Tour Description

Our Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere food tour introduces you to the vast variety of food and drink the Eternal City has to offer. Sample sumptuous local delicacies including steaming supplì   (fried rice balls oozing with creamy mozzarella), bite into Roman  baccalà  (fried cod – think English fish and chips but  so  much better) and tuck into some beloved  taglio al forno , topped with seasonal hams, vegetables, or cheeses.

All that culinary indulgence can be hard work. Which is why you’ll build up an appetite exploring Rome’s stunning center with your local guide. Your Jewish Ghetto and Trastever food tour takes you through two of Rome’s most authentic neighborhood. Characterized by its worn cobblestone streets and ivy-coated pastel-colored buildings, these two river-straddling quarters are the most authentic places to try Cucina Romana   – typical Roman food – which involves so much more than the usual Italian fare of pizza and pasta.

A gastronomic adventure through the heart of the Eternal City

Guided by a passionate food and wine expert, you’ll discover the most exquisite food Rome has to offer. Your private Trastevere food tour  starts in the Jewish Ghetto , the beating heart of the historic center, just a stone’s throw from our first food stop, before moving on to other important foodie neighborhoods in Rome.

Next, we”ll visit the stunning square of  Campo de’ Fiori , stopping off at a Rome’s best-loved butcher’s, before crossing the river to the bustling, trendy neighborhood of  Trastevere .

Enjoy fine Roman dining in a traditional trattoria

After sampling food in several locations, we’ll sit and relax for dinner it a romantic trattoria . Only now do we move on to the meal, which traditionally starts with pasta. There’ll be a generous selection to choose from, including classics such as Cacio e Pepe ,  Amatriciana , and the renowned Roman classic – Spaghetti alla Carbonara .

Why limit ourselves to pasta though when there’s so much Roman cuisine to choose from. Rich, meaty dishes like Coda alla Vaccinara  and thin and crispy side servings of Carciofi alla Giudia combine to create an unforgettable meal. Accompanied, of course, by fine local wines.

Indulge yourself in sweet treats at the end of the evening

Our foodie guides are all experts in Italian food and wine . Throughout your food odyssey through the Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere, they’ll navigate you through understanding the complexities of Italian culinary culture as you munch your way through the finest food Rome has to offer.

Rome Food Tour Jewish Ghetto – a journey back in history

  • May 2, 2022

rome food tour jewish ghetto

The Rome food tour Jewish Ghetto will lead you through one of the oldest neighborhoods in Rome, also known as the Jewish quarter of Rome. It is located in the picturesque district of Sant’Angelo and the Tiber Island, formed by the wedges of the river. Today it is one of the most beloved areas of the Eternal City, thriving with Jewish-Romanesque restaurants which are appreciated by gourmet travelers from all over the world.

Jewish Ghetto in Rome – some historical facts

Historically, the Roman ghetto was born in 1555 when Pope Paul IV issued a bull to limite civil rights and freedoms of the Roman Jewish community, ordering the establishment of a segregation area and forcing Jews to live surrounded by walls. It is actually one of the oldest ghettos in the world and arouse only 40 years after the ghetto in Venice, which is actually the most ancient in Italy.

The walls were pulled down in 1870 and the ghetto underwent different transformations, but it still keeps its original structure, made of small alleys, creating a unique atmosphere. Today, you’ll be amazed at the maze of narrow streets that offer breathtaking views and guide you through ancient Roman and medieval vestiges.

Jewish Ghetto in Rome – a must stop!

When you visit Rome, the ghetto is a must-see. It is one of the most culturally vibrant areas of the city. We highly recommend reaching it through Trastevere, in this way you pass by Ponte Cestio, cross the Tiber Island until you reach Lungotevere de ‘Cenci. The first view: the splendid dome of Tempio Maggiore.

  • Charming streets – Among the most picturesque streets where you can enjoy wonderful walks, you can’t miss Via della Reginella, Via di Sant’Ambrogio and Via del Tempio.
  • Stunning churches – Don’t forget to admire the Church of Sant’Angelo in Pescheria, built inside the ancient fish market on the remains of Portico d’Ottavia, the Church of San Gregorio in Divina Pietà and the Church of Santa Maria in Campitelli.
  • Its main highlight – The ghetto in Rome is famous above all for the splendid synagogue: Tempio Maggiore, which dates back to the early 1900s. Inside, the Major Temple also houses the Jewish Museum of Rome, a truly authentic cultural institution not to be missed when visiting Jewish Rome.

Rome food tour Jewish Ghetto – Taste the Jewish-Roman Cuisine

Renowned for its many restaurants and taste shops, the Jewish district of Rome offers visitors ancient kosher recipes. Everyone may know the typical Roman recipes, but how many people really know the connection between the Roman food and wine culture and the Jewish-Roman one? On our Rome food tour Jewish Ghetto you will be surprised with ancient food traditions!

