The most disappointing market I've ever been to. It's just a handful of small stands with extremely aggressive shopkeepers and overpriced pasta/spices (I got the same stuff for literally half the price in the Florence market). Utterly skippable, not worth wasting your time unless you're literally five minutes away or in desperate need of dry pasta you can easily find in any store. There's nothing special here that you can't find everywhere else.

Virtually no traditional shopkeepers, except for one older man selling cheese and another selling limoncellos. There's shady people hocking Chinese polyester and calling it "cashmere"--I'm sure the "spices" aren't made in Italy either! Don't believe them when they tell you where something is made. There's no ready-made food either. Tourist trap doesn't even begin to describe this place.

You're MUCH better off going to the ACTUAL food market across the river. This was a disappointing waste of time. There are some decent restaurants in the piazza though.

Place where Giordano Bruno was burned on the stake in the year of 1600. because of his theory of many worlds and infinite universe. Square in the old city, not so grandiose like other, but it's worth a look if you are near.

Quaint little market offering local produce like pasta, olive oil and truffle. The market is located in a square surrounded by a number of great restaurants, cafes and bars.

Good place to go for food, coffee, drinks but nothing much to see in the market. The surrounding lanes are exceptionally beautiful, epitome of the traditional Roman/Italian architecture and oh my god are they just so beautiful, so romantic!

I am not a fan of the Campo dei Fiori. The tourists have killed this market. To see a real Roman market I recommend smaller ones like the one at the Piazza Alessandrina with a gigantic old espresso machine and fish, meat, cheese, flowers, Roman inhabitants...

There are things to look at.

There are things to look at.
My favourite is the Bialetti stall. I was looking for a souvenir for my sister. She always said she wanted an original Bialetti as in our country is 2 times more expensive.

I bought an original one for 2 cups for 23.
The seller was friendly and explained about different models.
