✈️ Italy: Rome — June 17–20, 2026
Welcome to your bespoke Roman culinary odyssey. This journey is designed for two food enthusiasts to uncover the authentic flavors of the Eternal City, from ancient Jewish traditions to the vibrant street food of the modern Roman working class.
🌤 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, so hydration is key—look for the "nasoni" (curved-nose fountains) for free, ice-cold drinking water. Wear light, breathable fabrics, but keep a scarf in your bag for churches. We have scheduled a mid-day "siesta" to avoid the 12:00–17:00 heat, allowing you to enjoy the city during the magical "golden hours" and late sunsets.

🍽 Where to eat
- Boccione Bakery (Via del Portico d'Ottavia, 1) — Famous for "Pizza Ebraica," a dense, blackened fruitcake. No signs, just follow the smell of burnt sugar. Near: Jewish Ghetto.
🎁 Souvenirs
- L'Artigianato (Piazza Navona, 84) — High-quality Italian crafts and ceramics, far better than the tourist stalls.
- Hydration: Use the "Nasone" fountain in Piazza della Rotonda (Pantheon) to refill your bottle.
- Dress Code: If you plan to peek inside any churches, ensure shoulders and knees are covered.
