Rome Market and Pizza Making Tour

Freshly Baked Bread in Rome Freshly Baked Bread in Rome

This food market tour in Rome is proposed by Walks of Italy and is located in and around perhaps the Eternal city's most atmospheric daily market, Campo de' Fiori.

Traditionally frequented by chefs and cooks from local restaurants and family trattorie, where they source seasonal ingredients, your guide will introduce you to a number of stalls, some owned by the same families for more than a century.

In total, there are 12 stops on your tour where you can sample a product.

They include fresh bread from a bakery, prosciutto crudo, Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano cheeses, as well as mozzarella di bufala, Italian coffee, a typical dolce and fruit in season.

You will also have a chance to learn about extra virgin olive oil and traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena, and what the difference is between a 'Dop' and a 'Doc'.

But above all, you will be able to try your hand at pizza making at a local restaurant and see how Roman pizzas are very different from their Neapolitan cousins.

After your lesson, your pizza will be baked in a wood burning oven and then enjoyed in the restaurant.

After your tour you should be able to appreciate an authentic restaurant from a touristy one and how to eat well on authentic Roman street food.

Walks of Italy

Walks of Italy began as a small-group and private walking tour company. Our tours won many accolades, including glowing reviews on TripAdvisor, the New York Times and in Rick Steves’ guidebooks.

More recently we’ve enjoyed an extremely positive write-up in the Rick Steves’ Rome 2012 guidebook and collaboration with Showtime® as the tour operator for its winners in the The Borgias television show sweepstakes.
