Legendary sandwich counter inside Testaccio Market

Address Mercato di Testaccio, Box 15, Via Beniamino Franklin 12, 00153 Rome
Opening Hours Mon–Sat 08:00–15:00; closed Sun

The most celebrated sandwich counter in Rome, inside the Testaccio Market. Sergio Esposito's stall — "bite and go" — serves panini stuffed with slow-braised Roman fillings: brisket with chicory, veal with artichoke, kidney with onion, pajata for the adventurous. Everything under €7. Arrives at the market when it opens; the best cuts sell out by early afternoon. A queue forms quickly but moves fast. The quintessential Testaccio lunch.
