Full description
Note: If you choose the 6:15 tour time when booking, you'll enjoy a shorter experience at a lower price, with a spritz, suppli, dinner, and gelato included.
You’ll start your Trastevere food tour by saying “*cin cin*!” to your first glass of wine with many more to come throughout the evening. At your first stop, you’ll sip a glass of __sparkling wine__ paired with __prosciutto and cheese__ at a local enoteca.
### The Supplì Stop Locals Swear By
Then, you’re off to try a classic Roman street food, __*supplì*__, at a humble restaurant that's been making these delicious fried rice balls the best since they opened in 1979.
### Aperitivo at a Roman Icon
At your next stop, you’ll learn that the Italian drinking scene is not just about wine. Here, you’ll have a __spritz__ in Trastevere's most iconic bar—it’s essentially considered a monument among generations of locals!
### The Perfect Pair: Wine & Bruschetta
Next up on your Trastevere food tour, you’ll weave your way through the charming backstreets of the neighborhood to visit a fantastic __enoteca__ where everything has been hand-picked by the owner with love and care. Taste two different wines from two unique regions in Italy to pair with three different __*bruschette*__, and learn the importance of pairing the right wine with your food.
### Pasta & More Wine, Roman Style
Now, it's the moment you’ve all been waiting for—pasta! Enjoy __classic Roman pasta__ at a renowned __family-run restaurant__. You’ll either dine at Checco er Carettiere, run by Stefania and her family for three generations, or Ferrara, owned by two sisters and housed in a 13th century convent.
When we say these restaurants are popular, we mean it! But luckily, you’ll have a table reserved for your group, and your guide will take care of ordering the must-try dishes. If you thought it couldn’t get better, we’ll be sipping two types of hearty Italian wine perfectly paired with your pasta.
### Gelato to End on a Sweet Note
Last but not least, you’ll finish up your Trastevere food tour on a sweet note with a cup or cone of artisan gelato.

Reviews
If you’re reading this, book it now! You’ll be one of the first on the boat and get the best spot before anyone else. Daniela (aka “Daniel”) treated us exceptionally well from start to finish. Her knowledge of the falls and the stories behind them was the perfect balance of informative and entertaining. She keeps you laughing throughout the tour and enjoys the experience right alongside you as if it were her first time seeing it. 10/10 — I would recommend this tour to anyone. As an added bonus, our group had only four people, which made the experience absolutely incredible and much more personal. Thanks again, Daniel! 😉
The tour was great and having priority on the boat was excellent
