Some years ago I read about a street (or area) in Rome that caters to cooks and persons interested in food in general. You could find all manner of specialized cooking utensils, spices, etc. there. Anyone know this street?

Okay, now I will be crazy until I think of this place. I know where you mean but can't think of the name. It may be on my very slow PC. I'll try to get it up tomorrow and see if I can find it. No sleep tonight

Testaccio?

I also suggest Testaccio, very big market there and the neighborhood has several specialty food shops around the market area. (Volpetti for one)

There is also a local market area very near the Vatican, I'm blanking on the name now. Fodorite Kristina posted about it in her most recent Rome trip report (October). I'm thinking it's call Andrea _____ Market.

There is also the market in Campo dei Fiore.

LCI is referring to the Nuovo Mercato Andria Doria on Via Tunisi at Via Andrea Doria.

AndrEa Doria

Could be:

Via Flaminia
Via Marmorata
Via Merulana
Via Nazionale
