Katie Parla Food Tour
American-born Yale graduate Katie Parla has called Rome home for more than a dozen years, earning a degree in Italian gastronomic culture, plus sommelier and archeological certifications. Today, she’s one of the city’s top English-language food writers, with a go-to blog, app, and recently released cookbook, Tasting Rome. Her latest service sees her planning your self-led eating and drinking itineraries, but the best way to experience her expertise is on one of her privately guided tasting tours.
