About this tour
A three-hour flavour crawl through one of Rome's historic neighbourhoods, hitting 15+ stops from breakfast through lunch. You'll start with cornetto and cappuccino at a neighbourhood café, work through a traditional market sampling cured meats and cheese, grab street food at a generations-old spot, then sit down to pasta and wine whilst learning about Roman foodways. A kitchen visit shows how classics come together before you finish with dessert and coffee like a local would.

- Market tastings: parmesan, prosciutto, mozzarella
- Street food from a multi-generational family business
- Seated pasta lunch with Roman wine

What to expect
You're walking a tight loop through an old neighbourhood, stopping frequently. Each stop is brief—long enough to eat and chat, not long enough to sit around. The market visit involves standing and pointing at things; the kitchen is a proper working space, not a tourist kitchen. The seated lunch is your main sit-down moment, where you'll eat proper pasta and drink wine with other guests. Expect narrow streets, narrow doorways, and Romans going about their day around you. The pace is deliberate but not rushed.
