Why Testaccio Market matters
Testaccio is the traditional working-class district known for classic Roman offal dishes and food. The covered market is the place to try supplì, sandwiches and fresh produce alongside locals. It feels very different from the tourist centre, and it is a delicious lunch stop.
Talking points
- Testaccio is known as a traditional Roman foodie district.
- Try supplì (fried rice balls) and local sandwiches.
