Rome on a plate: what you will try on a food tour
Carbonara
Silky pasta cloaked in a creamy sauce of eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, and pancetta, elevated with a playful burst of black pepper.
Amatriciana
Al dente pasta tossed in a sauce made of juicy tomatoes, salty guanciale (cured pork jowl), and Pecorino Romano, spiced with red pepper flakes.
Cacio e Pepe
Pasta tossed in a sauce made with just two ingredients — Pecorino Romano and black pepper — creating a harmony of sharp and spicy notes.
Supplì
Crispy, golden fried rice balls filled with tomato sauce and gooey mozzarella—a Roman street food surprise.
Saltimbocca alla Romana
Tender veal topped with prosciutto and sage, and cooked in a luscious white wine and butter sauce.
Artichokes alla Romana
Artichokes, tenderized in white wine and garlic, and flavored with mint.
Gricia
Guanciale takes center stage with Pecorino Romano and black pepper coming together to create a sauce similar to Carbonara, sans eggs.
Porchetta
Deboned pig, seasoned with herbs, wrapped in its rind, and slow-cooked to create the perfect filling for a sandwich.
Trippa alla Romana
Tripe, slow-cooked in tomatoes and Pecorino Romano. While its flavor might take a little getting used to, this dish has been a cherished part of Roman cuisine for generations, a testament to the city's culinary history.
Pizza al taglio
Translating to "pizza by the slice" pizza al taglio is a style of pizza that is typically rectangular or square in shape. Airy and crisp dough topped with local ingredients, this is one of the most loved street food items in the city.
Maritozzi
Maritozzi — sweet, leaved buns filled with slightly sweetened whipped cream — is a must-try breakfast dish best enjoyed with coffee. “Maritozzo” means "almost-husband", alluding to the tradition of grooms-to-be offering these delectable buns to their fiancées.
Carciofi alla Giudia
The Jewish-style artichoke dish is prepared by flattening the vegetable and deep-frying it in olive oil twice. Seasoned with just salt and pepper, the crispy exterior and meltingly tender middle make this dish a timeless Roman specialty.

We had a wonderful pizza and tiramisu cooking class with our teacher Mimi!
The class was very fun, well organized, and suitable for adults and kids. Mimi explained everything clearly, showed us all the steps, and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable.
We learned how to make real Italian pizza from scratch and the tiramisu was absolutely delicious. The best part was eating everything we made at the end!
Mimi was very friendly, patient, and funny, which made the whole experience even better. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome and we would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Rome.
Thank you, Mimi, for a great experience!