It is not by chance, indeed, that this neighborhood is considered an unmissable place for all food and wine lovers. The ghetto is a city within the city and offers real food treats:

  • Artichokes alla giudìa is a tasty dish based on artichokes, which are soaked in water and lemon, and then fried.
  • Concia is a dish made of Roman zucchini cut in strips and fried. They are then placed in an oven dish and seasoned with basil, garlic and vinegar.
  • Another great classic of Jewish-Romanesque cuisine is the aliciotti and endive pie . In this case, the endive is marinated with oil, garlic, onion and pepper, then alternated with the anchovies to create a pie which is then baked.
  • During Shabbat instead, the typical dish of Roman Jews is beef stew cooked with tomato .
  • And to end the meal? The typical dessert is the ricotta and sour cherry cake : a real delicacy!

Are you ready to taste all the traditional Jewish-Romanesque recipes? Join our Rome food tour Jewish Ghetto to live a journey back in history!

Top 9 Places To Eat in the Jewish Ghetto of Rome in 2024

Sean Finelli Last Updated: January 8, 2024

Looking for a great restaurant or place to eat in Rome’s Jewish Ghetto? The good news is, there are tons of delicious restaurants and trattorias nearby, You’ve just got to find them amongst the tourist traps. Look no further, as our local team in Rome have done their homework and updated this list!

Pro Tip:  It’s easier to organize your trip when you have all your resources in one place. Bookmark this post so you can easily find it when you’re in the city. See our guide to Rome  for more planning resources, our  top Rome tours  for a memorable trip, and the top foods to try in Rome .

The 9 Best Restaurants in the Jewish Ghetto

The Jewish Ghetto is an extremely important area of Rome for many reasons but above all for the cuisine. You could argue that religion makes it even more important, but I really like the food, so I am biased.

The cuisine in the Jewish Ghetto was once very different from food in the rest of Rome because the Vatican walled off the area. For religious persecution, they separated the Jewish Ghetto from the rest of the city

The produce brought into the ghetto and the food they produced differed from the rest of the city due to isolation and extreme poverty. Today, the differences are not as pronounced. However, many locals argue that the ghetto has maintained the most traditional cuisine in the center.

If you love food and travel (and we think you do!), check out our local food tours in Rome . They’re a great way to explore a new city and eat good authentic food.

Beppe e i Suoi Formaggio

food tour jewish ghetto rome

€€ | Cheese Shop and Restaurant | Family Friendly

I found “Beppe and His Cheeses” (a translation) sometime in 2014, and now it’s a must for me whenever I’m in the Jewish Ghetto. Their strategy is to purchase and sell cheeses, meats, and other products produced by smaller farms.

The idea is that smaller, more meticulous producers will yield better quality products than the mass producers. That is quite likely true. You can pop into Beppe and purchase cheese to go or have a tasting of cheese, meats, and local products.

They even prepare seasonal dishes, which makes it an excellent choice for lunch or dinner. A cool tip is to order a glass of wine standing up and have a cheese tasting at the bar.

Address : Via di S. Maria del Pianto, 9a/11

Boccione Jewish Bakery Jewish Ghetto Rome

€€ | Jewish Bakery | Family Friendly | Kosher

This small bakery is a cornerstone of the Jewish community in Rome and I mean that both figuratively and literally. They make many delicious treats, which has earned them international praise. They’re best known for two things.

The first is sour cherry and ricotta pie, which is really nice since it’s less sweet than the pies you may be used to. They focus more on natural ingredients. You have to try it to decide for yourself.

The second item is a dish named Pizza Ebraica, which translates to “Hebrew Pizza.” It’s not actually pizza—it’s more of a cake. I don’t personally like it, but that’s just me. You should definitely give it a try as it’s extremely particular and culturally very important to the area.

Address: Via del Portico d’Ottavia, 1

Sora Margherita

food tour jewish ghetto rome

€€ | Family Friendly | Traditional Jewish-Roman Cuisine

Sora Margherita is one of those local spots you simply have to go to—it’s been famous for years. Every year I wonder, “Is this place too popular with tourists for its own good?” And every year my answer is basically yes, but I still go because the food is really good and it’s reasonably priced.

It isn’t simply foreign tourists that go here to eat. Italian tourists from all over wait outside for a table to try the food since it is a great example of authentic Roman cuisine in the historical center. I wouldn’t rate any one dish as the “ best in Rome ” but I do think they have a balanced, high-quality menu.

