You step off the tram into a pocket of Rome where cobbles still remember the empire. Steam from a pasta pan curls into the air, a baker slides a pizza from a wood-fired oven, and a gelato cart brightens a narrow side street. The Monti Food Tour threads these moments together over roughly 2½ hours, moving at a deliberate urban pace through lanes that frame the Colosseum and Roman Forum.
