Macelleria Salumeria is a cute, local shop that says meats, cheeses, and accompanying sauces,…read morespreads, breads, wines, and other odds and ends. The married shop owners, Enriqio and Annarita, are so friendly and were both so patient with us. Annarita's English is good and fluent and I had to do some combination of gesturing and guessing with Enriqio. We ended up coming here three times for salami sandwiches. We told Annarita the rough specifications: focaccia, Milanese salami, a medium cheese and sun dried tomatoes, and they made it happen. It cost about the same as a subway sandwich but we felt we got so much more! Delicious and great service. We will be back!

This little shop will have everything you need- maybe not a lot of choices, but they will cover…read moreeverything from TP to freshly made ( delicious) sandwiches. We spent 3 weeks in this town and got to know many of the vendors and this place was, by far, such a pleasure to come and shop. The family who runs it is very accommodating, speak English ( for all the American and British travelers who come here) and carry so many authentic Italian products. We even purchased several jars of one sauce to take back to CA. One of the best parts of this place is Sunny, the young woman who works there- what a pleasant, helpful and kind person. She will make you want to come back and shop here just to have her help you. I hope she gets some credit for the good work she does there.

What a great barrio market! You see, every Italian town/city/village/borough has its own open air…read moremarket, offering from food to clothing. This event takes place twice a week. Streets are closed down, it's just for pedestrians. On Tuesdays, the stands offer mostly fruits and vegetables, fish and poultry and some flowers. Italian street markets are something to visit and preserve like a work of art. Some of the best fish from the Mediterranean are sold here, the best Italian fruits and vegetables, on Saturdays you'll find a food stands selling roast chicken or chicken skewers, nothing fried, no hamburgers or hot dogs, only local street food. These markets are a concentration of good smells, flavors, colors, produce at any price. The quality of fruit and veggies is much higher that what you buy at any supermarket. Local markets are one of the best things in Italy. They should do everything to preserve them. I'm particularly fond of this one, it's my barrio's street market:)
