Among the ancient streets of Rome, you have no trouble finding plenty of great restaurants, cheap or starred, hospitable bars for quick snacks, and comfortable and original pubs. However, what makes the Eternal City particularly welcoming to travelers is the quality of street food it offers, from international dishes to local specialties.<\/p>\n

Trapizzino<\/h2>\n

The name comes from pizzaiolo Stefano Callegari’s invention: a corner of white pizza<\/strong>, shaped like a sandwich, filled generously with a traditional Roman dish. The trapizzini can be with meatballs in sauce, chicken cacciatore or eggplant parmigiana, always priced at \u20ac5 each. The most famous venues are those in Trastevere, Ponte Milvio, and Testaccio. The setting is informal and seating is limited; therefore, reservations must be made or eating on the street, as it should be.<\/p>\n

Er Buchetto<\/h2>\n

Street food establishments in Rome cannot do without offering the most traditional quick dish: the crispy porchetta sandwich. Er Buchetto, on Via del Viminale in Esquilino, in close proximity to the Opera House, offers stuffed sandwiches or white focaccia with Ariccia’s<\/strong> famous porchetta<\/strong> with an average receipt always under \u20ac10. This is a family business and the limited seating requires reservations. It is open every day except Saturday afternoon and Sunday.<\/p>\n

Bite and Go<\/h2>\n

The traditional flavors of Roman cuisine incorporated into a sandwich-from one with boiled rump to one with tripe-form the basis of Sergio Esposito’s offerings, which you can find at his stall at the<\/strong> Testaccio Municipal Market<\/strong>. Crispy bread ciabattas are dipped in broth, stuffed with meat and vegetables and served over the counter. Reservations are not required here: a bit of a line and you’ll walk away with a juicy sandwich in your hands spending less than \u20ac5.<\/p>\n

Bench 39<\/h2>\n

Banco 39 is located in the Pinciano covered market on Viale Antonelli in the Parioli district. It interprets street food in a vintage version<\/strong>.

As in all street food markets in Rome, opening hours are long: they run from 7 a.m. to midnight, every day of the week. The restaurant accepts reservations and offers quick solutions at low prices: from 15\u20ac of sliced meats boards down.<\/p>\n

Dar Filettaro in Santa Barbara<\/h2>\n

In Largo dei Librari, not far from Campo de’ Fiori, one of the city’s most picturesque squares, you can enjoy the famous fried cod fillets<\/strong>. In addition to this quintessential street food, the small trattoria offers another local delicacy: garlic and anchovy puntarelle. It is open daily -except Sundays- from 5:30 pm to 11:10 pm. The price of its specialties, around \u20ac6, are average. Given the size of the venue and its celebrity, the wait can be a bit long.<\/p>\n

Food Box<\/h2>\n

The suppl\u00ec, the traditional tomato-flavored rice croquette with stringy mozzarella fiordilatte cheese inside, is perhaps Rome’s most beloved street food. Food Box shows up with a stall at the Testaccio Market on Franklin Street, under a modern glass roof and above an archaeological site, as is often the case in Rome. The offerings are not limited to suppl\u00ec<\/strong> with different fillings. There are also artichokes a la giud\u00eda and stuffed squash blossoms, all always reasonably priced under 10\u20ac. It is open every day except Sunday.<\/p>\n