Address: Piazza della Cinque Scole, 30

Nonna Betta

Nonna Betta Jewish Artichoke Rome

€€ | Family Friendly | Traditional Jewish-Roman Cuisine | Outdoor Seating

Nonna Betta is a great lunch or dinner spot. It’s right on the main road, Via del Portico d’Ottavia, in the Jewish Ghetto and has excellent food. They’re my choice for the best Jewish artichokes in Rome, which would also mean the best on Earth.

It’s a nice enough restaurant and relatively inexpensive, which makes it an easy choice. Definitely put this restaurant on your radar as the ambiance is great.

Address: Via del Portico d’Ottavia, 16

Al Pompiere

Traditional Jewish-Roman cuisine and a cool atmosphere make Pompiere a contender for your Jewish Ghetto lunch or dinner. It’s a little more low-key than Nonna Betta or Sora Margherita, which may make it a better choice for those who don’t want the hustle and bustle.

Address: Via di S. Maria de’ Calderari, 38

€€€ | Jewish-Roman Cuisine | Outdoor Seating

If you’re looking for a more elegant lunch or dinner and possibly outdoor seating, Piperno is great. It’s considered high-end but not over-priced. The food is possibly the best quality Jewish cuisine in Rome as higher prices normally signal higher quality ingredients.

You can sit inside or outside and be waited on by professional waiters at this lovely gem in the Jewish Ghetto. It’s an old-school formal experience that will likely become a fond memory of Rome!

Corona Gelateria

food tour jewish ghetto rome

€ | Family owned | Delicious

Any Roman (or Italian for that matter) when asked, will tell you that their local gelateria is the best in the city. While I don’t have only one favorite, Gelateria Corona is definitely in the top five.

This second-generation, family-owned gelateria has been making sweet gelato for years and, quite frankly, it’s delicious. They’re located right outside the “walls” of the Jewish ghetto in busy Largo Argentina, but you have to look closely or you could walk right past the entrance.

What I love about this place, besides the taste obviously, are their adventurous flavors. For example, lemon with basil or honey with spicy pepper. Skip dessert in the restaurant and come here for a gelato after dinner.

A very quick history of Rome Ghetto

The area we now know as Rome Ghetto has been inhabited since Roman times.

This area originally hosted temples of Roman Gods and Goddesses such as Apollo and Bellona and then developed to host a circus, a theater and a market.

In medieval times, the area acquired streets, shops and churches. In 1555, a significant event happened.

On the 14th of July 1555, Pope Paul IV Carafa issued the Papal Bill Cum Nimis Absurdum and declared ‘absurd’ how the Jewish people of Rome lived mixing with Christians.

He therefore created a Jewish Ghetto, a gated area where all the jewish of Rome would have to move and live. He settled in along the Tiber, close to the Tiber Island.

This is the area we know know as the Jewish Ghetto of Rome. The ghetto remained operational until 1870.

In the following decades, the whole area was demolished and rebuilt over the river level.

The XX century was an eventful time for Rome’s Jewish Ghetto.

In 1905 the area acquired the Temple but anti-jewish feelings and laws quickly grew, leading to the promulgation of the infamous Racial Laws of 1939.

In 1943, with the nazi-fascist occupation opened a new tragic chapter. On the 16 ottobre 1943, at night, the authorities raided the Jewish Ghetto of Rome and deported 1022 people. Very few returned.

With the liberation, the end of the war and then the republic, things started normalizing.

In 1987 the Rome community took the name of Community’ Ebraica di Rome and new agreements got reached with the Italian State.

Nowadays, the ghetto is a bustling, sought after area attracting locals and visitors with its delicious restaurants and unique atmosphere.

It is however also a fundamental place in Rome for remembrance and a touching, significant one dotted with memories of the prosecutions that happened in old and recent times.

Best things to see in the Jewish Ghetto

The best way to explore the Jewish Ghetto of Rome is to walk around and take in the atmopshere. However, a few things are worth seeking out.

The Rome Synagogue and the Jewish Museum of Rome

The Synagogues is the main Temple in Rome (Tempio Maggiore) and also houses the Jewish Museum of Rome.

Pietre d’Inciampo (Stolpersteine or Stumbling Stones)

Pietre d’inciampo are small brass plaques you notice isn several parts of Rome’s Ghetto (and not only), lodges into the ground.

At first sight, they look like brass cobbles; however, as you get closer, you will notice each them has a carving with a name dates. Each is, in fact, a way to commemorate one prerson who went thought the horror of the Jewish prosecution in Rome in nazi-fascist time.

Pietre di inciampo (stumbling stones) in Rome: square small brass plaques lodged in Rome's street pavements

The Pietre d’Inciampo (lit. Tripping Stones) are recent: created by German artist Gunter Demnig in 1990, the plaques are called ‘stumbling stones’ or ‘tripping stones’ (inciampo = tripping, losing your balance) as this is exactly what they do.

