Francesca Moretti

Francesca was born in Rome in 1975 and grew up in a Trastevere apartment above her grandmother's trattoria, where she learned to roll pasta before she could ride a bike. She trained at the Gambero Rosso culinary school, spent eight years cooking in Roman kitchens and later earned her sommelier certification through the Associazione Italiana Sommelier with a specialty in the often overlooked wines of Lazio. For the past twelve years, she's led food and wine tours through Rome. Her tours lean toward the places Romans actually eat and include honest opinions about which spots are worth your time and which ones are coasting on their reviews. She lives in Trastevere and when she is t leading tours she is writing on blog about her favorite subject: food and wine.
