Civitavecchia Street Food (TTS Food)

Street food arrives on the Civitavecchia seafront

The Civitavecchia Street Food festival, a stop on the TTS Food tour, turns Viale Giuseppe Garibaldi into a grand gastronomic village overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. In the heart of Lazio's primary port city, within the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, the seafront becomes an elegant open-air restaurant for four nights, where residents, tourists, and travelers heading to the ferries can stroll amidst aromas, lights, and music. The event is designed for all ages, with large areas equipped with tables and seating to enjoy dishes comfortably by the sea.

Twenty Street Chefs and global cuisines

The format brings a hand-picked brigade of twenty Street Chefs to the promenade with their food trucks and kitchen stands, creating a spectacle of taste and creativity that blends the best of Italian tradition with international cuisines:

• Regional Italy: Sicilian arancine and cannoli, Apulian bombette and panzerotti, Le Marche's olive all'ascolana, Abruzzese arrosticini, and premium meat sandwiches like Chianina and Scottona;
• Global Flavors: Mexican tacos and burritos, Greek gyros, American barbecue, Argentine empanadas, and Iberian pork specialties;
• Seafood: fried fish, tuna, octopus, and anchovies, perfectly in tune with the seaside setting;
• Fresh Desserts: tiramisu, crêpes, cannoli, cassatine, churros, and freshly prepared granitas;
• Options for everyone: vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices to meet every dietary need.

Beers, cocktails, and an atmosphere under the stars

Accompanying the dishes are raw craft beer from Landshuter Brauhaus and a cocktail bar by Drink Lab, in collaboration with Campari Group, featuring Spritz and signature long drinks. The promenade is adorned with light displays and music, creating a relaxed and convivial atmosphere that lasts until late at night. Special attention is paid to sustainability, with water served in recyclable Tetra Pak cartons to reduce plastic use.

A free-entry event for the whole family

Civitavecchia Street Food offers free admission: you only pay for what you choose to eat. The evenings run from late afternoon into the early night, the ideal time for a walk along the seafront, an aperitif at sunset, and an informal dinner in the open air. The food truck festival format has won over a loyal audience that looks forward to the return of the TTS Food tour to the city every year.

Civitavecchia, the gateway to Lazio by the sea

Overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and dominated by Forte Michelangelo, Civitavecchia is the most important port in Lazio and one of the main gateways to Rome from the sea. Its promenade, the heart of city life, provides the perfect backdrop for a gastronomic event that combines tradition, conviviality, and international flair. Civitavecchia Street Food is a wonderful opportunity to discover the city in a festive mood, amidst the scent of the sea and the flavors of the best street food.
