ROME CLASSIC FOOD TASTING WITH WINE PAIRING

In the heart of Trastevere, Rome’s most vibrant and authentic neighborhood, lies a hidden treasure: Fabullus, an underground wine cellar steeped in history. Tucked beneath an 18th-century building, this evocative space was born from the meticulous restoration of a 1st-century AD Roman cistern, now transformed into an intimate and atmospheric tasting venue, elegantly adorned with antique furnishings that evoke a timeless charm.

By joining this exclusive food and wine tasting experience, you’ll embark on a journey through centuries of flavor and tradition. In a setting that breathes history from every stone, our welcoming team will guide you through an unforgettable tasting, sharing the origins and stories behind Italy’s most iconic culinary treasures.

Each product has been carefully selected from small-scale producers recognized by the Slow Food presidium*—guardians of authenticity, sustainability, and biodiversity. These artisans represent the soul of Italian gastronomy, preserving age-old techniques and using only the finest ingredients.

In this warm, evocative atmosphere, you’ll indulge in a curated tasting that reflects the very best of Italy’s culinary heritage. The experience includes a welcome glass of Prosecco, followed by four exceptional Italian wines handpicked by our sommelier to perfectly complement the flavors of the dishes.

Your tasting menu features an abundant selection of cured meats (from pork and beef), including prosciutto and pistachio mortadella, along with fresh and aged cheeses, creamy buffalo mozzarella and ricotta, a variety of marinated vegetables in oil or vinegar, four types of olives, and Roman-style pizza. You’ll also enjoy three types of traditional bread, taste the exquisite Majatica extra virgin olive oil, and complete the experience with jams, honey, artisanal gelato or dessert.

Whether you are a passionate foodie or simply looking to immerse yourself in the flavors and history of Italy, this experience promises to be a sensory journey like no other—a perfect blend of culture, taste, and atmosphere that will leave a lasting impression.
