Testaccio market, Rome

66b Via Aldo Manuzio, Roma, Lazio

Description

The Testaccio Market offers an array of fruits and vegetables, grocery, meat, fish, street food, and fashion accessories stalls housed in a covered building designed by architect Marco Rietti with a contemporary minimalistic look. The traditional market was transferred there from Piazza Testaccio in 2012. The new market even has an archaeological area.

Access & Transport

The market is at the southern end of the Testaccio neighbourhood, between via Aldo Manuzio and via Galvani. Buses 83, 718, 719 and 775 stop at Galvani/Zabaglia. The Tram stop Marmorata/Galvani (8) is 600m away and the metro station Piramide (MEB, MEB1) is 1km away.

Instructions & Recommendations

Note that the market is closed on Sundays.

Meta review

The "new" market has become one of the best known in Rome and is patronized by residents and tourists alike who enjoy the well-presented and colourful food in a casual atmosphere. However, it is difficult to weed out fake reviews, so it is unclear how overpriced the place is since there are many opposing comments in that respect. Reading between the lines it seems to be priced for tourists...

Environmental & Social

No environmental / sourcing data The small producers' aspect is a positive from a social perspective, but the pricing is a negative community-wise.

Conclusion

A nice mid-size market with some quality products and a central area to eat that makes for a good lunch place when visiting the Testaccio neighbourhood. It is a little on the expensive side and probably not worth a long detour though.