They force you to stop your wandering and take a minute to learn and remember the events and the people they recall.

You find stumbling stones in several parts of the ghetto and other locations in Rome. In the city, there are over 200 of them.

Portico d’Ottavia (Octavia’s Portico)

Octavia’s Portico is an ancient Roman building still standing in the Jewish Gghetto of Rome, between the Theater of Marcellus and the Great Synagogue.

The portico is the only remaining part of the old Circus Flaminium and takes its name from Octavia, sister of Emperor Augustus, who rebuilt this portico in 23-27 AD.

Ancient Roma ruin of Portico D'Ottavia in the Jewish Ghetto of Rome

The Portico is  four-sided, it measures 119 x 132 meters and used to include several temples (Temple of Juno Regina and Temple of Jupiter Stator), two libraries and the  Curia Octaviae , a large public meeting space.

In the Middle Ages, the area turned into a fish market (Foro Piscario) and acquired a church: the aptly named ‘Church of St Angelo in Pescheria’ (Pescheria = fish market).

Not all of this arrived to us however, this archaeological area is beautiful and charming: a well laid out pedestrian path allows to safely get close to the ruins from wither the Theater of Marcellus or Synagogue.

Fun fact! is of from here that, in 1347,  Cola di Rienzo  set out to conquer the Capitoline Hill!

Marcellu’s Theater

the Theater of Marcellus is on the edge of the Jewish Ghetto, just beside ancient Portico D’Ottavia.

Marcellus Theater in Rome with ancient columns on the right

The Theater is a wonderful examples of ancient Roman theater and while close to the public, it easy to enjoy from the outside.

As you walk here, you will notice its imposing arches, reminiscent of those of the Colosseum, and you marvel at the presence of apartments (!) at the very top of this I century AD marvel!

You can read all about Marcellus’ theater here .

Piazza delle Cinque Scole and Rome’s Ghetto most charming streets

The Ghetto area is characterised by mostly small, pretty cobbles streets with buildings painted in the traditional Roman ochra and orange tones.

The best way to enjoy these roads is by allowing yourself to get lost: the area is rather small and you won’t stay lost for long, the Tiber and the Synagogue easily operating as your main bearings.

If you prefer directions, some of the prettiest streets in the area are Via della Reginella, via di Sant’Ambrogio, via del Tempio, piazza delle Cinque Scole and piazza dei Cenci.

Cobbled street in the Jewish Ghetto of Rome on a rainy day

Worth of special attention is Piazza delle Cinque Scole, named after the five temples that existed in the area before the building of the Synagogue: one of the most fascinating squares in Rome

Tempietto del Carmelo

In Piazza Costaguti there is a peculiar building, know as Tempietto del Carmelo.

The Tempietto (lit. Little Temple) is a semi-circular strucrure with columns and dates from 1759, when a local family built it to protect a scacred image of the Virgin housed here.

After the war, the building was a in terrible state of repair and two shoemakers located here their place of business, securing the temple with a gate.

After they moved to more suitable spaces, the temples remained closed until 2005, when restoration work brought back the pretty columns and the inscription at the top of the temple, now well visible.

The square has a delightful fountain called Fountain of the Turtles and has several cafes with outdoor tables that make is a poplar hanging for locals and tourists alike.

This is one of the pretties fountains in Rome and one I highly recommend you seek out.

Piazza Margana

PIazza Morgana is at the edge of the Rome’s ghetto, towards Piazza Venezia.

This is a small square with medieval aspect and one of my favorite piazzas in Rome .

The piazza owes its name from the Morgana family who had there residence here in the 1400s and it is unique in Rome as it feels a little like a square in a small village: very different from large and busy Piazza Venezia and Torre Argentina nearby!

Piazza Margana Rome

House of Lorenzo Manilio

Constructed in 1468, the house of Lorenzo Manilio is a peculiar building with a unique facade.

On its front, an inscription reads: URBE ROMA IN PRISTINAM FORMA ENASCENTE LAUR MANLIUS KARITATE ERGA PATRI EDIS SUO NOMINE MANLIANAS PRO FORT AR MEDIOCRITATE AD FOR IUDEOR SIBI POSTERISQ SUIS A FUND P AB URB CON MMCCXXI L AN M III D II P XI CAL AUG or  ” While Rome is reborn to its ancient splendor, Lorenzo Manilio, as a sign of love for his city, built from the foundations on Piazza Giudea, in proportion to its modest possibilities, this house that takes the name of Manliana from its surname, for himself and his descendants, in the year 2221 from the foundation of Rome, at the age of 50, 3 months and 2 days; he founded the house on the eleventh day before of the calends of August “ .

