5.00This was a fantastic way to introduce Roman cuisine to my kids. I was all in eating organ meats and I had two semi curious kids who loved this tour the most. DO NOT EAT ANYTHING BEFORE. I thought I was full after pasta but somehow had room for that transcendent bignet. Also the Dorrado cheese stall was uniquely amazing and lovely. Thank you Julia for such a great time! Come visit Texas and we’ll take you out for BBQ.

5.00Sabina was delightful! She was very friendly, knowledgeable, shared her passion of food and culture. We so enjoyed our time with her. We were with one other couple, and had the best time. The food samplings were an experience. We loved the market. The lunch was an amazing experience. We ended the tour with a sweet and espresso. I highly recommend booking with Streaty and requesting Sabina. She is a delight!
Street Food Tour with Dario in Palermo

5.00We were traveling with Dario and could not have asked for a better guide. With a lot of patience and passion, he not only introduced us to the culinary specialties, but also gave us exciting insights into Palermo and all of Sicily. You immediately feel how much he loves his island and his country – and that’s what makes the tour so special and authentic. We would book a tour with Dario again at any time. Highly recommended

A Perfect Night in Testaccio

5.00This private nighttime food tour was an absolute five-star experience. Our guide, Giulia, along with Greta who was in training, were both wonderful—warm, knowledgeable, and made the evening feel so personal. Every food stop was incredibly authentic, and you could feel how proud the staff and owners were to share their specialties with us. There was so much food, and every bite was delicious. We especially loved exploring Testaccio, a lively neighborhood with a rich history, and getting a true glimpse into local Roman life.
A great food tour of places we would have overlooked.

5.00The food was awesome! The spleen sandwich was interesting. So unusual ! And the chef won a tv show with best street food! Our group was delightful! Simone is who brought everything together and explained the food, culture, history, and her grandmother’s cooking? She truly was the star of the afternoon!!! Highly recommend! If you get Simone… lucky you!!!
