✈️ Italy / Rome — June 17–19, 2026
Welcome to your bespoke Roman culinary odyssey! This journey is meticulously crafted for two food enthusiasts to uncover the authentic flavors of the Eternal City, from historic Jewish delicacies to the vibrant street food of Trastevere and Testaccio.
🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a true Roman summer with temperatures peaking between +28°C and +33°C. The sun is intense, especially during the "Solstice" period in mid-June. Clothing: Wear light linen or cotton. Always carry a light scarf or shawl to cover shoulders/knees when entering churches like the Pantheon. Hydration: Look for the nasoni (curved iron fountains) scattered throughout the city; the water is ice-cold, free, and perfectly drinkable. Strategy: Use the midday hours (13:00–16:00) to linger in shaded markets or air-conditioned cafes to avoid the peak heat.

Antico Forno Roscioli
07:30–20:00
A legendary bakery where the scent of freshly baked bread has filled the air since 1824. Try the pizza rossa —it’s impossibly thin and crispy. They use a specific ancient grain blend that makes their crust uniquely airy.
Don't miss
Look for the small plaque near the entrance marking the historic flood levels of the Tiber.

Jewish Ghetto (Boccione)
08:00–19:30
A tiny, signless portal to the past known for "burnt" delicacies. The Pizza Ebraica is a must—a dense, blackened cake of nuts and fruit that tastes like history. This bakery has been run by the same family for over 200 years without ever putting up a sign.
Don't miss
Notice the "Stumbling Stones" (brass cobblestones) in the pavement nearby, honoring victims of the Holocaust.

Crossing the Tiber via Ponte Sisto.

Stop mid-bridge for a perfect view of St. Peter’s dome in the distance.

Suppli Roma & Otaleg
10:00–22:00
The ultimate street food duo. Grab a supplì (fried rice ball) with its signature "stringy" mozzarella heart, then head to Otaleg for avant-garde gelato. Otaleg is "Gelato" spelled backwards, reflecting their "reverse" approach to traditional flavors.
Don't miss
Look for the hidden "Madonnella" (shrine) on the corner of Via di San Francesco a Ripa.

Wander through the ivy-draped streets of Trastevere.

🍽 Where to eat
- Osteria da Zi Umberto (Piazza di S. Giovanni della Malva, 14) — A classic Trastevere spot famous for Cacio e Pepe . It’s budget-friendly and authentic.
- Dar Poeta (Vicolo del Bologna, 45) — If you want a sit-down pizza, their slow-risen dough is legendary.
🎁 Souvenirs
- L'Antica Caciara (Via di San Francesco a Ripa, 140) — An incredible cheese shop in Trastevere. Buy a vacuum-sealed piece of authentic Pecorino Romano to take home.
- Tickets: No tickets are needed for today's stops, but bring cash for the small bakeries (Boccione often prefers it).
- Logistics: Trastevere is best explored on foot; the cobblestones ( sampietrini ) are uneven, so wear sturdy sandals or sneakers.