Lorenzo Manili also made sure his name was carved three times in Latin and one in Greek on the house, that the motto  Ave Roma  was on the windows, and he also embedded archaeological finds in the house plaster: all to show his love for the city!

The Jewish Ghetto of Rome

Top Things to Do and See at the Jewish Quarter in Rome

Discover the Jewish Ghetto turned hip central quarter where boutique stores and kosher restaurants sit alongside picturesque historic buildings belying an enticing and rich history of the Jews in Rome.

The Jewish Quarter in Rome is a great spot to partake of delicious fresh bread or a traditional Jewish-style fried artichoke ( carciofi alla giudìa ). As you enter, on the east bank of the Tiber, the streets begin to huddle around you. Curious markings and talismans adorn the walls and men in black caps with ringlets mix with the other locals. Recently gentrified, Kosher is now chic here. Old and new mix to create a bustling neighbourhood quarter with boutique stores.

jewish-neighbourhood-rome

In the Jewish Quarter residents now hang their clothes in their much coveted apartments in the arch of ancient ruins, but their history in Rome is also much darker than many might realize.

Denied the right to live where they pleased in Rome, Jewish people  were sent to the smelly and flooded fish market where the fashionable Jewish Quarter now stands by Pope Paul IV in the 16th century. Churches were built on every corner affecting a physical and religious barrier.

As a result of being unable to partake in trades such as art making or metal casting, the Jewish community started money lending. Today, a large percent of the shops in Rome are owned by Jewish Romans, and the Jewish Ghetto is one of the most vibrant and beautiful neighborhoods in the center.

Tour Description

Explore the Culture and History of Europe's Oldest Jewish Community

On this private tour of Rome's Jewish Ghetto we'll spend roughly 3 hours touring the oldest Jewish community in Europe, appreciating the legacy of the first Jewish merchants who traversed the Tiber into ancient Rome. We'll discover the remnants of the communities they built, and learn all about the rich heritage of a neighborhood that has been a center of faith and worship since the Middle Ages. Join us as we stroll the streets of the quarter once designated as the only location Jews could live or work in the city - a neighborhood once enclosed by high walls and plagued by the constantly flooding waters of the Tiber river. In this triangular enclave in the heart of the historic center we'll admire one of the Eternal City's most beautiful fountains as well as the ruins of ancient Rome's most spectacular theatre. Most importantly, we'll get to the heart of Rome's Jewish community's center of worship since the early 1900s.

On this private tour we'll walk the narrow streets that wind their way toward the river, exploring the Tiber Island before crossing to the other bank and reaching Trastevere. The original home of Roman Jews from ancient times, here we'll see the ruins of one of the oldest synagogues in Europe. Along the way we'll also stop to enjoy some of the tempting delights at the Kosher bakeries and pizzerias in this historically rich section of Rome.

Rome has had a Jewish population for over 2,000 years. Emigration into the ancient world's greatest metropolis began around 140 BC, when Jews came to the fertile banks of the Tiber river and were absorbed into Roman society as traders, merchants, diplomats and slaves. Jewish traders from Israel first settled in the neighbourhood of Trastevere and by late antiquity over 30,000 Jews lived and worked in the city.

Today, one can see the remains of the ancient Trastevere synagogue that once stood in what remains one of Rome's most characteristic quarters even today. As the Middle Ages rolled around the Jewish community had shifted to the eastern banks of the Tiber. Their fortunes took a tragic turn for the worse in 1555, when the community was confined to a segregated area called the “ghetto” by Pope Paul IV. This was the period of the Counter-Reformation, when Catholicism was becoming more militant and hostility towards religious minorities was on the rise. Almost 5,000 Jews were walled into this tiny flood-prone area of only 7 acres and subjected to harsh restrictions on their civil liberties - curfews, limited work possibilities and the obligation to wear identifying yellow hats or scarves amongst them. The walls were finally torn down in the late 19th Century, but the Jewish Ghetto remains a distinctive area of Rome that is still the centre of the city's Jewish community even today.

The quarter's maze of cobblestoned streets are studded with kosher bakeries and restaurants, and make for one of our most atmospheric private tours in Rome. One of the real jewels of the Ghetto is  Piazza Mattei ,   home to one of the most beautiful fountains in Rome: the Fountain of the Turtles is a 16th-century masterpiece designed by Giacomo della Porta, a landmark of Renaissance sculpture. The turtles were added by none other than the Baroque master Gianlorenzo Bernini in the 17th century.

