Food Tour History

If you’re interested in exploring the history of Rome through its food, you’re in for a treat. This ancient city has a rich culinary heritage that dates back thousands of years. From the simple yet flavorful dishes of the Roman Republic to the extravagant feasts of the Renaissance, there is much to discover.

One iconic dish that is deeply rooted in Roman history is pasta all’amatriciana. This hearty pasta dish originated in the town of Amatrice, located just outside of Rome, and was brought into the city by workers who migrated from the surrounding countryside. Made with cured pork cheek, tomatoes, pecorino cheese, and chili pepper, it’s a delicious representation of the region’s traditional flavors.

Another must-try Roman dish is saltimbocca alla romana. This classic veal dish, which translates to “jump in the mouth,” features thinly sliced veal topped with prosciutto and sage, and cooked in white wine and butter. It’s believed to have been created during the Renaissance when wealthy families would indulge in lavish meals featuring elaborate meat dishes.

Of course, no visit to Rome would be complete without sampling some gelato. This Italian-style ice cream has been a favorite treat for centuries and comes in a variety of flavors, including pistachio, hazelnut, and stracciatella. Whether enjoyed as a midday snack or a post-dinner dessert, gelato is a sweet reminder of Rome’s enduring culinary traditions.
