Several Rome golf cart tours include food: some add a gelato or espresso stop to a 3-hour sightseeing route, while others finish with a tasting of classic Roman pastas in a trattoria. Expect about $99–130 per person on a shared tour and more for private food tours.
Three kinds of food tour
- Gelato stop: a classic highlights tour with a break at an artisan gelateria. The easiest option for families.
- Coffee and gelato: private tours that include an espresso and a gelato along the way.
- Pasta tasting: sightseeing that ends in a trattoria with three Roman classics. Think cacio e pepe, carbonara and amatriciana.
Where the food stops happen
Trastevere is the most popular area: narrow cobbled streets, ivy-covered houses and trattorias with tables outside. Testaccio, the old working-class district by the former slaughterhouse, is where Romans go for traditional cooking and has a covered market. Some tours also stop in the Jewish Ghetto, known for fried artichokes.
Good to know
- Tell the operator about allergies or a vegetarian diet when you book. Roman pasta is easy to adapt, but they need to know.
- Evening food tours combine well with Rome lit up. See our night tour guide.
- Drinks other than water are usually extra unless the listing says otherwise.
