    Carciofi con pecorino mmmmmmm
    Cory W.

    I mean what else can I say that hasn't already been said? This was my second time in Rome as well as my second time here for a sandwich. My local friend brought me here and feeling a bit rushed to decide when faced with sooooo many delicious looking options I just pointed to one that looked interesting and man did I (and they) nail it! It tasted as though I had selected some pork stewed with zucchini flowers that they slapped onto some ridiculously good bread that I can only assume they make themselves. As if that wasn't good enough they topped it with slices of pecorino. Scrumptious...so much so that I trekked back here on my return to Rome. This time around I had the carciofi with Pecorino. Simply put this is a roman style marinated whole artichoke squashed on to the bread and topped with cheese. Slightly more delicately flavored than the first go round but equally as good. God love an artichoke. As much great food as there is to explore in Rome this will be one my regular spots here for sure. If I remember correctly the sandwiches are €5 so take a number, have your order and your money ready, grab a bunch of napkins and pop a squat in one of the chairs around the corner from the counter and prepared to be dazzled by a good ol sandwich.

    Number 1 sandwich

    This place is 5 stars for a reason. Great spot in the awesome Mercato di Testaccio. We had the number 1 which was a simple beef and broccoli mix sandwich but honestly everything on the menu looked delicious. The employees were nice, overall vibe was incredible and the super fresh food was even better. Highly recommend visiting Modi e Vai in Mercato di Testaccio!

    Boiled meat sandwich

    Great sandwich place! Definitely recommend going. We tried the boiled meat one (better than it sounds) and the vegetarian artichoke. Both were delicious! Service is fast once they call your number. Wait time for that is a little longer but we didn't wait longer than 15minutes I think. The market itself is very fun as well! Definitely worth a visit.

    I bought 2. I think the filling is great and amazing, but my one issue is the bread. Bread is a little too dry for me, even though it's meant to sop up all that gravy and juices. I personally think a toasted crunch with olive oil bread would be better and that dry chalkiness would stop.

    Not a fan of "street food" from markets or carts. My meatball sandwich was absolutely delicious. Fresh, simple food. Friendly staff.

    EAT HERE There are certain restaurants or food destinations that you have to hit when you go to a city. Mordi e Vai is one of those spots. Located at the far end of a covered market, you won't have to wait long before you're sinking your teeth into one of these delectable sandwiches. somebody send me a sandwich!!! What did we order? Veal, Broccoli rabe, salt slow cooked, tender veal sprinkled with the perfect hit of salt. This is their #1 l'allesso alla picchiapò stewed pieces of meat with a hint of spice, literal translation a little beat up... one of the most amazing sandwiches carciofi and parmesean the artichoke is roasted and is fork tender, he literally smashes the artichoke into the bread. T's favorite sandwich

    Italian sausage/Broccoli.

    For the price of 4 euros the Panini/Sandwich was pretty good! Didn't blow me away but it was a good meal while stopping by the market.

    Beyond that counter is where the magic little popletti are created...

    Within the Mercato Testaccio, you will find Mordi e vai. I'm sure they have other good stuff here too, but, polpette, polpette, polpette! Get their polpette! You're welcome!

    The BEST sandwich (panini) I have ever had! And so cheap. So delicious. The entire vendors market it amazing, but you must make a stop here. Will be missing this from the States!

    Great place for a sandwich. P and I made the trek over here and had a great time at the market. We both had the beef on bread with gravy. I had greens on mine as well. We also loaded up on cherries and cookies from other vendors in the market. Not touristy. I recommend visiting if you want to escape tourist rome.

    Easily the best food we had in Rome. We made the trek here twice for lunch in our 10 day stay.

    Masto in Rome delivers an unforgettable dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming,…read moreand the staff truly elevate the meal by offering samples throughout the evening and creating a friendly, lively mood. The food was AMAZING. My family and I started with the prosciutto and buffalo goat cheese served with oil and pepper, which was my favorite part of the entire meal. We also ordered a pretty good vegetable lasagna, a chicken dish with a delicious sauce, and two gnocchi dishes, including a carbonara-style one. Everything came out quickly, and there were unique items displayed around the restaurant that you could try and buy, which made the experience even more fun. We were so full from the appetizer that we only ate about half of the gnocchi. The owner noticed and kindly refunded those dishes, saying we should not pay for something we barely touched. That level of thoughtfulness is rare and left a huge impression on us. Overall, Masto is an amazing restaurant with fantastic food, quick service, and some of the kindest staff you will ever meet. I would DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.

    After shopping at Porto Portese, we walked to this Testaccio neighborhood to taste their blueberry…read morerisotto among other items. We arrived as soon as they opened, and the Chef was very friendly and offered some samples of cheese including his burrata, which was incredible! Everything we sampled was delicious! We felt so special because we were the only ones there when it opened and it felt like we had a personal chef! The blueberry risotto and pasta were worth the walk over here! Loved this place! The ambiance was incredible!
