Trastevere Food Walk with a Sit-Down Dinner and Four Stops

An evening walk through Trastevere with four eating stops, the third of which is a full dinner at a table rather than another tasting on your feet. That structure is the difference. Most food tours in Rome are a run of standing snacks; this one builds to a three-course meal in a family-run restaurant, with an antipasto, two classic Roman pastas, a meat course and local wine alongside, finishing with limoncello. Before that: a family deli that has been trading for over a century, where the tasting covers prosciutto, salame and cheese and the guide explains the actual differences, parmigiano against pecorino, prosciutto against salame, which most visitors order for a week without ever learning. Then a street food stop, where the plate is fried baccalà or supplì depending on the venue that evening, and the guide explains how those quick bites became Roman staples. Another glass of wine comes with it. Afterwards, organic gelato, and the guide shows you how to tell good gelato from the tourist kind by looking at it, which is a skill worth more than the scoop. Small group. Come hungry: the quantities are not decorative. Meet in Piazza Farnese, by the fountain on the right as you face the palace, ten minutes early.
