Cups

San Giovanni & Testaccio


This gourmet market stall, part of celebrity chef Cristina Bowerman's ever-growing Roman empire, takes its name from the carton cups used to serve soups and freshly prepared staples such as meatballs in tomato sauce. If that doesn't appeal, slide along to Romeo, another Bowerman outfit, next door, for sliced pizza and cured meat platters.
