Campo de’ Fiori: Rome ‘s Historic Food Market
This historic Roman square has hosted open-air market since the 15th century, and today it still thrives with colours, energy and irresistible smells.
As you walk through the stalls, you’ll meet real Roman vendors who proudly display their seasonal goods: glistening tomatoes, fragrant basil, creamy Pecorino Romano, and plump artichokes when in season.
But this isn’t just window shopping. You’ll chat with your guide- a professional chef who knows how to navigate this bustling market with ease- and learn how to pick the freshest ingredients for your class. You’ll touch, taste, and smell your way through Roman gastronomy from the very first moment.
This immersive part of the experience helps you understand Roman cuisine from the ground up- starting with where and how Roman shop every day.
Selecting Seasonal Ingredients Like a Local
One of the joys of Italian cuisine is its deep connection to the seasons. At the market, you’ll quickly notice that Romans don’t just shop-they follow the rhythm of nature.
During your Rome gastronomic tour, you’ll discover what makes each season special in the Eternal City. Summer brings juicy peaches, heirloom tomatoes, and fresh zucchini blossoms. Autumn? Think about porcini mushrooms, truffles, and sweet grapes perfect for dessert. In winter, rich leafy greens and artichokes rule the stands.
You’ll learn how to build a meal around what’s fresh and available – just like Italian nonnas have done for generations. This isn’t just a cooking class. It’s an education in Roman lifestyle and culinary philosophy.
When you finally carry your basket of handpicked ingredients back to the kitchen, you’ll already feel more connected to the culture. And you haven’t even started cooking yet.
Traditional Roman Recipes You’ll Master
After the market, you’ll step into the location of your cooking class, filled with warmth, history and the smell of something delicious waiting to happen. Here, your hands-on cooking class in Rome begins.
