What you can expect
Enjoy a unique food and wine experience in the heart of Testaccio: taste 5 PDO cheeses from Lazio and 5 artisanal cured meats, paired with 2 glasses of wine, inside a thousand-year-old Roman cave. A sensory journey through authentic flavors, ancient history, and tales of small local producers in the neighborhood where real Romans eat, away from the tourist traps.
Step through the door and time stops. The walls of this authentic Roman archaeological cave whisper millennia-old stories as fragments of ancient amphorae emerge from the shadows.
