Macelleria Angelo Feroci, Rome
Located in the heart of Rome, between the Pantheon and the Parliament, this exceptional butcher shop, treasured since 1885, offers a fantastic selection of gourmet food as well. While it leans towards the pricey side, the cost is justified by the fact that it doesn't just provide sustenance, but rather culinary masterpieces.
The shop boasts an impressive display and impeccable quality, presenting beautifully cut meats—a rarity in Rome. Additionally, there is an extensive range of pre-made portions available, with the server even offering guidance on reheating instructions. Among these offerings, one can find numerous Roman specialties, including Polpette alla Romana (Roman-style meatballs) and Polpettone (a larger version of a meatball) stuffed with truffles, chestnuts, artichokes, ham, mozzarella, apples, prunes, and more. For vegetarians, the spinach burgers are a delightful option, as is the assortment of antipasti (appetizers), with dishes such as broccoli pie, grilled eggplants or zucchini stuffed expertly with prosciutto, olives, mozzarella, and other tantalizing ingredients. The only thing seemingly missing is a selection of desserts!
Bottom line, if you're in search of delectable fare for a picnic or takeaway lunch, this is an excellent establishment to visit. Pair your food with the high-quality produce available at the nearby small market in Piazza delle Coppelle, and you're all set for a truly remarkable meal!
