Rome Breakfast Experience: Morning Bites by the Colosseum

About

Begin your morning in Monti, one of Rome’s most vibrant and character-filled neighborhoods, just a short stroll from the Colosseum. Known for its blend of history and local charm, this is where your experience starts—on a rooftop overlooking Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the city’s most important basilicas. Enjoy a classic Italian breakfast while learning the difference between a cornetto and a croissant.

Then, follow your guide through Monti’s lively streets, sampling traditional Roman street food like a rosetta sandwich filled with savory porchetta. Continue with a stop at a local deli for a tasting of cheeses and cured meats, showcasing simple yet high-quality ingredients that define Roman cuisine.

End on a sweet note with homemade tiramisù, before wrapping up near the iconic Colosseum.
