What to expect
The Enoteca: Where the Evening Begins
The tour meets in Piazza San Cosimato, a lively neighborhood square where locals gather at the end of the day. The first stop is a seated enoteca where you’ll try sparkling wine, olives, lupini beans, and antipasto nibbles; a classic Roman aperitivo. Along the way, your guide will explain what aperitivo actually means in Rome, and why the hour before dinner is treated as something close to sacred.
The supplì stop: the snack Romans argue about
Every Roman has a favorite supplì spot. This one is widely considered the best in Trastevere, serving its recipe for over 40 years. You’ll try this classic fried rice ball fresh and hot, with its signature molten mozzarella center. a deep-fried rice ball with a molten mozzarella center, made here for over forty years. The supplì arrives hot. Pull it apart slowly.
"The last thing you want after a long day in Rome is to stand on a sidewalk googling restaurants. We've made all the decisions. You just show up."
