Overview

Try out authentic delicacies as you immerse yourself in the local culture of Rome on a small-group walking tour. Taste unmissable Roman foods such as pizza from a family-run establishment, Supplì (fried mozzarella rice balls) and typical seasonal dishes from Rome’s Jewish Quarter. Meet in Piazza del Biscione before whetting your appetite at a local charcuterie at your first stop. Sample some typical Italian cured meats and some local wine there before heading off to try Rome's well-known tasty street food, Supplì. Your guide will fill you in on these rice delicacies' 19th-century beginnings and how they earned their name. Next, taste some classic Roman pizza and Menabrea beer at family-run Roscioli, an establishment run by the founder’s grandchildren. After this you’ll be heading to the Roman Ghetto, Rome’s old Jewish Quarter. Here, sample traditional zucchini flower fritters or carciofi alla giudìa (deep-fried artichokes), depending on what is in season at the time. Finish up the tour with a delicious artisanal gelato at Punto Gelato near Largo di Torre Argentina, the site of four ancient Roman Temples and Pompey’s Theater. Savor the unique northern Italian flavors at a gelateria that featured in Gambero Rosso’s Top 10 list of the best gelato in Rome.  Choose from either a private experience just for your group, or a small-group experience with no more than 14 people.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Chiara and exploring the Campo de’ Fiori area. We sampled salamis, pizza, suppli (rice balls) and gelato. The neighborhood is beautiful. Chaira helped us with restaurant recommendations, too.

I would recommend doing this tour early when visiting Rome so that you can go back to the participating restaurants and eat an entire meal! Everything we tasted was delicious. Our guide, Flame, was an exceptional! Not only did we get to taste some amazing food. She provided so much information about the background of the food as well as the location in which we were eating. You could tell she really loves her job and sharing her passion—good food, fellowship and fun!
Delicious evening!

Tasty variety of foods. Our guide Chiara was very knowledgeable and kind. She gave us great lessons pertaining to the food and areas around us. It was a wonderful introduction to Rome for our family. We walked back to our hotel full and happy. Highly recommend!
