Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Here you will meet our gay-friendly guide who will give you an overview of the historical relevance of this location and why it has become such a popular site to visit.
Here the first stop to taste the local food, the most classic of classics: “pizza romana”, or “scrocchiarella” crunchy and soft at the same time. You can have it white or dressed, always healthy and tasty.
The “cult snack” of Romans is the focaccia with “mortazza”- Roman slang for mortadella, the large meaty salami found in many Italian delis. Close your eyes and imagine Ancient Rome, enjoying snacks and warm bread with white or red local wine.

Stop 2 Pass by

This is the place where the members of a community, which believed in free love, were burnet alive. It seems that from this episode the word ‘finocchio’ (fennel) became a slang to refer to gay people. Eating fried street food around Campo dei Fiori is a must, when visiting Rome.Not just pizza, but also fried food belong to Roman tradition. Supplì (similar to croquettes) or cod fillet
This dish of battered and deep fried cod keeps locals coming back for more of this simple yet beautifully prepared fish. There are a few other things on the menu such as acciughe con burro (anchovies with butter).

Stop 3 Pass by

The most complete ancient building (125 AD) in Rome and one of the city's most spectacular sights.
And at the end of this feast of street food, wouldn’t you like an Italian ice cream?
