From a Bridge Built in 62 BC: Trastevere with 7+ Tastings

The route starts on a bridge that has been carrying people across the same stretch of water since 62 BC, and ends with gelato. In between, seven tastings and more. It opens with a Roman artichoke and burrata, and a glass of prosecco. Then fiori di zucca at a well known trattoria, skipping the queue: courgette flowers stuffed with mozzarella and anchovy, battered and fried, which taste of the anchovy more than you expect and are gone in two bites. Roast porchetta from a family deli. Supplì. Two Roman pastas with a glass of Roman wine. Gelato at the most famous bar in the quarter. And the Secret Dish, which is never listed in advance. The walk between the food is worth the ticket on its own. Ponte Fabricio, the oldest bridge in Rome with its original structure intact, built in 62 BC and known as the Bridge of the Four Heads. Tiber Island, where the Temple of Aesculapius stood, put up after the plague of 293 BC when the Senate sent for the Greek god of medicine. Piazza in Piscinula, named after the Roman baths that once stood there and the only square in the city that kept such a name. The House of Dante. Vicolo del Moro, past La Renella, one of the oldest bakeries in Rome, where the smell reaches the street. Meeting point is Bar Savello, Via di Monte Savello 26. The guide holds an orange umbrella. The walk ends at Piazza Gioachino Belli.
