Rome is a food lover’s paradise, but to truly appreciate its culinary culture, you need to eat like a local. Start with a food tour in the Testaccio district, where the city’s oldest market serves up everything from supplì (fried rice balls) to freshly made pasta alla carbonara. Move on to Campo de’ Fiori, where vibrant stalls offer seasonal fruits, cheeses, and meats for you to sample.
For wine enthusiasts, a guided wine tasting in the Trastevere area is a must. Here, you can sip on local varieties like Frascati and learn about Italy’s rich winemaking traditions. Finish your tour with a classic gelato from one of the city’s famous gelaterias, like Gelateria del Teatro.
