirements when booking. Groups larger than four walk 14 minutes from the market to the home. The residence does not have air conditioning.

Choose this Rome market tour and pasta class for a personal taste of everyday Roman life, from selecting ingredients at Testaccio Market to sitting down for a home-cooked meal with Chiara.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 2 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 7.2. Top 40% in Rome means it ranks in the top 40% of tours in Rome by this score.
