About this tour
A three-hour food walk through Trastevere that moves beyond the postcard version of Roman eating. You'll sit down for proper pasta with local wine, grab pizza the way Romans actually order it, detour through street food stalls for supplì and fried courgette flowers, then finish with genuine gelato. Your guide steers you away from the obvious tourist spots and into neighbourhood joints where locals queue.
Highlights
- Sit-down pasta course with Roman sauce and wine pairing
- Pizza tasting with authentic Roman topping combinations
- Street food: supplì, Jewish-style artichokes, fried courgette flowers
- Real gelato from a proper gelateria
- Local foodie guide who knows the backstreets
What to expect
You'll start seated in a traditional Roman restaurant for your first proper course—pasta dressed how they actually eat it here, matched with decent wine. Then it's onto the street. Your guide takes you through Trastevere's tight cobbled lanes, stopping for pizza slices and working through the Roman street food repertoire: crispy rice balls, deep-fried artichokes, golden courgette flowers. The pace is unhurried; you're tasting, not rushing. The walk finishes with gelato that tastes nothing like the syrupy frozen stuff at the tourist stands. Expect narrow pavements, some standing around while you eat, and genuine local crowds.
