Right in the heart of Trastevere, San Cosimato Market is an authentic slice of Roman culinary culture, beloved by locals and a far cry from the larger, more tourist-focused markets like Campo De' Fiori. The market gets its name from the square where it takes place, and is very much a neighbourhood staple that serves the local community. Largely a food market, savvy shoppers can find fresh fruits and vegetables from local and regional producers, high-quality produce at reasonable prices and seasonal specialities that change throughout the year
San Cosimato offers an authentic Roman market atmosphere where you'll hear locals chatting with vendors they've known for years. The vendors are typically knowledgeable about their products and can offer cooking suggestions. As it is smaller and more intimate than markets like Testaccio or Trionfale, it feels like a true neighbourhood gathering place. The market typically operates in the morning hours from Monday to Saturday, wrapping up by early afternoon, which is standard for Roman food markets. It's a lovely place to experience local Roman life while picking up fresh ingredients, and since it's in Trastevere, you can easily combine a market visit with exploring one of Rome's prettiest districts.
