It was founded in the early twentieth century by Angelo Feroci (Fierce in translation). The store no doubt has been renovated since then. It's covered in marble all over, featuring marble on marble counter stands and benches with bull carvings. The floor mosaic is done in white Carrara marble tiles with black diamonds. A large and ferocious looking black statue of a bull, attached high on the side wall, overlooks your meat selection. Angelo Feroci was recognized for his butchering achievements back in a day, he received a gold medal at the international exhibition in London in 1924, as well as at the international fair of Rome, 'For fresh meat of fine quality'.

They recently moved to smart new premises overlooking the renovated Piazza Testaccio. While the old butcher's, further down Via Giovanni Battista Bodoni was a piece of local history, the new shop is very clean and appealing. A long glass counter contains meat of all varieties, kept at an appropriate temperature. Apart from the choice cuts of beef, veal, chicken, turkey, rabbit etc., there are also 'ready meals' prepared by Alfredo, from meatballs to saltimbocca. Other fridges contain excellent quality salamis and hams from Tuscany, salad and vegetables, and there's even a wine selection so you can literally buy goods for an entire dinner party. Highly recommended overall - signing off, a happy customer who has been served by the Boattini family for 12 years.

Absolutely outstanding butcher…read more Provides the meat for many of the superlative restaurants in the neighborhood. Also sells to the public ... and OMG do they sell good stuff. I have done two very different purchases from them. The first was a kilo of diced calves liver. The second was four large farmer's chicken leg-quarters. The liver should have been simply sauteed to capture its purest flavor. I braised it in Morellino di Scansano, a fruit forward Coastal Tuscan red. Onions went along for the braising ride. The liver flavor was powerful for a full week and the wine was the perfect pairing. American supermarket liver would not have worked here. The farmer's chicken legs made a stock with leeks, celery and a light Sardinian Vermentino wine with a green apple main taste and a bitter finish. This was not such a great pairing. Into the stock went the chicken meat, prepared fava beans and a half kilo of fresh ricotta cheese. The final product was to die for. The chicken meat itself nobly sacrificed itself for the stock. The stock was one of the greatest chicken soups I have ever made in my life. The ricotta and the beans made everything creamy and suave. It was the finest dish I have cooked for myself in a year. * * * Are the meat and chicken at Macelleria Rubei good? I would say they are absolutely, positively OUTSTANDING.

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.

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.
