Offered in: English and 1 more

Step away from the usual tourist paths and explore one of Italy’s largest and most vibrant markets: the Mercato Trionfale. With over 270 stalls, this local gem is brimming with colors, smells, and family stories passed down through generations.

Your guide will immerse you in Roman culture, introducing you to iconic vendors and revealing the culinary secrets behind every bite.

We begin with a selection of cured meats, cheeses, and the renowned porchetta. We will then taste natural wines from small, ethical Italian producers. We’ll continue with seasonal delights: from the freshest fish from the Tyrrhenian Sea to prepared dishes using local, innovative ingredients, including plant-based "cheeses" and deli cuts. You'll witness the art of handmade pasta in a show cooking demonstration and, to conclude, savor classic Roman street food: delicious arrosticini.

Each stop is a unique story, with products varying according to seasonality and availability.
