The first strides towards reaching the peak of Michelangelo’s dome are taken on the marble slabs of St. Peter’s Square. The entire count is 551 steps, but we’ll take an elevator to make the journey slightly easier, reducing the steps to a manageable 380. Don’t fret — we pace ourselves and take regular stopovers on the staircase!
After a morning filled with walking and scaling, ensure you’re armed with a hearty appetite for a gastronomical tour unlike any other! The 10 Tastings indeed live up to its massive name. Rome won’t offer a more enjoyable and satiating food excursion! Your gourmet guide is a local Rome resident and she has handpicked her most-loved snacking locales in the historical center. Bask in an irresistible food trip that takes you across the River Tiber during the magical early evening hours.
On your plate will be: suppli, calzone and pizza, pasta to split (cacio e pepe, carbonara or amatriciana), parmigiana, arrosticini and bruschetta, filetto baccalà, salami paired with a petite glass of wine, ciambellina al vino, tiramisù, coffee, and limoncello.
