Testacio - where to eat, what to see?
Hello, we are spending Easter in Rome, the last time we spent a very little time in Testacio, we hadn't a clue - we just wqndered around aimlessly.
Please, point us to good placea to eat there and what to see? Thanks in advance |
Last time I was in Rome I stayed in Testaccio. Not a lot to "see" as it's primarily a residential neighborhood.
We went to Pizzeria Remo a Testaccio early in our stay & just kept going back. Food was great, it's a popular, happy place & they treated us well. If you like to shop or browse the Nuovo Mercato Testaccio is fun - food, leather, vintage clothing I recall & small places to pick up a variety of things to eat at tables outside on the southeast side. |
Thanks Mme Perdu, long time no speak!
I'll have a look at your recommendation, sounds as if you loved it. It's meant to be a Jewish area - I wonder where one can find Jewish food. |
On our first visit to Rome, we went on an Eating Italy food tour in Testaccio and then to the museum, Centrale Montemartini. It’s rather an interesting place: a decommissioned power plant turned sculpture museum. My engineering husband loved it. And because it’s outside of the tourist center, it was blissfully uncrowded.

Testaccio
Spelt it wrong

Ahh, now I remember - we ate good Jewish food in the Jewish Quarter/ Ghetto - very central, old historic area

Go to Volpetti's on Via Marmorata to buy cheese to bring home. 😁
They will vacuum-pack it for you. There's a great place where I've had lunch several times, can't remember the name right now. I will look it up. |
The restaurant I referred to is Bucatina Taverno Testaccio on Via Lucca di Robbia. It's not too far from Volpetti's. Perilli's is also down the street from Volpetti's. I haven't been there but have read good things about it.
