About this tour
A three-hour guided food walk through Trastevere tracking Roman breakfast traditions from dawn pastries to midday plates. Start with espresso and cornetto at a neighbourhood bar, then move through the district's cobbled streets to a family-run biscuit workshop and established trattoria. You'll taste both sweet and savoury maritozzi, sample granita, sip wine, and finish with tiramisù. A local guide shares how Romans actually eat these meals, not as museum pieces but as daily habit.

What to expect
Expect steady walking on uneven Trastevere pavements with frequent stops at working food businesses rather than tourist venues. You'll stand at a bar counter with locals, watch bakers work morning dough, sit down at a table for savoury and sweet courses, and drink wine as Romans do—during eating, not before. The guide explains why each food exists and when Romans eat it, which breaks most visitor assumptions. Pacing is relaxed; this isn't rushed sampling but conversation-paced eating.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes; cobblestones are old and uneven. Not suitable for those with spinal problems or serious heart conditions. Buggies work on main streets but narrow alleys demand carrying infants. Public transport stops nearby. Tips aren't included.
