TRASTEVERE, ROME FOOD TOUR | Best Places To EAT in TRASTEVERE & ROMA | Travsessed Rome, Italy

I am literally so full from pasta, bread, salad and all the things. I don't know how we're physically going to eat this or where we're going to put it, but I feel like we already have it. I'm so excited to delve into this, she doesn't know how we're going to do this, that's where I come in, nothing is left behind, period, end of story, we are Kim and Aaron and we are healthcare travelers who have been traveling around the United States. been taking contracts at different hospitals since 2012. After this crazy and exhausting time we've all had and working on the front lines of the pandemic for the last 13 months, we are now fully vaccinated and finally starting our dream journey with a year whole rest.

We travel the world in our latest video We set off for our 36+ hour day trip that started at an airport hotel in Orlando, Florida We are traveling to our first business class flight to Germany We are no longer in economy class . we will never go back, we will never go and finally, from Germany to Rome, Italy, which is our first destination of our year-long trip around the world. In this video, which is our first video in our Travces Italia series, we wanted to start like we started. any trip with a

food

tour

around our neighborhood with a local

food

guide, since we were already in Rome in 2013 and saw the sites before we knew what YouTube was, we set our sites during this trip in the Rome food scene when we Travel, we love finding the

best

local food and experiences and there is no better place than Rome to eat and drink, so subscribe and follow us as we gain weight for you on our food adventure through Rome.

That's how it went. On our first full day in Rome, we started a little late recovering from our 30 hour trip and 36 madness, but we are going on our food

tour

that we are so excited about, so one of the first things we always like to do Every time we get to a new place - we do a food tour with a local guide and we do a private tour, so it's a great way to really get to know the lay of the land and then we always make friends with our guide. and then ask them a million questions about where we should eat, what we should do, all the things they would do with their friends if they only had two weeks in Rome or however long, so that's where we're going to go ahead now and take them with us, okay, so pro tip: we get off and walk.

There is a beautiful trail along the Tiber River. I think it's some kind of river and we came here to walk because it was so pretty, but there are all these food stalls. along the way and they're all like hot dogs and hamburgers and tex-mex and like all these things that serve the woods of the American West, so the reason people come here, the reason they exist, It's because it's beautiful, so people want to eat with the view of the bridges and the river, there's a vibe, but this isn't where you'll find the

best

food. They are catering to tourists and people who want a nice view and that's why they just serve junk food because they know you won't come back so come here have a drink go for a walk and then go have dinner or lunch somewhere from the city in a more delicious and local place.

We recommend some place in this video and also that is one of the reasons why it is so good to do a food tour because if you are nervous or afraid to order or go to different restaurants, you have a local person who guides you and it is much easier to come back on your own and you learn the flow, that's why we always suggest food tours, that's why we're doing one tonight and I just wanted to also say that going to the uh Ross Valley deli, we're nervous that we wouldn't. do. We don't speak English and we didn't really know what we were ordering and we felt a bit rushed and nervous but you feel uncomfortable for a few minutes but it was a great experience and everything we ate was delicious so don't do it.

Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, even if you feel a little like: Oh my God, they want me to rush, I don't know what to do, just breathe, you'll figure it out and they're used to it. They are used to it, so get out of your comfort zone because that is where you will find the best food, the best, everything good, very poor, small, tiny, small buildings that are good and it shows, obviously, like the wealth of a neighborhood, obviously, look at the churches, such big churches, big mentored churches in the neighborhood, they donated a lot of money, they had money to donate to build the churches, in José's case, you have super small churches because people didn't have money. to donate but a small little church is one of the smallest churches we have in Santa Lucía the bell tower is the smallest bell tower of the almost a thousand churches we have in the city and the bell on the right side is the smallest bell of the thousand Iglesias is obviously like a really poor area, obviously, oh, this is our churro, our food guide and we've only been going for an hour drinking prosecco.

I feel like I've learned so much history, I'm so excited to get into it all. arturo

places

gave us an advantage because he also does historical tours here, which yes, that's what we love when you can mix history and food of course, regards, you can make a gesture, you can make this gesture here, yes, oh, that means delicious, okay, okay. that's easier that's good that's good okay yeah delicious double delicious okay and if you confront because it's too good you defend the move and you have like a mamma mia oh this is the highest of this type of breakfast so far this is amazing as if I felt like We're hanging out with our friend, yeah, I'm learning a lot about the whole history of Italy, the neighborhoods, like I didn't know, he's just tearing us down because it's just us, so we show them what you guys do.

I don't like all the off-the-beaten-path

places

. I'm looking at you, I'm not even looking at the camera, oh my God, pork flavored with salt, pepper, rosemary and fennel pollen, are you in heaven, oh my God, oh is this it? Oster is the guy who serves you the wine, so inside it's very Roman. Well, instead of an osteria you usually have cold cured meats, fresh cheeses and cheese in general. Well, maybe just a couple of hot dishes. Good, but many different wines. Okay, okay, so you go to those three more for the wine and then for the food in a saltoria.

Instead, it's the exact opposite, so maybe you just have a house wine that you had, okay, okay, but you have a higher selection of food, okay, so it's traditional Australian. restaurant for wine ataturia is normally a restaurant for food, that's fine and then you have the restaurant, which is a proper restaurant with good service, let's say both pelotons and osterias are usually local places, ah, that's perfect, was a really good explanation so actually this place is actually really cool because they have a restaurant around the corner but this is more of the street food area that they came up with and it's like a more modern type of street food So we had a fried meatball that is literally lightly fried. taste, oh god, if you can see that, oh my god, it's a beef meatball so it's much more tender, mix it hard like Italian men make it like Italian, I mean that's how it's done, yeah, al Typical American style, I mean, it was that good.

