Eating Europe lists the tastings it often features rather than a fixed menu, because stops vary by day and season. Across the tour page, the Viator listing and recent reviews, the same Roman classics keep appearing.
Think of it as a full Roman dinner served in instalments: aperitivo and antipasti, street food, a primo of pasta, and something sweet.
The quick answer
Expect six or seven tastings: burrata or buffalo mozzarella, cured meats and cheese, supplì, white pizza with porchetta or mortadella, fried artichoke or zucchini, a pasta course of amatriciana or cacio e pepe, a maritozzo or biscotti, and gelato. Drinks include prosecco or a spritz, Roman wine and sometimes beer.
What is on the Twilight Trastevere menu?
A rotating line-up of Roman classics, from street food to a pasta course, with paired drinks.

| Antipasti | Cured meats and cheeses, prosciutto with buffalo mozzarella | Roman wine |
| Street food | Supplì, white pizza with porchetta or mortadella, fried zucchini or artichoke | Wine or beer |
| Primo | Amatriciana and/or cacio e pepe | Wine pairing |

Hungry yet? Every tasting, the pasta course and the wine are in one ticket.
Check dates for the Twilight Trastevere Food TourWhat is supplì?
Rome's fried rice ball: tomato risotto wrapped around a piece of mozzarella, breaded and fried.
Pull it apart and the cheese stretches like a telephone cord, which is why Romans call it supplì al telefono. It is the city's most classic street snack, and almost every Trastevere food tour includes one.
Which pasta do you eat?
Usually amatriciana (tomato, guanciale and pecorino) or cacio e pepe (pecorino and black pepper), served at a sit-down trattoria.
These are two of Rome's four classic pastas, alongside carbonara and gricia. The pasta course is the one stop where the group sits at a table and eats a full plate, with a glass of wine.
What is porchetta, and why is it on pizza?
Porchetta is slow-roasted, herb-stuffed pork from the hills outside Rome; Trastevere delis slice it into white pizza for a classic snack.
Pizza bianca, Rome's olive-oil flatbread without tomato, is split and filled with porchetta or mortadella. It is the kind of thing Romans eat standing up.
Is there wine, and how much?
Yes: drinks are paired with the food, typically prosecco or a spritz to start, then Roman wine, and sometimes a beer.
It is a tasting rather than an open bar, and extra drinks are paid separately. On some departures the group visits Spirito Divino, whose cellar Eating Europe says is 160 years older than the Colosseum.
Prefer the wine to lead? Devour's sunset tour pours six drinks across five spots.
Explore Trastevere at SunsetWhat is for dessert?
Artisan gelato at the end, and often a Roman pastry such as a maritozzo, a sweet bun split and filled with whipped cream.
Eating Europe names Fatamorgana among its gelato stops and Biscottificio Innocenti, a historic Trastevere biscuit bakery. Guides also explain how to spot real gelato: muted colours, and metal tubs with lids rather than towering mounds.
Does the menu change?
Yes. Tastings and stops vary by day, season and departure, so treat any menu as a guide rather than a promise.
The famous trattoria Da Enzo al 29 and the Spirito Divino cellar are on selected departures only. If you have dietary needs, read food tours with dietary needs before booking.
How much food is it in total?
Enough for dinner and more: reviewers repeatedly say they left very full.
Pace yourself at the first stops, because the pasta comes later. If you would rather cook your own pasta, Eating Europe's workshop in the same streets has you making fettuccine and ravioli.
Come hungry: book the evening and skip the restaurant reservation.