Nearby Via della Reginella offers a snapshot of what life in the Ghetto was like during the days of confinement. The narrow street is lined with buildings stretching seven stories high- a testament to the tenements Jews were forced to build upwards due to the cramped quarters of the ghetto. Further into the quarter is the piazza between Portico d'Ottavia and Tempo Maggiore, where Jews were rounded up before being deported under Nazi occupation. A plaque commemorates this piazza as the location where over 1,000 Roman Jews were taken to become victims of the Holocaust. Only 16 returned.

Towering over the Tiber from its riverside perch, the Synagogue of Rome is a unique and beautiful testament to the restoration of Rome's Jewish community to their rightful place in the city, completed in 1905. In contrast to the innumerable Baroque monuments of Rome, the synagogue adopts Persian and Babylonian architectural designs and striking eastern artistic adornments. Inside, a museum chronicles the presence of Jews in the Eternal City from the time before Christ through to their persecution under the Fascist regime, culminating in their deportation on Hitler's orders.

The Jewish quarter is also home to one of the oldest standing and best preserved theatres of Ancient Rome. The Teatro Marcello  was originally constructed by Julius Caesar and completed after his death in 11 B.C. by the emperor Augustus. This vast amphitheater, named after his favorite nephew and son-in-law, was one of the greatest theaters of ancient Rome.

Join us on this unique Rome private tour to discover a vitally important but often forgotten chapter of the Eternal City's fascinating history.

Tour Reviews

5.0 (13 reviews)

We had a wonderful time going on a tour with Janet to learn about the history of the Jews in Rome. Not only was it informative and interesting and relevant but our guide, Janet, was such a lovely accommodating guide to be with. We learned a lot and managed to see the synagogue and have a tour of the Jewish museum as well. Janet was great dealing with all the stops my kids had to have and we were late to start the tour but she continued with us so that we had the full 3 hours. I highly recommend this tour with this company for anyone wanting a real Jewish history.

Shlom - Jul 27, 2023

The Best Jewish Food in Rome

Jewish Food Rome Artichokes

by What a Life Tours, 27 Nov 2019

Rome’s Jewish Quarter is home to one of the oldest Jewish communities in western Europe and is well known for its inventive kosher cuisine. Despite having a past full of trials and tribulations, this resilient district has endured with an astoundingly proud and deeply-rooted culture. One thing that is for certain is that we all can enjoy the deliciously unique foods that have emerged from the Roman Jewish Ghetto!

The Vast History of the Jewish Ghetto

food tour jewish ghetto rome

The Jewish community in Rome has endured & created a rich culture despite poor conditions in the past

While today the picturesque streets make for a popular tourist attraction, it is important to remember the immense history that once took place in the Roman Jewish Ghetto. From the 16th to 19th century, the Jewish community in Rome lived with very restricted circumstances, few job opportunities, and a regulated curfew. To make matters worse, the Jewish population was limited to a locked and gated area which was prone to flooding.

In the midst of their struggles, families who lived here made use of the less sought after scraps of food and affordable ingredients like artichokes, zucchini, cod, and anchovies – all of which are key ingredients in their modern cuisine.

Keeping it Kosher

Jewish-Ghetto-Streets-Rome-Food

Most restaurants in the Jewish Ghetto offer options for a kosher diet!

As you stroll along the Via del Portico d’Ottavia, it’s easy to see why the district is known for its charming assortment of boutique shops, trendy bars, and kosher eateries. Before grabbing a table, check the menus. Following  kosher  tradition and dietary rules, dairy and meat are never served together. So, many restaurants either choose to serve one over the other, or they keep the products in separate kitchens and on separate menus.

If you are a foodie looking to make the most of your time in Rome, read on to learn about the most authentic and delicious dishes served in the Jewish Ghetto!

The Famous Jewish-Style Artichokes (Carciofi alla Giudia)

Carciofi-Jewish-Style-Artichokes

Jewish-Style artichokes are a must when visiting the Jewish Ghetto- just make sure to try them while they are in season! Photo by: Marco Iannantuoni

As you enter Rome’s Jewish Ghetto you will immediately notice the abundance of artichokes that are piled high in baskets outside of almost every restaurant. The Jewish-style artichokes are unique in that they are tenderized, peeled, boiled, flattened, opened, and deep fried before being topped off with a little bit of lemon juice and salt. The final result, which is savory and tender, makes for a tasty snack or side dish.

It’s recommended to order this iconic plate when the artichokes are in their prime season, which is typically sometime between February and April. This is easily one of the most famous dishes found in the Roman Jewish Ghetto, so if you are going to try one thing, make sure it is this! In fact, we love this dish so much that it is the first food you will try on our popular  Tastes of Rome Food Tour .

You’ll Never Run Out of Kosher Breads, Pastries, & Cakes to Try

Pasteries-Jewish-Food-Rome

Pizza Ebraica isn’t actually pizza, it’s a tasty cake filled with fruit and nuts!

