Walking through the streets of Testaccio in Rome, I came across Bite and Go. This space is located inside the Covered Market in the Testaccio district. How will you recognize him? Simple because of the huge queue that is here every day, especially, needless to say, at lunchtime.
Here the sandwiches are made with Roman raw materials, tripe, scottona, artichokes, are just some of the ingredients that make up the mega sandwiches that you can find here. The price is € 3.50 per sandwich, plus some delicacies are only 1.50 €. A really cheap and street food way to eat well in Rome and especially in Rome.
Every day, on the side of the Testatccio market which is on the side of the Macro, so to speak, a large queue gathers. People waiting for their numbers to arrive, making their way through the crowd to see the daily specials. Here, in this not too big space, three people work. We are talking about Sergio Esposito, son and wife, who al box number 15 of the covered market every day they do magic.
The allesso di scottona, the tripe, not to mention the sausage and other Roman specialties. I ate a sandwich with boiled meat and green sauce, the green sauce was actually the extra touch that gave the sandwich its intense flavor. Sergio prepares the sandwiches, his wife prepares the raw material, let's call it that and the son is at the cash desk. A'great team there is nothing to say. There are no places to sit, except two benches but placed there like this, near the market exit. Too bad because it is also possible to grab a drink at daMordi e Vai and the possibility of staying a little longer would certainly have served to increase sales.
The beautiful thing is there face of people while enjoying the sandwich, you cannot understand. Pure pleasure which leads you to taste yours quickly and to recommend it to friends;)
