Mercato Centrale

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


A gourmet oasis for hungry travellers at Stazione Termini, this food hall with its vaulted 1930s ceiling hosts stalls selling good-quality fast food and fresh produce. Consider purchasing a panino filled with artisanal cheese from Beppe Giovali; a slice of focaccia or pizza from Gabriele Bonci; or a Chianina burger from Enrico Lagorio. A birreria (beer house) sells craft beer.

Grab something quick from one of the ground-floor stalls and eat it at one of the tables in the walkways, or head upstairs to 1st-floor Il Ristorante di Oliver Glowig (meals €45; open noon to 3pm and 7pm to 11pm), which offers a menu signed off by the Rome-based Michelin-starred chef.
