Via Portico d'Ottavia
Start your Rome foodie adventure in the historic Jewish Ghetto. This ancient neighborhood has protected Roman gastronomic traditions for thousands of years. Meet your guide and get to know the other hungry tour-goers before you set off.
Ghetto 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'.
20 minutesFontana 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.
20 minutesPiazza di 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.
20 minutesFontana 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).
15 minutesPonte Sisto
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.
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.
