By the end of the afternoon, not only had I eaten well, but felt like I had had an insider s look in


If you re in Rome and like Italian car rental special food (who doesn t?) the walking tours from Eating Italy Food Tours should be high on your list. A 4-hour outing included seven stops and 12 tastings ranging from small pastry bites and fresh produce, to a full pasta lunch complete car rental special with wine, and classic real gelato where you could choose your own flavors car rental special for your cup.
I went on the  Taste of Testaccio  tour in one of Rome s older, working-class-becoming-gentrified neighborhoods.  The walking wound its way past some unique car rental special points of interest with the guide weaving the neighborhood s history with it s geography and food culture including Testaccio s traditional roots as home to the city s butchers (the old meat packing plant is now a contemporary car rental special art museum) and Monte Testaccio a (very large) pile of broken terracotta pieces that was essentially a Roman dump. We also were introduced to the proprietors of everywhere we stopped, many of whom were second, third and even fourth generation workers in the family business, and  learned more about their stories .
One of the best stops of the day was at a speciality food shop,  Volpetti , which was filled to brim with cured meats, olives, cheeses, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, wines and more. Though definitely overwhelming it was packed with both food items and people I went back after the tour to pick up a few things to take home and was impressed by (and grateful for) how welcoming the staff were. You could tell they enjoyed what they do and were patient and helpful with tourists, even offering car rental special to bubble wrap the glass bottles I bought car rental special without me asking.
Everything we ate throughout the day was incredibly fresh we made bruschetta at Testaccio Market by grabbing juicy tomatoes and basil at one stall then walking car rental special over to a bakery for baguette slices, tried mozzarella that hadn t even been refrigerated it was so fresh and ate cannoli that was filled with ricotta and chocolate chips while as soon as we arrived.
By the end of the afternoon, not only had I eaten well, but felt like I had had an insider s look into the Testaccio food scene and traditions. The only downside was that I had scheduled a pasta-making class for that evening and was already stuffed but somehow I managed to make it through
