Hi, I'm Francesca.
I am a professional caterer with an Italian/British background, and have been a food guide since 2007, doing also cooking classes for foreigners. I am enthusiastic about my hometown and everything to do with food, and I love meeting new people from all over the world. My husband is an executive chef, so food is REALLY big for us! Stroll through the most beautiful parts of Rome while sampling the best typical local food and hearing about the history of it and the architecture around you, guided by a professional local chef and food enthusiast with years of experience in food tours. You will not be taken to the 'tourist' hangouts for food, but to places I have discovered over years of seeking out the best food experiences for myself, which I am happy to share with newcomers. The 10 tastngs will titillate your tastebuds and give you an unforgettable experience of the Eternal City.
