    Mid drinks, awful service, and uncomfortable atmosphere…read more First thing that threw me off was the table we were seated at was at sloped about 15 degrees . As we were taking a seat, the tables nearly toppled over just from a gust of wind so for the remainder of our experience I was wary of whether or not the table would topple. The drinks were a bit pricey compared to the restaurants and bars next door but what really ruined the whole experience was the awful service. Most of the employees here treated us poorly except for the guy who ushered us in. Our waitress was impatient and the lady who worked the register was rolling her eyes at us when we asked if we could pay using our American Express card. She said we can but we felt bad at this point so we switched to paying with visa because apparently it's easier for her to take our payment if we used Visa. Drinks were okay but not justifiable for the price Overall, I can understand why the place was quite empty during the time I visited. If you value service and price to taste then I'd recommend elsewhere

    This was the first place we randomly picked after settling in today. Staff was very friendly and…read moreset us up right. The outside seating was comfortable with the fans they had setup. Being my first time in Rome I immediately tried the lasagne and a glass of house red wine. Was not disappointed at all. Kids loved the Prosciutto pizza and we all shared some carbonara con speck, rosemary focaccia, and a charcuterie board. All of which were delicious. Would stop here again for a quick lunch.

    Outdoor markets are my thing so whenever traveling abroad, I seek them out. It's so much fun to see…read morethe various types of fresh fruit and veggies available, many unique varieties. 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.

    I was waiting for my laundry to finish up and decided to walk around this place (just wasting…read moretime). Great place to get fresh fruit/veggies, spices and great wines. There are also several vendors that make fresh squeezed juices that I highly recommend. This market is open everyday and it is always busy. There are restaurants surrounding this market as well, so from my perspective, it's an all day event.
