Nestled in the heart of Rome's most charming and authentic district, Trastevere, Catina Fabulous offers a truly unique and immersive food and wine tasting experience set in an underground cellar beneath an 18th-century building. This atmospheric space, once a 1st-century AD cistern, has been meticulously restored and elegantly furnished with antique pieces to create an unforgettable setting steeped in over 2000 years of history. Upon arrival, guests are warmly welcomed by knowledgeable staff who share the fascinating stories behind Italy’s most iconic culinary traditions. The tasting features an exquisite menu curated by Fabulous Winery, showcasing products endorsed by the Slow Food presidium and sourced from small artisanal producers who uphold the values of tradition, sustainability, and biodiversity. Over the course of the tasting, you’ll enjoy 1 prosecco and 4 top-tier Italian wines handpicked by a sommelier, accompanied by a sumptuous spread that includes a variety of fine cured meats from pork and beef, raw ham, mortadella, a selection of fresh and aged cheeses, buffalo mozzarella, ricotta, and four kinds of extra virgin olive oil including the renowned Majatica. Complementing these are vegetables preserved in oil or vinegar, Roman pizza, three varieties of artisanal bread, jams, honey, traditional Italian ice cream, and an authentic espresso coffee—creating a rich and memorable gastronomic journey perfect for an indulgent lunch or dinner and a special highlight of your Roman holiday.

We had a beautiful time sampling wines from all over Italy, combined with an assortment of incredible cheeses and meats delicately prepared and served! Sommelier was insightful and very kind! Would highly recommend to anyone!
We had a fantastic time on this wine pairing experience! It was just our party, and Ginevra did a great job explaining everything in both English and Italian. We booked the Fabullus tasting, which was described as a light lunch and was just the right amount of food. The cellar is centuries old, although you’d never guess that from the modern decor. We tasted wines, cheeses, meat, and more from around Italy. We bought bottles of two of the wines we tasted to go with dinner that night. Grazie mille, Ginevra!!
Book last minute and we were the only 2 there and it was superb. Ginevra was an excellent host and really took time to explain the wines and the food snacks. If you enjoy wine, then you must visit this wine cellar in Rome.
We had a fantastic wine tasting. The wine was great and the food amazing. Our very nice and enthusiastic host, Lorenzo, did a wonderful job by explaining everything in our glasses and on our plates. Really a nice location and a wonderful experience. Thank you! We'll be back...
