TRASTEVERE GUIDED FOOD AND WINE TOUR

Enjoy the captivating sights of this lively neighborhood while sampling the flavors and specialties of authentic Roman cuisine, accompanied by an experienced local food guide.

The name Trastevere derives from the Latin Trans Tiberium, meaning “beyond the Tiber.” During ancient Roman times, Trastevere was regarded as one of the city’s most significant and well-loved neighborhoods, so much so that Julius Caesar chose to build one of his villas here. Today, the area is celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere from morning until late at night, with charming streets lined with traditional restaurants, cozy cafés, and inviting eateries.

This immersive culinary adventure begins at Trilussa Square, where you’ll meet your friendly and well-informed professional guide. Along the way, they’ll share fascinating historical insights while introducing you to their genuine passion for Roman food and culture.

Join us as we wander through some of the Eternal City’s most distinctive streets, exploring the lively neighborhoods of Trastevere and the Jewish Ghetto in search of Rome’s authentic character and flavors. Leave the guidebook behind and follow your guide through Vicolo del Cinque, Via del Moro, and Santa Maria in Trastevere, discovering how to dine like a true local.

As you explore the charming streets of Trastevere, you’ll admire some of the neighborhood’s most fascinating landmarks while sampling a selection of traditional Roman specialties. Tastings may include Supplì, a crispy fried rice ball filled with mozzarella, often compared to Sicilian arancini. However, the Roman version has its own distinctive character, featuring a different type of rice and a classic mozzarella filling, making it a wonderful choice for those who prefer a meat-free option.

Of course, no Italian food experience would be complete without enjoying a mouthwatering slice of authentic pizza! You’ll also have the opportunity to taste Carciofo alla Giudia, a beloved Roman-Jewish specialty featuring crispy fried artichokes prepared in a traditional style.

To complement your culinary discoveries, each tasting is paired with a delightful glass of wine. Finally, satisfy your sweet tooth with a refreshing scoop of authentic Italian gelato, bringing this flavorful journey to a delicious conclusion.

Experience the Eternal City through its food, traditions, and stories, and discover the distinctive Roman flavors and cultural heritage woven into the history of this remarkable city.
