Super fair pricing too; €2.70 for a cappuccino and pastry/cornetto, and €2.90 for a cappuccino and maritozzo.

If you're ever in Rome and looking for a great edible souvenir--or something special to bring home…read moreto friends and family--Antica Caciara in Trastevere is a must! Over a few days, the name Antica Caciara kept popping up. Then I picked up a Louis Vuitton Rome City Guide in our hotel lobby, flipped through it, and there it was again. At that point, it had to be fate... or really good marketing. I'm choosing to believe it was fate! The moment you walk in, you're hit with the most amazing aromas of cheese and cured meats. They have a wonderful selection of cheeses, meats, cookies, oils, balsamic vinegars, and all kinds of Italian goodies. But what really made our visit special were Roberto and Anna. Their family has owned and operated the shop since 1900, and they welcomed us with such genuine warmth. Roberto proudly showed us a magazine photo featuring him and the shop, and you could immediately tell how much his family and their history mean to him. It was absolutely charming. Of course, we couldn't leave without bringing Italy home with us. We bought what may have been an excessive amount of 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano to share with family and friends. Anna got quite a laugh out of how much cheese we were taking home! Let's just say an extra suitcase was needed. She even gave us detailed instructions on how to wrap and store it--cheesecloth first, then parchment so the cheese can breathe. Our friends and family were thrilled to receive their little pieces of Italy, beautifully wrapped just the way Anna taught us. Places like this are what make traveling so memorable. Yes, the food was fantastic, but it was the people, the history, and the personal experience that made Antica Caciara one of our favorite little discoveries in Rome. If you're in Rome, go! And tell Roberto and Anna that Glenn and Bob sent you.

I was partial to the creme. I also picked up some jelly and a small jar of cacio e pepe which was fantastic.

Mid drinks, awful service, and uncomfortable atmosphere…read more First thing that threw me off was the table we were seated at was at sloped about 15 degrees . As we were taking a seat, the tables nearly toppled over just from a gust of wind so for the remainder of our experience I was wary of whether or not the table would topple. The drinks were a bit pricey compared to the restaurants and bars next door but what really ruined the whole experience was the awful service. Most of the employees here treated us poorly except for the guy who ushered us in. Our waitress was impatient and the lady who worked the register was rolling her eyes at us when we asked if we could pay using our American Express card. She said we can but we felt bad at this point so we switched to paying with visa because apparently it's easier for her to take our payment if we used Visa. Drinks were okay but not justifiable for the price Overall, I can understand why the place was quite empty during the time I visited. If you value service and price to taste then I'd recommend elsewhere

There was a type of radicchio I'd never seen before. And so many olives! But it's also challenging because you are limited in what and how much you can. It unless you are staying at a VRBO. Same with all of the olive oils, aged balsamic vinegars, pesto, jarred tomatoes, olives, regional pastas, meats and cheeses. OMG, I wanted it all! Since I love to cook and mostly cook Italian, it was pure torture! I did buy Parmigiana Reggiano aged 60 months because the taste and price was too good to pass up. But I didn't have room in my suitcase - weight wise - to buy the olive oil, aged balsamic and other food items I wanted. They had the typical tourist souvenirs like scarves, aprons, ceramic bowls, and a wonderful assortment of olive wood charcuterie boards and serving utensils. I collect them but didn't buy any because the prices were the same or higher than what I find at Trader Joe's or Marshall's! And again, too heavy to lug back to the states especially if they aren't unique or a fabulous price. There was even a stall selling a vegetable spiralizer like you see on late night tv commercials. He was demonstrating the plastic gadget and crowds were lined up watching. Cracked me up! Did you pick up any treasures while in a Rome? Yes, a plastic veggie spiralizer! Prices of many items were the same or higher than the shops. For example, a tiny bottle of 20 year old aged balsamic was $22 but $18 in a shop so know your prices and definitely try to barter. Mercato Campo de Fiori is located in a bustling area of the city so after shopping the market, you can stop in other shops and boutiques on all of the side streets. There are plenty of leather, clothing, jewelry, and stores selling ceramics and food products plus cafes and restaurants in abundance.

Italian streets intertwine and loop. As usual, I walked in circles and wound up lost. Well, Mercato di Campana Amica del Circo Massimo turned out to be the truth and Bocca della Verita became the second point of interest. Fresh cheese, pastries, jams, cookies, prosciutto, you name it. They got it. I bought a porchetta sandwich for lunch. The real deal smacked in between two slices of artisanal bread. Layered with fragrant rosemary and other herbs and an abundance of crackly skin, it was as good as good gets. This is a great market to pick up fresh meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Each vendor is friendly and extremely proud of their product. I'd recommend buying presents for back home here but truthfully, you'd end up eating the goodies in your hotel bed. This market is only open twice a week (Saturday and Sunday) from 9 - 4 PM. ***** Alcuni dei migliori pasti si potrà mai mangiare sarà da un mercato agricolo. Mi sono imbattuto su Mercato di Campagna Amica del Circo Massimo, mentre cerca di Bocca della Verità alias la bocca della verità. Italiano strade si intrecciano e loop. Come al solito, ho camminato in cerchio e liquidazione perso. Beh, Mercato di Campana Amica del Circo Massimo si è rivelata la verità e Bocca della Verità è diventato il secondo punto di interesse. Formaggi freschi, dolci, marmellate, biscotti, prosciutto, è il nome. L'hanno preso. Ho comprato un panino porchetta per il pranzo. Il vero affare sapeva tra due fette di pane artigianale. Strati con rosmarino e altre erbe profumate e l'abbondanza di pelle gracchiante, era buono come buono diventa. Questo è un grande mercato per raccogliere carni fresche, formaggi e verdure. Ogni fornitore è cordiale ed estremamente orgogliosi del loro prodotto. Io consiglierei di comprare regali per tornare a casa qui, ma sinceramente, ci si finisce per mangiare le leccornie nel tuo letto hotel.
