Unpretentious culinary bedrock
Testaccio
Rome's true culinary heart, where cucina romana was codified around the old slaughterhouse and the covered market.
Wedged between the Tiber and Monte dei Cocci, Testaccio is the working-class district where Roman cooking was effectively codified. Built around the old slaughterhouse, it is the home of the quinto quarto (offal) tradition and the covered Nuovo Mercato, with century-old trattorie like Checchino, Perilli and Felice anchoring one end and Cicolini-school new-wave kitchens the other. For a visitor used to Istanbul's depth of neighbourhood eating, this is the city's most honest table: no monuments, no posing, just substance.
