La Norcineria Iacozzilli - Rom

We came for the porchetta. It was amazing. We walked into the shop, and it seemed like a place that locals frequented. Ambiance was a typical meat shop. We had heard this place was amazing, and we had to try the porchetta. The staff was super friendly. They recommended we get it in sandwich form. So simple but so tasty. The meat was tender, salty, fatty, so savory. I loved every bite.

The best porchetta in Rome! This was a stop on the Eating Europe food tour through Trastevere. The owner was so friendly and the porchetta was outstanding the porchetta was placed on a flatbread so juicy, full of flavor. 5 stars for uniqueness!

Agreed. Best porchetta. Had it on the food tour and so so worth it. Apparently at peak times, they go through a whole pig a day. It's so good and they take such care of how they make it. It was so tender and we'll salted. Even a slice was enough for the piece of bread it came on.

Thank goodness this was part of a walking food tour that we booked during our stay in Rome. This is pork-centric market, where virtually everything they sell is derived from the pig. From my understanding, this is a long-standing place that has a high level of prestige in the community. The piece de resistance is the Porchetta, an experience onto itself. I don't know that I've ever had pork that is as juicy, tender, and unctuous. You would be missing out if you did not pay this place a visit while bopping around Trastevere. And, what is great is that it is located in a foodie's paradise, surrounded by restaurants and gelato joints.

Run by 3 generations of the Iacozzilli family since the early 1920's, this deli is a Trastevere institution. don't miss their porchetta sandwiches
