Join us on the Maritozzi Breakfast Tour in Trastevere, an exclusive culinary journey celebrating the iconic Roman pastry, the maritozzo, and other delicious treats. From sweet pastries to savory delights, this tour takes you from breakfast to lunch, offering an immersive cultural and gastronomic experience in one of Rome's most charming districts.
Begin your morning in the heart of Trastevere, one of Rome’s most enchanting neighborhoods. Known for its cobblestone streets, vibrant charm, and authentic Roman vibe, Trastevere sets the perfect stage for this culinary journey. Meet your expert foodie guide and prepare to embark on an unforgettable breakfast adventure.
Kick off your experience with a quintessential Roman breakfast: a steaming cappuccino paired with a flaky cornetto, or perhaps a robust espresso or comforting caffellatte. This first stop takes place in a venue rich with history—formerly the stage of a historic theater—where you’ll savor the timeless joy of morning rituals cherished by locals.
As your tour unfolds, stroll through Trastevere’s winding streets, brimming with character. Adorned with lush greenery and vibrant street art, these alleys are filled with stories waiting to be told. Your guide will reveal hidden gems and share fascinating insights about the district’s unique culture and history.
Next, step into a beloved family-run bakery, one of the oldest in the area. Here, you’ll sample the delightful ciavattone, a puff pastry filled with custard, ricotta, or jam. Crafted with generations of tradition, this artisanal treat is a true testament to Rome’s love for sweet indulgence.
The adventure continues at an iconic Roman bar, a bustling spot where locals gather to play cards and enjoy their morning routines. Sink your teeth into a soft, cloud-like maritozzo filled with whipped cream, perfectly complemented by a refreshing granita di caffè (coffee slush). This sweet pairing is a quintessential Roman favorite, offering a perfect blend of flavor and texture.
But the tour doesn’t stop at sweet delights. Discover the savory side of the maritozzo, a lesser-known yet equally delicious variation. At the final stop, savor maritozzi filled with rich and flavorful pollo alla cacciatora (hunter-style chicken) or the exquisite combination of burrata and anchovies. Paired with a glass of wine, this last indulgence ties your morning together with a touch of Roman elegance.
This unique tour is more than just a feast for the palate—it’s an exploration of Rome’s culinary traditions and cultural heartbeat. As you walk, taste, and discover, your guide will share valuable tips for continuing your culinary journey in the Eternal City.
