  • Antico Quartiere Ebraico
    Remember, Italians eat according to what's in season, and this is a great chance to understand the culinary culture. For example, artichokes, in season from November to April, make for a succulent when deep-fried 'alla giudia'.
  • Fontana Delle Tartarughe
    Sample real Italian dried ham, or 'prosciutto', and famous 'pecorino' cheese made from sheep's milk on a 'tagliere' with red or white wine to make your palate sing to the seasons.
  • Campo De' Fiori
    Delight the senses sampling the best “supplì” (fried rice croquettes filled with mozzarella) in town. You'll also try pizza 'rossa' and 'margherita' with some Italian craft beer for a match made in heaven.
  • Fontana del Monte di Pieta
    Indulge in a jewel of a pastry shop's time-honored recipes for delicious Sicilian treats. Ingredients include ricotta that arrives directly from Sicily. You'll sample the “cannolo siciliano” (rolls of fried Italian pastry dough filled with a creamy ricotta filling).
  • The grand finale of this evening food tour takes place in Trastevere. As you cross the Tiber on the Ponte Sisto you'll be able to take in incredible views of St. Peter's and the city as you contemplate the myriad flavors you've experienced so far. (pass by)
  • Piazza Trilussa
    Enjoy a sit-down pasta dinner at an authentic Roman 'enoteca'. You’ll get the opportunity to savor the city’s most beloved pasta dishes like “Amatriciana” (guanciale and tomatoes), and “Cacio e Pepe” (Pecorino cheese and black pepper) accompanied by delicious local wine.
  • Finish your foodie adventure by indulging in a true Italian sweet treat – gelato! Whether you are fruit fan or a decadent chocolate lover, we’re sure you’ll agree that our favorite ‘gelateria’ serves up the best scoops in town. (pass by)
