"Perfect For: Cheap Eats Under normal circumstances, if you wanted to eat tripe, tongue, braised meat, or simmered artichokes in Rome you would have to head to a trattoria or restaurant for a full-on meal, devoting precious time and money. But at Box #15 in the Mercato di Testaccio, Mordi e Vai offers Rome's offal, meat, and vegetable classics in fast food form. For around €3.00, get a ciabatta filled with the Roman dish of your choice. I never miss the panino con l'allesso (tender brisket)." - chris stang

If you eat one meat dish in Rome, make it a sandwich with allesso di scottona (simmered brisket) at Mordi e Vai. It’s amazing with or without cicoria. If you have room, get a second panino filled with polpette di bollito (fried shredded allesso).

The exact nugget of meaty delight you’d expect to find in a Local Roman market. Too many options to choose. Guess that means we’ll be back. Allesso do Scottona was as good as advertised. Might ask for a double dip in the sauce next time Incredible Vitella al Ravi Bianco A tall Peroni and a Cecchini Sausage to top it off. All under 20€ A fantastic meat lovers sandwich shop. Places like this are why we travel, get lost and explore what might turn up around the corner.

Nice and popular sandwich place in Testaccio market. Even though the concept is great (slow cooked local meat recipes in sandwich buns) and it is recommended in several Rome guides and YouTube videos, it was not one of the most memorable street food experiences for us. Not bad but not great either. Value for money and a good option while at the market but not something to get you out of your way just for a visit.

This is a Roman institution - you have to come here! Superb traditional stewed meat sandwiches, just delicious! A great place to grab a bite to eat whilst out and about, but equally well worth a visit on its own merit.

It was the first spot on our check list to try Roman street food and it did not disappoint. One of the best sandwiches (panini) I've ever had. Very juicy and full of flavours. Especially recommend their number 1 seller Allesso di Scottona.

The legendary status of this sandwich stand are true and well deserved! This was one of the street foods I was most looking forward to trying and they did not disappoint! As I only have limited space in my stomach, I ordered their classic Allesso di Scottona beef and chicory sandwich and it was truly delicious. The beef was soft and succulent and while balanced with the sauteed chicory and the bun that was pre-soaked in some of the juices was soft and rich but not soggy. Clearly there is a master at work making these delicious Roman sandwiches! For sure I will be back to try some more next time I am in Rome!

I run at this market by accident and tried food here. Best thing I did. As a meat lover, this is place for me 😃 I wish I had something like this in my city.

As a visitor into this wonderful marketplace, it is overwhelming to know where to shop, who to trust and what foods will be so good you’ll want to return!! Fortunately we were able to go with locals and discovered this spot for the best slow cooked meats and sandwiches… worth the wait and very good prices. You will be glad you stopped. The pride comes thru with every bite!! The pictures don’t do justice, I wish the flora and aromas could come thru as well!!
