Campo de' Fiori is where Rome has bought its fresh produce for hundreds of years. The market stalls are still set up there every morning, with locals who have been running them for generations. This makes it the perfect starting point for a tour of the eternal city.
From there, this small group walking food tour moves through four neighbourhoods over four hours, eating as it goes. A norcineria that has been on this corner since 1890. A baroque square where you eat a ricotta and sour cherry pie from a Jewish bakery with a glass of prosecco and a tortoise fountain older than the building you're standing in front of. A kosher-style tavern in the heart of the Ghetto, where the fried cod has been on the menu longer than anyone can remember. Then through Roman ruins from 200 BC, across the oldest bridge in the city, over the Tiber Island, and into Trastevere.
There, a 2,000-year-old wine cellar waits underground. You eat amatriciana at a table where the stone walls have absorbed two thousand years of dinners, with a glass of wine that matches. Fatamorgana closes everything out with gelato made from ingredients no ordinary gelateria would think to use.
Seven stops. One loop through the city that invented the very idea of a long lunch.
