What to expect
The evening starts with a Roman aperitif and wine selection. You'll move through several iconic Roman plates—the kind locals order—whilst learning what makes each dish matter culturally and historically. Dinner is a proper sit-down affair, not rushed or performative. The host talks you through the food and the neighbourhood's character as you eat. Finish with a traditional Italian sweet to close it properly. Expect conversation, not just consumption.
