Nuovo Mercato di Testaccio
One of the best places to lose yourself in contemporary Rome is at the Nuovo Mercato di Testaccio, an open, neighborhood market with rows of produce, meat, and fish vendors, as well as small stands for fresh pasta, sandwiches, pastries, and candy. The Testaccio market is a great place to hangout for a slice of Roman life with its outdoor seating area, on-site archaeological excavation, and street art murals on the surrounding buildings.
