What you'll see

Your journey begins in Trastevere, one of the oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods in the Eternal City. The first stop in Trastevere is to taste two must-try staples of Roman culinary tradition: the famous "supplì" – crispy rice croquettes filled with melted mozzarella, and the iconic "fiori di zucca alla romana" – delicate zucchini flowers stuffed with cheese and anchovies.
