(Via Galvani; 6am-3pm Mon-Sat; Via Marmorata)
Even if you don't need to buy anything, a trip to Testaccio's daily food market is fun. Oc-
cupying a new, purpose-built site, it hums with activity as locals go about their daily shop-
ping, picking and prodding the piles of brightly coloured produce and cheerfully shouting
at all and sundry.
Self-Catering
For deli supplies and wine, shop at
alimentari,
which generally open 7am to 1.30pm and
5pm to 8pm daily except Thursday afternoon and Sunday (during the summer months
they will often close on Saturday afternoon instead of Thursday). Rome's fresh-produce
markets are also a good option. There are plenty of small supermarkets dotted around
town.
