In Cagliari, Sardinia's Quirks and Traditions Remain Center Stage | Condé Nast Traveler

"At San Benedetto, one of the largest covered markets in Europe, I wandered among some 300 booths where tastings and cooking events are frequent and stallholders holler greetings while neighbors congregate at bars for a third espresso—it felt like the social heartbeat of the city." - Catherine Fairweather

The 16 Essential Sardinia Restaurants

"Clocking in at nearly 90,000 square feet, Cagliari’s main mercato is one of the largest in Europe. The ground floor is devoted to meat, cheese, legumes, produce, bread, and other grocery items, while the lower level is completely dedicated to fish so fresh you may get splashed as one tries to wriggle out of its container. While San Benedetto does boast some imports from other areas, like tuna from Carloforte, much of the catch is hyperlocal, like eels from the nearby lagoon and dogfish destined for burrida, the city’s signature starter of pickled fish with a sauce of walnuts and fish liver." - Katie Parla

We enjoyed the walk to this market and found that the stall holders were very friendly and happy for my photography to include them and their produce.

The market moved to a different location, its still open. Prices are hit and miss, depending on the stall, produce is very fresh though. Everything seems to be local

The building is closed so there’s some algeco instead. Not the best experience to stroll but very good food

Fresh bread, fruits, vegetables, meat and great pastries, nice local market. If you want to buy bread here go early, most is sold out at 11.00 in the morning. Watch out where you buy meat because they also sell Rabbit and horsemeat.

Amazing market! If you are in Cagliari you must visit it. You will find all local products there and every single person is kind and friendly. Currently the market is under renovation but they've shifted the market to Piazza Amedeo Nazzari until the market is renovated.

Take a stroll for sure. Lots of cool very fresh and local food of all kinds. Wish I had access to a market like this daily. Bus lines right outside. Some neat neighborhood streets near it to walk through as well.
