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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