The Jewish community of Rome excels in all things culinary, but this is particularly true with desserts and pastries. Take the Pizza Ebraica, or “Pizza Dolce Ebraica,” for example. This dessert cake which dates all the way back to the 16th century, is a sweet bread typically filled with candied fruit peels, cherries, and nuts.

“Crostata” is another local Jewish-Style treat that will surely satisfy your sweet tooth! These tart-like pastries are filled with ricotta cheese and mouthwateringly cherries. One of the most popular dessert destinations in the quarter is  Pasticceria Boccione , which has been selling sweets to the locals and visitors of the community for well over a century! Although it does not have a sign, you can locate it  here .

Supplí- An Irresistible Snack!

Suppli-Jewish-Rome

Looking for a savory snack to grab while walking through the cobblestone streets? Look no further than Supplí!

Did you know that Supplí, a traditionally Roman street food dish, actually has its roots in the Jewish Ghetto? These tasty balls are typically stuffed with rice, tomato sauce, and mozzarella. Afterwards, it is dipped in raw egg, rolled in bread crumbs, and then fried to produce an irresistible handheld snack. Throughout Rome, supplí are often made with cheese and meat, but as kosher restrictions are enforced in the Ghetto, you have to choose between one or the other. It’s a tough choice to make!

You Have to Try These Fried Zucchini Flowers (Fiori di Zucca)

Fried-Zucchini-Flowers

Another popular fried snack that was born in the Ghetto and later adopted by all of Rome is the Fiori di Zucca. Zucchini flowers are usually stuffed with mozzarella cheese or salted anchovies before being battered and fried. The result is light, crispy, salty, and delicious! Be warned however, because you can never have just one!

For the Main Course- Jewish-Style Cod Fish (Baccala all’Ebraica)

Baccala, dried cod which has been salted for preservation, is quite popular around Rome. The Jewish community, of course, has their own way of preparing it though. They traditionally soak the fish for 24 hours to remove salt before frying it. The final fried filets are tender and juicy! Keep in mind that while you may find various types of fish in the Jewish Ghetto, you won’t find shellfish, as it doesn’t fall into the traditional kosher diet.

The Simple Yet Classic Jewish-Style Lamb (Abbacchio alla Giudia)

Abbacchio_Lamb-Jewish

Romans are big fans of keeping things simple, and this tradition has not been lost on the city’s Jewish population. This basic plate consists of lamb roasted with garlic, rosemary, and oil. That’s it. While some kitchens may add a few more ingredients to spice it up, this dish is flavorful enough as it is! Sometimes less really is more.

Jewish-Style Steak Anyone? (Stracotto)

While the word “stracotto” itself literally translates to “overcooked,” the dish rarely matches the description. In fact, it always seems to be made just right! This steak is cooked in tomato paste and red wine before being served with a side of oven-baked potatoes. Occasionally, this meat is also used in a bolognese-like sauce to add a ton of delicious flavor to fettuccine pasta.

A Kosher Take on Classic Roman Pastas (Carbonara alla Giudia & Amatriciana alla Giudia)

Kosher-Carbonara-Jewish

You know the Roman specialty Spaghetti alla Carbonara? The one that mixes eggs, cheese, and pork cheek into a savory pasta dish? Well, the Jewish Ghetto has its own kosher take on the classic. Instead of cheese, they use whipped egg yolks to achieve a rich, creamy texture and substitute the traditional guanciale (pork cheek) with a smoky beef. Yum!

Another kosher take on a Roman favorite is the Amatriciana alla Giudia. While the rest of the city preps their Amatriciana sauce with pig cheek, culinary experts in the Jewish Ghetto opt for salted beef with ripe tomatoes and roman pecorino cheese. Sounds scrumptious, don’t you think?

The Perfect Summer Side Dish- Concia!

Concia-Jewish-Food-Rome

Unlike many other Jewish plates, Concia is not served warm or hot. This unique snack, typically served as a starter or side dish, consists of a unique blend of zucchini. After being fried, the zucchini pieces are left to marinate in white wine, vinegar, and mint. Once the mixture cools and all of the flavor is absorbed after about a day, this refreshing plate is ready to be served. It is recommended to try this dish during summer when Roman zucchini are the freshest!

Where To Eat in the Jewish Ghetto

I bet you are wondering how and where you can try all of these delectable dishes, aren’t you?

The 7 Best Food Tours in Rome Italy

W hen you think about the food you might eat on a visit to Italy, most people think about gelato and pizza . I wasn’t any different.

What I learned from a food tour in Rome is that Italy has so much more than just pasta, pizza, and strong espresso. There is so much history behind the food, with long-standing traditions that go back for centuries.

