10 Shopping in Rome That You Shouldn't Miss

November 25, 2021 Jana Sager

Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

Mercato Trionfale

Reviewed By MarkSlosberg - Seattle, United States

This place is a “must-walkthrough and buy things” if you are anywhere nearby. Maybe lunch after a Vatican visit or just a visit to Prati neighborhood. Not a sit down mind you, but a stroll through to buy and eat on the spot or take home for an amazing Roman lunch or dinner. It can be prepared food ready to eat like prosciutto, salami, olives, wine by the litre or jug, any kind of cheese (soft or hard) and porchetta or the most amazing fresh fruit, vegetables, seafood and meat for cooking up in your AirBnB kitchen. Just know your booth color coding with green being the “direct from farm” vendors, blue is seafood, Red is meat and orange for retail from distributors. And if you are looking for underwear or shoes, they have booths for that too????.

Great place to visit when open. So much local food and free samples. Do youself a favour and buy a pork roll on a fresh roll for 3.50 Euro and you will not regret it.

The shop of Marmoraro

Reviewed By Amanda032 - Thames Ditton, United Kingdom

Found the shop fairly easily, down a side street in a nice part of town. I wanted an individual souvenir and the very friendly owner made us a small marble sign saying “the house of the dogs” in Italian within the hour for 15 euro and we are very pleased with it!

Nuovo Mercato di Testaccio

Reviewed By pakabay - Adelaide, Australia

This is the "new" market at Testaccio, and it has a little bit of everything. Pasta, Pizza and roasted meats along with wine & cheese to enjoy onsite, all from fantastic stands run by passionate owners. Side by side with fresh produce including meats, seafood, fruits, vegetable & flowers. There will be something for everyone. And being Rome, there is, of course, an archaeological dig underway right in the middle of the market. This is great as there is an open section of the market to see what is going on. Easy walk from Piramide Metro station.

I stopped in here for a photography exhibition I had been excited to see. There was also a nice modern art exhibit happening at the same time and some of the art looked fairly interesting. The building itself is very nice inside and the staff and ticketing system worked well to insure social distancing. The bathrooms were spotless! Staff were all friendly and generally stayed out of the way and allowed people to just walk around and enjoy the exhibition. Well air conditioned!! This is important in Rome in July.
