About Simone

My family has had a stall in Testaccio Market for three generations, so food is genuinely the district's whole story as far as I am concerned. On camera at the market I move between stalls I have known my whole life, and at Monte Testaccio I explain how a hill made entirely of broken ancient pottery ended up beneath the bars and clubs built into it today. I like showing how the neighbourhood's food history and its nightlife are really the same story told at different times of day.

How reviews work

Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
