Spend an evening exploring Rome’s picturesque Trastevere neighborhood on a food tour.
Trastevere has long been a point of reference in Rome for where to spend a fun evening out. But if you’re overwhelmed by the sheer number of options for where to eat and drink, you’re not alone. Let us show you five of the spots Romans love best on this unforgettable Trastevere food tour—with plenty of fantastic food and wine along the way!
We’ll start our evening at a relaxed neighborhood shop with a glass of prosecco in hand. Pair the bubbly with some of our favorite antipasto bites and begin your crash course in Italian aperitivo.
Learn how to sip, snack, and even pair wine in true Italian style.
Next, we'll move on to one of Rome's most beloved aperitivo snacks: supplì. We'll stop to try these delicious fried rice balls at a humble restaurant that's been making the best in the neighborhood for over 40 years.
Then it’s time to discover one of Trastevere’s liveliest and most storied bars. This spot is constantly packed with Romans from all walks of life, who stop by for a quick morning coffee, a refreshing spritz in the evening (as we’ll do now!), and everything in between.
Time for more wine? We thought so, too! At our next stop, you’ll try two different kinds paired with a selection of homemade bruschetta. You'll also learn some tips on how to pair wine with food in Italy—and they'll come in handy back home, too.
Enjoy a dinner of classic Roman pasta and wine.
Your evening continues with a delicious pasta dinner at one of Trastevere’s most historic restaurants, complete with plenty more wine to wash it all down. Before going our separate ways, we'll wrap up our Trastevere food tour at a gelateria for a cup or cone of artisanal Italian gelato.
When all is said, done, and eaten, you’ll have the confidence and knowledge to navigate an Italian wine list and eat among the locals at any of Rome’s authentic restaurants.