It was really good, okay, they've known me since I was 12, that's like a long time, yeah, spending my money here running away from school, stealing money from my mom, two euros, incredible, so we're so full right now that Arturo He did his job. I made everyone happy, hopefully, yes, very happy, oh no, now we're heading, my mom, we're heading to the digestive, now ending the night with a digestive, oh, this is special, I'm starting to walk around Italy and you You're not walking like that. you're not exactly doing it right correct two different things or digest even though you're just evil look I'll let you explain it both digestives we drink after eating a lot to digest obviously one is sweeter it's called margo del capo and one is very bitter it's called ginciana fact from a root it tastes very earthy oh it's bitter earthy oh my god no, it tastes like whiskey this one doesn't make any difference this one no yes, yes, remember what you always say, it's better it doesn't taste good it's for the purpose I need to digest me like this wow it's bitter so this morning we got up and went on a free walking tour of the city center bellissimo listen to something so cool to do your first few days wherever you go they have them all over the world they are completely free and you get to know the terrain, you meet other travelers, you learn about the history of the place where you are and my favorite part at the end.

Our guide today gave us a map and wrote down all the off the beaten path places to eat, things to do, things to see and check out, which to me is priceless and he is a local Roman born and raised. He says this is where you want. to go, this is what you want to do completely free, it's just a tip based service, that's why we tipped 20 euros, yes 20 euros, so leaving a tip between 10 and 20 euros per person is a Big tip because it's a free service and Alessandro. He was a history student so he knew a lot and we were impressed.

It was such a good tour and now we are heading to dinner with our friends Bobby Flay and another recommendation from our close friends, Bobby and Giada, we are heading. It's a restaurant called francisco francesca francesco, yes, sorry, if we're completely removing that name we'll put it in below, but it's supposed to have one of the best places to get classic Roman pastas, so let's go check it out . Yes, it's really cool because Rome is known for four classic pasta dishes. We ate one last night and now we're going to eat a couple more at this place.

It must be amazing, so let's go have a nice dinner, so we never officially close the meal. tour yesterday so we wanted to leave you with just a couple of tips because we had an amazing experience with Eat Europe so we booked with Eat Europe first. I can't speak for the company, but our guide Arturo was phenomenal, we learned. We ate so much amazing food that we paid more for a private tour which I think was worth it because we had it to ourselves and we could ask him all the questions and we became very intimate and we really had fun together, okay, so much fun?

We actually have a reservation at seven o'clock which is like the first reservation of the night and this is what it looks like at seven we're the only people here besides the workers yeah another fun fact we learned last night was The most authentic places have lunch from 12 to 3 and then close from three to seven that way they can prepare the food fresh. If they are running 24 hours then the food is not as fresh, that's something you can really see. by the time you're reserving your dinners and kim and i are the first to sit down tonight but we're looking forward to it ladies and gentlemen so oreste is the wine man let's celebrate his birthday okay nothing quick you should too to be there.

I'm the food man, yes, it came at the food bank, you know you have to fix other things and then you have to wash up here, please, yes, I can see that yes, okay, I'm making the fettuccine, so there's four classic Roman pastas, so one is the cache. pepe, which is what I got and it's just pasta, Romano pepperino cheese and black pepper, super simple and then number two is the carbonara, which is the same, it just has the popular cheese, black pepper, but it has egg, so It is made like an egg. base sauce and then four is grisha um and that's the same as the pepe with black pepper the pecorino but it has a charlie which is the jaw of the porpoise so it's like a bacon, it's delicious and then the last one really I don't know how To say this, I'm so sorry, it's iana and it's what we ate last night, which was amazing and it has guanciale, it has pepperoni cheese but it's also made with a tomato base, it's so delicious I'm excited. try them all, but those are like the classic four Roman pastas that you'll see in any kind of real Roman restaurant, like those are the favorites, so we stole the salad, so one thing that's really cool is that we.

We're literally two days into our trip and we're going to tackle three of the four main passes in Rome, so we still have the carbonara to hit, so we'll do that another time, which is really awesome, stay tuned, stay tuned, So I'm trying cacho and pepe for the first time. I have never tried this in my life. Okay, here we go, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, the pasta is perfect, like al dente, which we learned all about last night at our meal. tour, it has a bite like you have to chew it, it's like Alfredo in shit, but simple, clean, cheesy and spicy, oh my god, this is the best thing I've ever had in my life, okay? so it's time to go, I had to sit there painfully and watch the camera eat theirs, so now I can go, there's fettuccine with black truffle and as a challenge, oh I need the truffle, I know, I know, no I know how chocolate is. the fettuccine is perfect, it issaltiness of the guanciale, but the black truffle just blows it out of the water.

You need a spoon for the pool. Yes, please, okay, they prepared something special for us that they said was very Roman, so it's chicory, which is the vegetables. olive oil and garlic and they said it's like spinach but not as bitter and then four meatballs and a kind of truffle cream sauce. I am literally so full from pasta, bread, salad and all the things I make. 'I know how we're physically going to eat this or where we're going to put it, but I feel like we've done it. I'm very excited to delve into this. She doesn't know how we're going to do this.

That's where I. Come in, nothing is left behind, period, we were the first to arrive, but this place went crazy, I don't really remember what he said when the meatballs came out, it was something like I don't know how I'm going to eat. I think we did a good job. We're wrapping up our experience here at Don Francesca with some tiramisu. What better way to close it. Literally, the food speaks for itself. The pasta here was amazing, but the experience with the waiters at the song, they really made this very special and that's what really matters to us, it's not about the food, you can find good food anywhere, but everything the experience and they really embrace it here, which made it something we will always remember.
