La Nina Culinary Experience in collaboration with MassimEATalian, invites you to discover the “Taste Rome Like a Local” food tours.
During our gastronomic experience, you will explore Rome: quality shops, restaurants and hidden gems, where eating delicious Italian food and learning local culinary traditions, through stories behind each tasting.
You will take home a deeper appreciation of Italian food and a new culinary knowledge.
MassimEATalian is a boutique made of gastronomic experiences founded by Massimiliano Costa Cipullo, a Rome native whose artistic background in music, and acting brings a unique storytelling flair to every tour.
With nearly two decades in tourism/food-related business, and 11 years dedicated specifically to food tours as both planner and guide, Massimiliano has honed his craft working with companies across Italy and internationally.
Every itinerary is carefully researched and customised, featuring:
- Quality shops
- Restaurants
- A few hidden gems
In a deliberate departure from industry norms, Massimiliano caps each tour at just 8 guests, rejecting the overcrowded groups that prioritise profit over experience.
This means you’ll receive genuine attention and appropriate food descriptions, together with some general and meaningful artistic-historical informations of the areas you’ll walk through.
With three time slots currently available, Massimiliano personally leads every tour, bringing his Italian cultural heritage, his family’s vibrant culinary tradition and his deep professional experience to every meeting.
For Massimiliano, each tour is a human experience: he defines the tour as a “Bubble in Time” where guests and guide share an agreeable atmosphere in order to escape world troubles and daily issues, for a few hours, through food tasting and by sharing personal feelings and different knowledges, trying to form, together, new, shining, emotional memories, to carry back into their lives.
