The experience

Someone’s waving us over from a doorway: turns out it’s Marco, our guide for the night. He’s got that easy Roman smile and keeps switching between English and Italian like it’s nothing. We start weaving through Trastevere’s cobblestone lanes just as the sky goes soft pink. There’s this smell: fried artichokes and something sweet I can’t place yet. Marco points out a bakery where his nonna used to buy bread, and suddenly we’re inside tasting suppli so hot I nearly burn my tongue (worth it).

I didn’t expect to laugh so much, especially when we tried to say “cacio e pepe” properly. Li laughed at my accent (fair enough). At one stop, the owner poured us a local red, told us about his father running the place since before he was born. The wine was earthy, almost peppery, and paired with salty pecorino in a way that made me slow down for once. We wandered past the Church of St. Francis of Assisi at Ripa. Bells rang somewhere close by but no one seemed in a hurry. The evening just kept unfolding: Piazza Trilussa was busy but not rushed, people leaning on stone steps with gelato or cigarettes.

By the time we reached Tiberine Island, I’d lost track of how many bites or glasses we’d had (five stops? Six?). My shoes picked up dust from those uneven stones. I still think about that texture underfoot when I remember Rome. Marco told us stories about Sunday family dinners. You could tell he meant every word. There was tiramisu at the last stop, creamy and cold against the warm air outside. I didn’t want it to end right then.
