Rome Jewish Ghetto Food Experience

This is Rome told through three neighborhoods and a very good appetite. Move from Campo de’ Fiori to the Jewish Ghetto and across to Trastevere, tasting the dishes that carry the city’s history: fried artichoke or baccala, Roman pasta, porchetta, cherry-ricotta cake, wine, and gelato.

Three neighborhoods, one edible Roman history

Rome’s food makes more sense when you walk between neighborhoods. Campo de’ Fiori brings the market energy. The Jewish Ghetto brings centuries of culinary memory. Trastevere brings the wine, pasta, and late-day warmth that make people want to stay out longer than planned.

This experience connects those places through the dishes that still define them. You may taste porchetta, Roman-Jewish fried specialties, ricotta and sour cherry pie, Amatriciana, gelato, and wines along the way. Some bites are simple; others carry a much longer story.

It is not a cooking class, and it should not be described as one. It is a guided food experience for guests who want Rome’s history to feel tangible, generous, and served in courses.

    Our group loved everything about this class! Mariel lead our class and she was amazing! The entire evening was very authentic from buying our supplies from the butcher to making our dish and then dining family style in the most beautiful Restaurant. Finishing the night with a stroll through town for gelato was the perfect way to end. Highly recommend this class! Can’t wait to try pasta at home.

    We had a private tour with Leo for a food tour including the Jewish Ghetto & Trastevere areas. Leo was an excellent guide & provided information on the historical significance of some of the areas we saw. When we arrived at the restaurants, everything was arranged in advance, so no waiting or worry about crowds. We tried several different foods, each accompanied by some wine! It was a great tour & we would recommend!
