ITINERARY

The taste of Trionfale tour takes place in the foodie neighborhood of Rome close to the Vatican City. Your introduction to Italian cuisine begins with breakfast at La Pasticceria Siciliana. Enjoy a freshly made cannolo while sipping on a cappuccino.

Next enjoy the best pizza in Rome at the legendary Pizzarium, recommended by Anthony Bourdain and countless bloggers. Famed baker Gabriele Bonci known as the ‘Michelangelo of pizza,’ creates more than 50 variations each day.

Daily toppings are impossible to predict, but expect to find the highest quality, in season produce. Favorites include the potato and mozzarella and the fig with prosciutto.

Following Pizzarium, visit La Nicchia Cafè gourmet food shop. Here try cheeses and cured meats, truffles, aged balsamic vinegars, olive oils and other treats.

Cheese tastings include Parmigano Reggiano drizzled with 30 year aged balsamic, Gorgonzola dolce and Pecorino Romano. Sample some of the finest prosciutti, including Parma, San Daniele and Cinta Senese. D.O.C.G Falangina wine will be offered to compliment the tastings.

Nothing puts you more in touch with the Roman culture than the Trionfale market, with its captivating characters, colors and sounds. Meet the families running these stalls and learn how to shop like a local.

Sample juicy buffalo mozzarella, melanzane parmigiana and porchetta. The Italian wine labeling system is demystified, with natural wine tastings from vineyards across the country.

Following the market, savor two types of homemade pasta with calamari, from a locally loved family owned restaurant. Enjoy ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta cheese, gnocchi with four cheeses and D.O.C.G Vermentino wine.
