The Experience

“Wait, this is really gluten-free?” I asked for the third time, and our guide Marta just grinned. We’d only just started the food & wine tour in Rome’s Jewish Ghetto and already I’d lost track of what I could or couldn’t eat—except here, everything was fair game. The first bite was this crispy artichoke (carciofo alla giudia), warm and salty, a little oily in the best way. Marta explained how her aunt still makes them every spring, and the smell reminded me of fried food stalls at home but somehow lighter. There was a breeze coming off the Tiber that evening; I remember a bit of pollen stuck to my sleeve.

I didn’t expect Campo de’ Fiori to be so alive at night—people everywhere, talking with their hands, scooters weaving through. We ducked into a tiny pizzeria where they handed me a slice straight from the oven. The crust had that chew you always miss on a gluten-free diet. Someone at another table winked when they saw my face light up. After that came a stop at an old-school winery (since 1946!), where we tried cured meats and cheese with a glass of something dry and local—I forgot the name but not the taste. Marta told us stories about Julius Caesar’s last day right by those ancient stones; it felt strange eating dinner near such history.

Piazza Navona was loud in its own way—street musicians echoing between fountains—and then suddenly quiet when we stepped into a café for espresso. I’m not usually a coffee person but it felt right to try it “like Italians do.” The last stop was gelato at Largo di Torre Argentina, from this family shop that’s been around longer than most people I know. Pistachio for me. It melted fast in my hand while cats prowled around the ruins nearby (someone said they’re famous). Walking back through Rome at night with that taste still lingering—I still think about that.
