The only other things open were produce stands Recommend going after 1030a when the majority of the food places open. We tried 2 different types of Suppli from Food Box 66 which are deep fried rice balls with mozzarella and tomato sauce. The perfect snack to walk around on a cold day. He took cash only. 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

Mercado di Testaccio (the Testaccio Market) is a 'must visit" when in Rome. Covering multiple city…read moreblocks, the Market has restaurants, coffee bars, and many stalls offering meats, produce, groceries baked goods, clothing, footwear, household items, and more. It is laid out in a grid pattern, which helps if you get lost. I recommend taking your time, stroll around, and explore the entire Market. It is impressive, and vendors are friendly. Our first visit to the Market was with my Rome-based brother-in-law on a warm June day. The Market is open on all four sides. It is covered and protected from sun and rain. Quite comfortable inside.

Probably my worst experience in Rome. I arrived with high hopes as the reviews were great. I was…read moregreeted with every booth basically selling the same cheap fake handbags and crap like that. The salesman were all very pushy and grabbed my arm many times to pull me over to there stall and wouldn't let me go until I bought something which I felt forced to do for my safety. I would never come back again and I wasted 20 euros on the cab ride there. If you want to spend your money on junk that breaks within the first week then this would be a great place for you.

A fantastic market near our apartment on Via Pannonia right outside of the wall in Roma. if you…read moreare staying in this area its the first thing to do once you get there. Fresh vegatables, fruits, and meats. Fresh milk and yogurt. Watch the prices though as you can pay too much at some of the little shops. My wife also bought a very nice blouse that was reasonably priced. The shopkeepers were all very friendly and willing to help. Our Italian speaking skills were rudimentary at best but that was not a problem Hope to come back here someday.

November 10, 2024 9:40AM…read more Treasure hunting/thrifting is one of my favorite past time and doing this in a different country is something I enjoy doing. Yes, Porta Portese has more of a flea market vibes but it is so huge that you are bound to find something neat if you're patient enough. I browsed through some vintage stands and didn't find anything to bring back... but was able to find a nice pair of new baggy jeans on the other side of the market toward the residential area. On our way back we were able to find some local artwork in post card size to bring back for friends and family. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and into treasure hunting. Highly recommend to come check them out on the weekends if you're in Rome.

Visited on a Saturday and found a great deal on a luggage that I needed for gifts to take back…read morehome. I bought a brand new 27" luggage with wheels; this luggage was selling for $160 in the heart of Rome. The seller tried to sell it to me for $60 then I countered with $35 and he said $40, which I accepted. There are a lot of retro items that I would've loved to buy, but it would've been too heavy to bring back to the U.S. We ended up buying a Beatles vinyl record, fans (4 for $1), and other small items for gifts. This place has everything and it felt like we walked for miles one way only! Don't be afraid to bargain, they'll work with you!
