About this activity

Step off the ship and straight into real Italian life with a relaxed foodie experience just minutes from Civitavecchia’s port. Wander through backstreets and small piazzas, and see how locals actually start their day in this Mediterranean town. At the lively local market, you visit carefully chosen family‑owned stalls and taste what Italians really buy for their tables: pizza and focaccia, olives, prosciutto sliced to order, porchetta, creamy mozzarella di bufala, aged Parmigiano, and salty Pecorino Romano, naturally paired with a glass of local wine for a true Italian aperitivo feeling. To finish, you enjoy gelato at a beloved shop founded in 1949, still run by the same family using the same recipes and the same love for the craft. Close to the port, perfectly timed between breakfast and lunch, and designed as an intimate food experience rather than a standard tour, this is the perfect choice if you’ve already seen Rome and want to taste Italy where locals live.
