Experience Rome beyond the postcard landmarks and discover the neighborhood where ancient streets, local traditions, and authentic flavors still shape everyday life.
On this all-inclusive Rome Street Food Walk, you'll explore Monti, the city's oldest neighborhood, where artisan bakeries, family-run eateries, lively piazzas, and centuries of history come together just minutes from the Colosseum.
Designed for travelers who want an authentic taste of Rome without spending half a day on a tour, this relaxed 2-hour experience combines classic Roman street food, fascinating local stories, and one of the city's most charming districts.
Your journey begins in the beautiful Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, where Romans have gathered for generations. Here you'll enjoy one of the city's most iconic street foods: a freshly made supplì, crispy on the outside with its famous melted mozzarella center.
From there, you'll wander through Monti's picturesque lanes before tasting two different styles of traditional Roman pizza, discovering why Roman pizza has developed its own unique identity and texture.
As you continue through the neighborhood, you'll pass the historic Church of Santa Maria dei Monti and climb the legendary Salita dei Borgia, where stories of Lucrezia Borgia and one of Renaissance Rome's greatest mysteries still capture the imagination.
The walk continues through Piazza della Suburra before stopping at a traditional bakery for a seasonal Roman biscuit or homemade crostata, prepared using recipes that have been handed down for generations.
Along the way, you'll enjoy one of the finest viewpoints over the magnificent Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, one of Rome's four major papal basilicas and a masterpiece of early Christian architecture.
No Roman culinary experience would be complete without sitting down for a traditional pasta dish, paired with a carefully selected glass of Lazio wine, introducing you to a region often overshadowed by its famous neighbors but deeply appreciated by locals.
To finish, you'll enjoy authentic Italian gelato from a carefully selected artisan producer while admiring one of Rome's most memorable views overlooking the Colosseum.
This experience focuses on authentic local businesses, traditional Roman recipes, and the stories that make Monti one of Rome's most fascinating neighborhoods.