Food isn’t just a necessity in Italy, it’s a way of life, and feeds into the culture in such a big way.

If you’re looking to take one of the top Rome food tours , then this guide is for you. Each food tour offers something different and unique, so keep reading to find one that’s right for you.

What to Expect from Rome Food Tours

Before visiting Italy, I essentially planned a two-week trip around the country to search for the best pizza north of Rome . (I did end up finding it — in Rome — but I’m still open to another round of explorations!)

On my own sort of food tour around Italy, I decided I’d go to the experts to find out a bit more about the nation’s culinary history.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and gorge yourself!

You can expect food tours to take you to not only the best places to find local, freshly-made food to sample dishes and snacks, but you can also expect to be taken to some historic sites and neighborhoods.

As you walk from place to place, you will learn about Rome’s history, both food related and not, and hear from passionate local guides about the local way of life, traditions and culture.

It’s not all about delicious food – although that is the focus.

The Best Rome Food Tours

Below you will find a list of food tours in Rome and what you can expect from each.

1. Rome Street Food Tour

This Rome Street Food Tour is a great experience for first time visitors to Rome who are looking to discover the city’s culinary secrets while exploring its vibrant streets.

The tour is led by a friendly local guide, who will take you on a journey through the city’s neighborhoods, where you’ll visit traditional food markets and sample some of the best street food in Rome.

You’ll learn about the history behind each dish and the cultural influences that have shaped Roman cuisine over the years.

The tour includes stops at family-owned restaurants, bakeries, and gelaterias, where you’ll taste a variety of authentic Italian treats, such as pizza bianca, suppli, and artisanal gelato.

This engaging and delicious tour is a must-do for anyone looking to experience the true essence of Rome. You can read all about our experience on the Street food and history walking tour of Rome .

Check prices and availability for the Rome Street Food Tour here. There are plenty of food tastings, includes a beer and wine stop, and a small group experience..

2. Taste of Testaccio Food Tour

I arranged for a walking food tour in Rome’s Testaccio neighborhood . It’s not the most touristy area of Rome but, as I soon learned, there were plenty of reasons why it’s the best area for culinary freaks like myself.

The tour started in the morning so we’d first have time to explore the local farmer’s market. In the market, we met with some of the locals who’ve had stands there for years and years.

My favorite was Carmelo, the “Tomato Poet” who sells his tomatoes each for the same price—no matter the type. We sampled several different varieties just as Carmelo would offer for other visitors.

After the tour of the food market, we had the chance to try a local Roman-style breakfast pastry—the cornetto.

It’s something most of us on the tour had never heard of before. And it was amazing! There was also tiramisu in a chocolate cup. Can’t go wrong with that.

My favourite part of the walking tour was when we stopped at the gourmet foodie shop  E. Volpetti . The shop serves gourmet cheeses (over 140) and meats, but what I most enjoyed was the balsamic tasting.

I enjoyed it so much I even brought home a balsamic vinegar .

After all those treats we spent some time getting a better history of the Testaccio area of Rome.

Rather than just stuffing our faces all afternoon, we visited one of Rome’s most famous cemeteries—it’s for non-Catholics only and is where the famous poet John Keats is buried.

Our tour guide explained some of the history of the area, which inevitably included details about the neighbourhood’s football (soccer) obsession, the mafia history and any number of your typical Italian stereotypes.

After exploring the more historical sites, it was back to the food tour.

Lunch included typical Roman pasta dishes and — of course— fine wine. By this time I was more than adequately full. But when the final stop of the tour was announced—Rome’s most popular gelato cafe—my appetite grew yet again!

In the gelateria, our tour guide explained the most important tips for knowing the difference between real and fake gelato, as unfortunately some gelato stores are tourist traps:

  • Pay attention to the color. Banana gelato should be off-white not yellow (you don’t eat the banana peel!)
  • Pay attention to the shape. Real gelato shouldn’t have large, billowy mounds flowing out of the metal tubs. More rich and tasty gelatos while be full of less air!
  • Keep an eye out for the ingredients. If you see big brown boxes behind the counter, or empty tubs, then you’re probably not eating the real thing. Italian food shops will often prominently display their ingredients so just have a quick look around before you buy!

By the end of the tour I pretty much felt like a food expert, but thankfully the good food in Rome didn’t stop there.

My guide offered up all her favorite Rome restaurants so that the rest of my stay would be as tasty as the tour!

  • We recommend this Tastes & Traditions of Rome: Testaccio Food and Market Tour with Devour Tours (one of our favorite companies) It includes 8+ food tastings and a small group of maximum 12 people. We did three of their food tours in Italy and loved everyone. Including the next tour…
