Flavours of Rome: Pantheon to Piazza Navona

Time to taste Rome the way locals do. From a 16th-century salumeria near the Pantheon to crispy supplì and rich tiramisù, this walking food tour blends iconic landmarks with authentic Roman flavours!

Begin beside the majestic Pantheon, where your journey into Roman cuisine starts with a brief introduction to one of the city’s most astonishing ancient monuments. From here, we step into a historic salumeria that has been serving locals for centuries. Enjoy a generous selection of cured meats, aged cheeses, and fresh Roman bread — paired with house wine — as we discuss how food traditions survived from imperial Rome to today. We then stroll through the charming streets of the historic center, passing through the lively Piazza Navona. Here, amid fountains and Baroque grandeur, you’ll hear how public spaces shaped Roman daily life — including how and where people have eaten for centuries. Next comes pizza — Roman style. At a beloved local spot, sample thin, crispy slices or traditional stuffed pizza “al taglio,” the kind Romans grab for a quick bite. We’ll talk about why Roman pizza is so different from its Neapolitan cousin — and why locals have strong opinions about it. Just around the corner, we stop for one of Rome’s most iconic street foods: supplì. These golden, crispy rice balls — filled with tomato, mozzarella, or seasonal ingredients — are a staple of everyday Roman life. You’ll learn why this humble snack has such a devoted following. Finally, we finish on a sweet note with an indulgent tasting of tiramisù in a restaurant which offers 100 different flavours of this famous Italian dessert — a playful finale to a deeply traditional journey. From ancient monuments to family-run eateries, this tour blends history, culture, and unforgettable flavours — all within a short, walkable stretch of Rome’s most atmospheric streets.
