- Sample Itinerary
- A true gourmet marathon awaits you: more than 10 Roman and Italian specialties punctuate your route (indicative list, depending on our partners’ opening hours and the availability of the day’s products):
- – Artichokes “alla giudia” — literally “Jewish-style”: the emblematic recipe of Rome’s Jewish Ghetto, a whole artichoke fried in olive oil until crispy.
- – Slices of pizza al taglio, in a renowned forno (the traditional Italian wood-fired oven, which also gives its name to small neighborhood bakeries).
- – Assortment of Roman and Italian cheeses, in a small neighborhood shop.
- – Supplì, the traditional fried rice ball with tomato and a molten mozzarella heart; the Roman ancestor of the Sicilian arancino.
- – Typical cured meats — hams, salamis, dried meats — served with wine and water.
- – Dessert of your choice: tiramisù (the great mascarpone-coffee classic), ice cream, or maritozzo (the traditional Roman brioche, split and generously filled with whipped cream).
- – Coffee break “al banco” — literally “at the counter”: the Italian way of drinking coffee, standing up, in a few sips — at the bar featured in the New York Times, where the Nespresso concept is said to have been invented!
