As I was ordering food, local nuns entered the restaurant and ordered food too. Everyone spoke in Italian, so I only pointed to the food that I wanted to order. Everyone was friendly and helpful!

I've been to Rome several times and no visit is complete without a trip to Forno Campo de Fiori. They have delicious pastries and biscotti as well as sandwiches made with their delicious flat bread. You can watch them make the bread through the window, it's truly amazing to watch! You can't go wrong here, everything is great, but don't miss the almond cookies with a cherry filling! They are ball-shaped with a sliced almond coating. There are other ones with different fillings, but the cherry ones are the best! Their sandwiches are also great for strolling around the market while you eat them. They get very busy at lunchtime so expect to wait a bit. There are two locations next to each other. One is just carry out service and the other has some seating. I'm not sure if they both offer the same items since I always go the the take out one on the left.

DELICIOUS ITALIAN LUNCH ! On Monday, Sept 24th after our incredible private guided tour of the Colosseum our tour guide Val brought us here for lunch. Val assured us this was a great place to grab a panino sandwich. AND IT WAS ! My wife and I were less than week into our 2 week vacation in Italy and yet to try an Italian Panino ( flatbread ) Sandwich. VERY BUSY ! The tiny bakery / cafe was bursting at the seams when we walked inside around 12.30pm. We could see a few different varieties of panino sandwiches and lots of delectable sweet stuff. We ordered a couple of panino sandwiches and a slice Strudel. NOWHERE TO SIT ! This was purely a take-out place so we sat at a bar height table outside the pub virtually next door. Of course I had to buy a Belgian Beer to pair with my sensational panino sandwich. WE LOVED IT ! In fact It was so good I convinced my wife to come back the next day. We got a taxi to Campo de' Fiori around 1pm on Tuesday and did it all again. They actually have 2 locations here and we went to the larger one on our return visit buy our panino sandwiches. AND THEN TO THE PUB ! NOTE - Of course with over 22 million views of my Yelp reviews and pics world wide in 2022 I can tell you what is great !

Forno Campo de' Fiori means "Oven Field of Flowers". You may be thinking, why? Well... the reason is super cool! In the the Middle Ages, the area where the bakery now calls home was a meadow. Therefore, my thought, is that the name combines two things: history and superb baked goods. Super cool, huh? And guess what? When you walk into this neighborhood shop, it's like walking into a giant meadow of baked goods. You'll be flooded with endless options and feel a bit overwhelmed when choosing what to pick: pizza, breads, calzones, apple strudels, etc. My heart (and eyes) were set on the pizza. I had heard it was one of the best in the city - a true classic - and it turned out to be just that. The pizza was thin, crispy and packed a mighty bite of flavor. There's a ton of toppings they do. We tried the margarita, the seasonal veggie and the pepperoni. Honestly, I couldn't choose a favorite. They were all delicious. It's definitely worth a stop in!! PRO TIP: The neighboring restaurant encourages you to buy pizza from Forno Campo de' Fiori then sit at their tables and order a beer. This is exactly what we did, and it was AWESOME!

This is a hidden gem that will blow your mind with the food, the history behind it and the staff, a must when in Rome as you can experience a true local spot.

Maybe because it was one of my first flat breads in Rome, but this place was awesome. I found out about it from a traveling show and it did not disappoint. When you walk in, there are a few different stations to order from. The main counter has the pizza and a separate counter has more of the sweet pastries. There were so many varieties of things to choose from, but of course I had to go with the pizza bianca and the pizza bianca with zucchini. I honestly could have done without the zucchini solely because the plain was just so good. I dont know what it was, but there was just a great balance of salty and olive oil flavor. The bread was crispy but not hard. On top of that, its just really cheap compared to what you would pay in the US. I also had a crostatine di visciola which was a mini pastry with fruit. Not as good and probably could have done without. Overall, the food was good, the servers were friendly despite not speaking much english, and its located in a great place with lots of people.

As you walk around Rome, there are going to be plenty of "fornos" or oven-based spots to stop in for lunch or a panino. However, Forno Camp de' Fiori is producing some of the best breads and sandwiches around. It's a great place to grab a sandwich or suppli and hop over to a local bar to have a drink with lunch. Pro Tip: If you don't feel like waiting in line, they have an "express" pre-made shop right next door. The ingredients are just as good. There's typically no wait there.

One of my favorite spots in Rome. Their pizza rossa is amazing, although I'd have it very slightly below Roscioli's. Their pizza Bianca, on the other hand, is just perfect and probably my favorite anywhere -- very crispy and very light. (We got one with mortadella and one with prosciutto and mozz, and both were amazing.) Their suppli and pastries are great too, and I'd love to try other pizza flavors on our next trip. We'll definitely be back.
