First tastings along the route

Beyond the market square, you continue through nearby streets to your first dedicated food stops in local establishments. Each tasting focuses on a different pillar of Roman gastronomy.

Features

• One stop is dedicated to a tasting of Roman porchetta, where you taste slices of Roman-style roasted pork and hear how it features in everyday street food and traditional celebrations.

• Another tasting centers on Roman pizza, which you sample while learning how baking techniques and toppings reflect local preferences and neighborhood habits.

• These two tastings are part of the four included stops at selected local businesses, so there is no extra payment required for the porchetta and pizza portions provided.

Ponte Sisto

From the historic center around Campo de' Fiori, you walk toward the river and cross Ponte Sisto to reach the other side of the Tiber. This segment shifts the focus from market streets to views over the river on the way to Trastevere.

Features

Trastevere

Once over Ponte Sisto, you enter Trastevere, a district known for its dense network of eateries and evening life. Here the final tastings bring the narrative from ancient markets to current-day dining culture.

Features

• An aperitif stop introduces you to Italian pre-dinner customs; you enjoy an aperitif accompanied by small gastronomic bites while the guide explains how this ritual fits into daily Roman life.
