The Rome IndexFood markets in Rome
Where Romans actually shop — the city's best produce and food markets.
Mercato Testaccio
Rome's best covered market for food, with a mix of fresh produce stalls and counter-service spots serving some of the city's cheapest and best lunches — supplì, fried things, and a few proper sit-down spots inside.
Nuovo Mercato Esquilino
The most diverse market in the city, reflecting the Esquilino neighbourhood's international character — a good spot to find ingredients from across Asia, Africa and the Middle East alongside Italian staples.
Campo de' Fiori
More touristy than the other two, but still worth a visit on a weekday morning for the atmosphere and flower stalls — prices are noticeably higher than Testaccio.
