Katie Parla

New Jersey native Katie Parla, now a Roman resident, writes a popular English-language food blog and works with a small team guiding private three-hour walking tours for small groups of up to six people. These cover Trastevere, Testaccio, the centro storico, Prati, Trionfale, Esquilino and the Jewish Ghetto. Cooking classes and sessions covering Italian wines and craft beers are available, too.
