Mercato di Testaccio

About

A covered market that Romans actually shop at, tucked into a residential grid a short walk from the tourist centre and mostly ignored by anyone not staying nearby. The trapizzino, a pocket of pizza dough stuffed with braised meat, was invented at a stall inside this exact market and is still the reason to make the trip. Go for an early lunch, most stalls wind down by mid afternoon and it closes entirely on Sundays.
