Basilica of St. Mary in Trastevere
The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere (Italian: Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere); English: Our Lady in Trastevere) is a titular minor basilica in the Trastevere district of Rome, and one of the oldest churches of Rome. The basic floor plan and wall structure of the church date back to the 340s, and much of the structure to 1140–43. The first sanctuary was built in 221 and 227 by Pope Callixtus I and later completed by Pope Julius I. The church has large areas of important mosaics from the late 13th century by Pietro Cavallini.

One of Trastevere’s institutions, Antica Caciara has been run by the Polica family since it opened in 1900. Signor Roberto’s wonderful selection of cured meats, salami, cheese and olives is a treat for all the senses. Don’t leave without trying his Pecorino Romano, a hard, sheep milk cheese which comes directly from Signor Roberto’s uncle’s farm.
20 minutesAdmission included
Supplì (pizza and supplì)
A deep-fried rice ball, known as the supplì, is Rome's quintessential street food. Popular as a starter before pizza or as a satisfying street food snack, supplì are a staple of Roman cuisine. This deep-fried rice ball - not to be confused with Sicilian arancini - is cooked with tomato ragù, coated with bread crumbs and contains a mozzarella heart. Supplì are served in pizzerie, tavole calde and pizze al taglio across Rome.

Maritozzo Rosso Restaurant (carbonara, cacio e pepe or amatriciana tasting)
A food-lovers trip to Italy wouldn’t be complete without a stop to the Eternal City. Despite its Imperial heritage, the city approaches food in a relaxed manner, favoring its traditional cucina povera, "cuisine of the poor", a myriad of hearty dishes historically enjoyed by the populace, rather than the elite. Cucina povera is the soul of Roman gastronomy, and as any tourist will tell you, one of the best parts about visiting Rome!

Otaleg (artisanal ice-cream)
Revered gelataio Marco Radicioni skilfully churns some of the capital’s best gelato at this slick little store off Piazza San Cosimato. Otaleg (gelato spelled backwards) has a soft spot for the classics – think pistachio, lemon and dark chocolate – but proves delightfully experimental with seasonal combinations such as prickly pear and acacia honey.
