There was a type of radicchio I'd never seen before. And so many olives! But it's also challenging because you are limited in what and how much you can. It unless you are staying at a VRBO. Same with all of the olive oils, aged balsamic vinegars, pesto, jarred tomatoes, olives, regional pastas, meats and cheeses. OMG, I wanted it all! Since I love to cook and mostly cook Italian, it was pure torture! I did buy Parmigiana Reggiano aged 60 months because the taste and price was too good to pass up. But I didn't have room in my suitcase - weight wise - to buy the olive oil, aged balsamic and other food items I wanted. They had the typical tourist souvenirs like scarves, aprons, ceramic bowls, and a wonderful assortment of olive wood charcuterie boards and serving utensils. I collect them but didn't buy any because the prices were the same or higher than what I find at Trader Joe's or Marshall's! And again, too heavy to lug back to the states especially if they aren't unique or a fabulous price. There was even a stall selling a vegetable spiralizer like you see on late night tv commercials. He was demonstrating the plastic gadget and crowds were lined up watching. Cracked me up! Did you pick up any treasures while in a Rome? Yes, a plastic veggie spiralizer! Prices of many items were the same or higher than the shops. For example, a tiny bottle of 20 year old aged balsamic was $22 but $18 in a shop so know your prices and definitely try to barter. Mercato Campo de Fiori is located in a bustling area of the city so after shopping the market, you can stop in other shops and boutiques on all of the side streets. There are plenty of leather, clothing, jewelry, and stores selling ceramics and food products plus cafes and restaurants in abundance.

Italian streets intertwine and loop. As usual, I walked in circles and wound up lost. Well, Mercato di Campana Amica del Circo Massimo turned out to be the truth and Bocca della Verita became the second point of interest. Fresh cheese, pastries, jams, cookies, prosciutto, you name it. They got it. I bought a porchetta sandwich for lunch. The real deal smacked in between two slices of artisanal bread. Layered with fragrant rosemary and other herbs and an abundance of crackly skin, it was as good as good gets. This is a great market to pick up fresh meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Each vendor is friendly and extremely proud of their product. I'd recommend buying presents for back home here but truthfully, you'd end up eating the goodies in your hotel bed. This market is only open twice a week (Saturday and Sunday) from 9 - 4 PM. ***** Alcuni dei migliori pasti si potrà mai mangiare sarà da un mercato agricolo. Mi sono imbattuto su Mercato di Campagna Amica del Circo Massimo, mentre cerca di Bocca della Verità alias la bocca della verità. Italiano strade si intrecciano e loop. Come al solito, ho camminato in cerchio e liquidazione perso. Beh, Mercato di Campana Amica del Circo Massimo si è rivelata la verità e Bocca della Verità è diventato il secondo punto di interesse. Formaggi freschi, dolci, marmellate, biscotti, prosciutto, è il nome. L'hanno preso. Ho comprato un panino porchetta per il pranzo. Il vero affare sapeva tra due fette di pane artigianale. Strati con rosmarino e altre erbe profumate e l'abbondanza di pelle gracchiante, era buono come buono diventa. Questo è un grande mercato per raccogliere carni fresche, formaggi e verdure. Ogni fornitore è cordiale ed estremamente orgogliosi del loro prodotto. Io consiglierei di comprare regali per tornare a casa qui, ma sinceramente, ci si finisce per mangiare le leccornie nel tuo letto hotel. Questo mercato è aperto solo due volte a settimana (Sabato e Domenica) 9-4 PM.

Also tried classic tripe sandwich from Mardi and Vai. Generous size sandwich on crispy bread and saucy bits of tripe. Was ok for me but apparently really good if you enjoy the taste of tripe. Otherwise, it's a nice open air market with lots of authentic food, fresh produce, clothes, etc. a fun place to walk around that's a bit away from the historical city center

You can find a lot of great items that may be 3 to 4x more expensive at the airport or other tourist trap spots. They also have a nice selection of food you can heat up in a small kitchenette if you're staying at the airbnb. In terms of location, we stayed at the Hotel Villafranca, which was within walking distance to this Conad, as well as very close to the Roma termini.

This can be very difficult to do when traveling in any touristy city, and especially in Rome. I passed this restaurant/farmers market earlier in the day and noticed there were no signs/menus in English. There was nobody hustling me to come in and sit down. There was only one woman, who I believe is the owner, that speaks limited English but was very kind. I thought eureka, this is the place! Finally, after having tried dozens of restaurants throughout Italy, I found my favorite and most authentic Italian food (my limited knowledge leads me to believe it is native to this region). I came in for €10 Aperitivo around 17:30. The owner gave me a delectable plate of eggplant lasagna, sautéed greens and grilled vegetables, with a bread puff filled with vegetable pieces similar to the consistency of a hush puppy. I was floored. If you're looking to get a taste of local Italian cuisine while in Rome, this is the place. Could not have been more satisfied after trying Carbonara, Gnocchi, and pizza dishes cooked by foreigners and being subsequently begged to leave a tip which is not customary in Italian culture cuisine. I've said what I needed to say. Enjoy!
