Foodie heaven in the historic heartland

Word to the wise: You will struggle to find better quality dark roast coffee beans anywhere else in Rome.

If you want rare cheeses from Italy, herbs from Portugal or an obscure brand of olive oil, Castroni will most likely stock it. Whatever ingredients your recipes demand, you'll find them here.

This old fashioned shop overflows with an abundance of Mediterranean foods as well as specialties from all over the world, something that is a boon to homesick visitors who can find a taste of home here.
