Itinerary
Walking through the Portico d’Ottavia feels like stepping into a quiet corner of ancient Rome. Tucked inside the historic Jewish Ghetto, the towering marble columns and weathered stone arch tell stories that stretch back over two thousand years. As you wander beneath the ruins, you can almost hear the echoes of Roman markets and temples that once stood here.
Visiting Pasticceria Boccione is like discovering a sweet secret in the heart of Rome’s Jewish Ghetto. The small, unpretentious storefront — with no fancy sign — hides one of the city’s most beloved traditional bakeries. Inside, the scent of freshly baked pastries fills the air, and everything is displayed simply, just as it has been for generations.
