If this isn’t the best white pizza in Rome, I don’t know where it is. (Well, Roscioli – see below -- is terrific, too.) Buy some to eat while walking through the market.

These two shops are owned by the same family. The Via dei Chiavari store is a bakery, one of the best in Rome. There are lots of items to buy as a snack, particularly the Roman pizza. You buy it by weight (it doesn’t weigh much) and eat it out of hand at room temperature, as a Roman would.
The other location on Via dei Giubbonari, which is the street that runs directly out of the Campo, used to be a large specialty grocery. It has recently been converted into a smaller grocery, still carrying artisanal cheeses and salumi (cold cuts) from all over Italy, but with a stylish restaurant and wine bar (enotecca) behind it an downstairs. Inside the ancient building shell, 30-something Pierluigi Roscioli, whose passion for wine motivated the change, has installed a cutting edge-contemporary steel and glass interior. Wine bottles stand on floating glass shelves under ancient wooden beams. It’s a great look. The food comes out on geometric white china. To my pleasure, what is on the china is as traditional as the offerings of the grocery in front – raw milk cheeses from all over Italy, the best cold cuts, grilled vegetables dressed with artisanal olive oil. There are also sandwiches, pastas, and second courses. Because of its contemporary look and attitude, the restaurant is attracting a young clientele, especially at night, but this is a good place for a light lunch. Both the food and wine prices are moderate.

A tiny restaurant on a tiny piazza off the Via dei Giubbonari, it specialize in fried baccala. Do not eat anything else, except perhaps some fried zucchini and/or cold bean salad to go with the salt cod. It is most appealing in warm weather, when tables are set up in the Largo outside the cramped restaurant. Inexpensive.
