Detailed Itinerary

1

Pizza al Taglio (first tasting)

Kick off your Roman food walk the way locals do: with a hot slice of pizza al taglio. Your guide will help you spot the best trays, understand the classic toppings, and learn the simple “how to order” etiquette that makes all the difference.

This is a relaxed start—perfect for getting into the rhythm of the neighbourhood and the tour.

2

Supplì (Roman street-food icon)

Next, taste supplì: Rome’s famous fried rice croquette with a melted mozzarella centre. Crispy outside, soft inside—this is one of the city’s most loved quick bites.

Your guide will share the story behind this classic snack and what makes a good supplì (yes, Romans have strong opinions).

 

3

Prosecco Stop (a quick aperitivo)

Pause for a celebratory glass of prosecco—light, refreshing, and very Roman when enjoyed standing at a bar or tucked into a small spot with locals.

It’s a great moment to soak up the atmosphere and keep the pace easy and sociable.

4

Salumi & Cheese Platter (local flavours)

Enjoy a tasting of Italian cured meats and cheeses, chosen for seasonality and regional character. This stop is about flavour and tradition: what to pair, what to look for, and how Italians build simple food that tastes extraordinary.

If you’d like, your guide can tailor the selection around preferences and dietary needs.

5

Gelato (sweet stop)

No food walk in Rome is complete without gelato. You’ll try a proper artisanal gelato and learn how to recognise the real thing (and how to avoid the tourist traps).

A perfect finish if you’re choosing the “tastings only” version of the tour.

 

6

Caffè (espresso like a Roman)

Wrap up with a classic Italian caffè. Your guide will show you the local way—quick, simple, and delicious—plus a few tips on ordering (and what not to ask for if you want to sound like a local!).

7

Optional upgrade: Sit-down lunch (starter + pasta + drink + caffè)

If you choose the upgraded version, you’ll enjoy a relaxed restaurant lunch: a starter, a pasta course, and a drink (prosecco or wine), followed by caffè.
