About this tour
Explore Trastevere's backstreet food culture with a local guide, then roll up your sleeves for a hands-on pasta workshop where you'll craft dough and sauce from scratch. You'll taste your way through the neighbourhood's best bites, cook a proper meal, and finish with gelato—three hours that capture how Romans actually eat.
Highlights
- Street-level food stops through Trastevere's cobbled lanes
- Make fresh pasta dough and sauce with proper technique
- Eat what you've cooked straightaway
- Gelato to close the evening
- Small-group setting with English-speaking guide
What to expect
Your guide will lead you through Trastevere's quieter alleys, stopping at family-run spots to taste local specialities and chat with the people who run them. Then you'll move to the cooking space, where you'll get your hands into the dough—learning the feel of proper gluten development rather than following a recipe by rote. You'll prepare a sauce while your pasta rests, then sit down to eat your handiwork with wine. Gelato rounds things off on a sweet note.
Good to know
Three hours total, including walk and cook time. Wear clothes you don't mind dusting with flour. Pushchairs welcome on the walking portions; ask your guide about the studio's layout if you're bringing one. Public transport runs nearby if you need it.
