The Complete Guide to Rome’s Campo de’ Fiori Neighborhood: Look No Further!

TheRomanGuy Last Updated: March 30, 2021

One of the best ways to plan a trip to Rome is to stick to a neighborhood or two a day. We’ve already covered Trastevere in our Hidden Gems Guide to Rome – Trastevere, and Monti in our Hidden Gems Guide to Rome – Monti. Now it’s time to focus on a neighborhood that’s home to Rome’s most famous outdoor market – welcome to Campo de’ Fiori!


Pro Tip: Like this content? Bookmark it in a “Rome” folder so you can circle back to it easily.  You can also check out our post on where to stay in Rome! Wondering the streets of Rome aimlessly is a beautiful thing to do but not for four days straight.  You’re going to want some structured activities. Be sure to take a look at our Rome tours to remove the guesswork.

Campo Neighborhood Rome

Now, Campo de’ Fiori is not actually a neighborhood, but a piazza, although many locals refer to the area as simply “Campo”.

The name literally means field of flowers, and during the day, you’ll now find Rome’s most famous market engulf the piazza. At night, the area turns into a hot spot for locals to enjoy aperitivo and cocktails.

So, what else does the “Campo” area have to offer? Here is your insider’s guide to finding the Hidden Gems of Campo de’ Fiori.

Where is Campo de’ Fiori?



Booking.com

Campo is in the center of Rome’s hustle and bustle. It’s within walking distance to Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, Via del Corso, Trastevere and the Colosseum. So, it’s fair to say that it’s a pretty awesome neighborhood to find yourself in if you want to experience Rome on a rush! 

East of the neighborhood, you can see the Colosseum & Roman Forum, which is only a 5-10 minute walk away. Looking northwest, you can see St Peter’s Square and the Vatican – just a 15 minute walk away or two stops on the ’23’ bus to Clodio if you’re going towards the Vatican.

Things to Do in Campo de’ Fiori

Campo is a colorful area, with lots of different things to do and see. You name it, Campo most probably has it: an outdoor market, shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, museums, churches and monuments. 

Selecting our favorite hidden gems of Campo de’ Fiori, we’ve compiled the following neighborhood bucket list for you to wander and eat your way through. 

Campo de’ Fiori MarketCampo de Fiori Market in Rome, Italy

The main attraction of this area for tourists is the outdoor market. You can find almost anything here, from fresh fruit and vegetables to meats and cheeses, to clothes and kitchenware.

It’s a great place to buy some souvenirs, but it’s gotten more expensive.

Address: Piazza Campo de’ Fiori | Hours: 8a.m.-2p.m. Mon-Sat

Bruno’s Statue 

Giordano Bruno Statue in Campo de' Fiori

In the middle of the piazza, you’ll see a statue of a man wearing a long dark cloak.

That man is philosopher Giordano Bruno, who was burned at the stake in that very piazza in the 17th century.  

Why? Because of his radical scientific theories about the universe that conflicted with the Church’s teachings.

Via GiuliaCampo de Fiori Via Giulia

Not many people know this, but famous painter Raphael Sanzio actually lived on this street.

It’s known as one of the most beautiful streets in Europe and is a great escape from the crowds if you fancy stretching your legs after lunch in the area.

You’ll also find a tailor on this street if you fancy some custom fit “Made in Italy” shirts.

Address: Via Giulia

Shopping in Campo de’ Fiori

La Antica Norceria Viola

Calling all meat lovers! This prosciutteria sits right on the edge of the piazza and is the perfect place to sample some of the best cured meats in the neighborhood.

This family-owned shop is filled to the brim with different types of meat. If you want to take some home, they’ll wrap it up in an airtight, airplane-friendly bag.

Address: Piazza Campo de’ Fiori, 43 | Hours: Mon-Sat 10:30a.m.-10p.m.

Via del PellegrinoLa Antica Norceria Viola

This street leads away from Campo de’ Fiori, but is home to some lovely little shops and cafes. 

If you’re looking for something a little bit different, then these are the shops you should be visiting (as well as going to the neighborhood of Monti).

You’ll find jewelry, clothes, kids shops, antiques and no high street stores. Walk all the way to the end and you’ll meet via dei Banchi Vecchi, another street leading away from Campo with some cute shops on it. 

Address: Via del Pellegrino | Hours: Vary

Via dei Giubbonari

This is a more popular shopping street in the Campo area. You’ll find lots of little shops bustling with people buying clothes, shoes, food, liquor, homeware and much more.

It’s the main street that leads into Campo from the 8 tram stop so it is always a busy one, but the good thing is that the shops tend to stay open later.

Address: Via dei Giubbonari | Hours: Vary

*Osteria Orbitelli

osteria orbitelli

Unassuming from the outside, Osteria Orbitelli comes at the high and might recommendation from our CEO and co-owner, Sean Finelli.

Owned by Neapolitans, this affordable yet delicious dig serves several courses for just 25 euros. There’s no menu, so just ask for what they recommend and they will start bringing out their best seafood and pasta creations.

Address: Vicolo Orbitelli, 13 | Hours: 12-3 p.m., 7:15 p.m. – 11 p.m.

Forno Campo de’ Fiori 

Forno Campo de’ Fiori is an institution in the piazza, feeding people with delicious baked goods since 1819. They even provided good for Vannozza de’ Cataneis, the mistress of Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia).

So, when you buy some artisan baked goods here, you’re literally buying a piece of history. We recommend their pizza, panini, walnut bread and even their cheesecake!

Address: Campo De’ Fiori, 22 | Price: €3+  | Hours: 7:30a.m.-2:30p.m. & 4:45p.m.-10p.m.

Caffè Peru – Vino e Cucina

Caffè Peru is hidden away in a backstreet behind Campo de’ Fiori and is the perfect place to escape for some lunch or a glass of wine. It’s eclectic style and friendly staff might make you keep coming back for more.

Address:Via di Monserrato, 46 |  Price: €10+ | Hours: 6:30p.m.-2a.m.

Der Pallaro Where to Eat in Campo de Fiori

Like something from a movie, the place is run by nonna Paola who has been working here for decades and still cooks all the food.

They serve typical Roman and Italian delicacies, but we suggest you trust the waiter and let him suggest dishes for you.

Address: Largo del Pallaro, 15 | Price: €25pp | Hours: 12:30a.m.-3:30p.m. & 7p.m. -11p.m.
