We think that an Italian holiday should be your occasion to reconnect with true flavours. So say goodbye to frozen foods and chemical stuff and step into a world where food is fresh, genuine and local like it used to be. Take a short walk from Trastevere Bed and Breakfast and you will end up right into the heart of Trastevere, Piazza San Cosimato. Here you will find one of the most beloved open-air markets of Rome. Monday to Saturday, both locals and visitors come here from the early morning to pick the best grocery, meat, fish and flowers. Fruits and vegetables are usually grown locally by the very people who will sell it to you. This means the taste is rich, the quality is great and unaltered. Plus, it has a low carbon footprint!
If you are a carnivore, go for some gorgeous cuts of tasty meat. If you prefer fish, you will find it a stall for it, too: fresh fish arrives here every day. So fresh that you will normally see one or two seagulls patiently waiting on a nearby wall to get their “share”. Never mind them: they have their own deal with the stall owner. The San Cosimato market is not huge, and it’s probably less frantic than the one in Campo dei Fiori. The square has been recently renovated, thus giving the market too a tidier look. Remember that the market closes after lunch, so you’d better set your alarm if you want to get the best stuff!
