Campagna Amica Market

Rome's Best Street Food Markets

"Behind the Circus Maximus, this weekend-only farmers’ market connects consumers directly with producers from 60 Lazio companies, selling fresh, zero-kilometer fruit and vegetables, preserves, cold cuts, herbs, and even potted plants—some bearing the Campagna Amica seal marking varieties saved from extinction. Eating spills into the courtyard, where food trucks run by “cooks from the land” dish up fried fish, vegetable soups, porchetta panini, and barbecued meats, alongside workshops, show cooking, tastings, and displays of typical foods." - The MICHELIN Guide

The 26 Best Things to Do in Rome

"Despite being Rome's largest farmers market, the Mercato di Campagna Amica remains down to earth and not at all corporate—as demonstrated by the fact it's only open on weekends. The stalls adhere to the "0 km" philosophy, shorthand for products made or grown within 100 kilometers from the point of sale; and vendors come mostly from Lazio, Rome's home region. It's a crash course in the local leafy greens, amusing in their number and variety, especially to visitors from northern climates. Both the olives and the olive oil you'll find here are worth a splurge, but one of the market's best uses is as a source of super-fresh (and super-cheap) picnic material. Grab some bread, a little fresh pecorino, a few slices of prosciutto, some fruit, and make yourself a lunch." - Katie Parla, Maresa Manara

The Best Food Markets in Rome

"A weekend-only, outdoor "0 KM" farmers market where all vendors sell goods produced within about 100 kilometers, featuring small-scale farmers and producers from the surrounding Lazio region who are happy to talk about their products. Offerings vary seasonally but often include organic honey, fresh mozzarella, local wine and fragrant olive oil — bring shopping bags to take home regional specialties." - Regan Stephens

"Circus Maximus Campagna Amica market Every Saturday and Sunday on Via S. Teodoro, tucked just off Circus Maximus, Rome 's best farmer's market takes place. It's run by Campagna Amica, an Italy-wide organization that promotes local, sustainable agriculture—so all of the products sold here, from jam to olive oil, bread to cheese, beer to wine, come from the Lazio region only, and are sold directly by the producers themselves. Tastings are a-plenty and the producers are more than happy to chitchat about their foodstuffs. If you come around lunchtime, you can buy a cheap lunch—maybe even including porchetta sliced right off the pig, like here—to eat on the picnic tables outside."
