Testaccio fed Rome's slaughterhouse workers for a century and the food never forgot it: this walk moves from trapizzino to cacio e pepe to a frank, delicious lesson in the quinto quarto offal tradition, with a guide who grew up three streets away. Groups cap at eight and the stall owners greet the guide by name. Come hungry and come open-minded — if organ meat is a hard no for you, say so at booking and they adjust, but you will miss the point a little.
