Itinerary
Duration: 30 minutes
Following a typical Roman’s daily routine, you’ll make your way to the local market. While there, you’ll meet a few of the passionate vendors—some of whom have had their stalls for 40 years. Try incredible local pizza, farm-fresh vegetables, and artisanal cheeses and cured meats. You’ll also enjoy a sandwich from a stall that locals can’t stop talking about—and revisiting time and time again.
Duration: 90 minutes
After the market, it's time for lunch. You’ll head to a family-run trattoria to try a pasta with true local roots paired with Italian red wine. As you eat, your guide will give you a crash course in Italian mealtimes.
Duration: 60 minutes
Between each foodie stop, your local guide will point out important landmarks, including an Ancient Roman archaeological site. This mountain of broken pottery is a testament to the neighborhood's commercial roots.
Duration: 15 minutes
