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.

A very fun romp through a lively part of Rome. Our guide John Paul was great - knowledgeable and personable. Nice to get recommendations of where to go in Trastevere…and to learn about Roman food culture.

I signed up for this tour having been in Rome for only 24 hrs. I wanted to be better prepared to order food and wine. Fernanda was immediately warm and made learning about the cuisine and vino extremely approachable. I could have listened to her for several more hours! She curated a great list of restaurants and bars and shared a ton of recommendations! Truly an experience for everyone and extremely grateful for the opportunity!

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening in Trastevere, our guide was excellent and the food and drinks were all excellent. The tour gave us more of an understanding and appreciation of Rome, and was a highlight of our time spent there.

I’m so glad we did this tour. I was hesitant at first since we had never done a food tour before and we were already eating our way through the city, but I’m glad we didn’t skip it. Our guide, Fernanda, was fantastic. She explained so much of the culture around food and social cues. Plus, Fernanda had selected culturally significant places that really cater to the local community. It was a nice surprise that our guide is also studying to be a sommelier! This was a great experience all around, and I’d highly recommend.
