Three of Rome's oldest neighborhoods, connected by food instead of a map. You'll start in Campo de' Fiori, a market square that's fed Romans since the Renaissance, then wander into the Jewish Ghetto for crisp fried artichoke and other classics rooted in recipes older than the restaurants making them. From there, cross the river by way of Tiber Island, a spot with its own strange history, before settling into a centuries-old trattoria for a plate of cacio e pepe done right. The walk ends in Trastevere on a sweet note.
Four hours, six handpicked tastings, and a small group led by a guide who treats the history as seriously as the food, and who's always glad to slow down for questions along the way.
