About this tour
A four-hour guided exploration of Rome's most flavourful quarters—Campo de' Fiori, the Jewish Ghetto, and Trastevere—led by an art historian who steers you toward neighbourhood gems rather than tourist traps.

- Roman pasta classics: carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana
- Ricotta and sour cherry tart, a Ghetto speciality
- Wine tasting curated by your guide
- Campo de' Fiori market and Trastevere backstreets
What to expect
Your guide navigates three distinct Rome neighbourhoods on foot, stopping frequently to taste and chat with vendors and kitchen staff. Expect narrow lanes, cobblestones, and modest eateries where locals eat. You'll handle food with your hands—suppli, pizza slices, fried vegetables—and stand at counters or sit at tight tables. Wine pours are modest and paired thoughtfully. The pace is leisurely but involves genuine walking; bring comfortable shoes. Portions accumulate across stops rather than sitting down for one meal.
