The Fish Market in Rome
Fish is a cornerstone of the Italian culinary tradition and the Mediterranean diet, and Il Pescatorio is one of the best fish markets in Rome, capable of guaranteeing the finest raw materials in the city.
On our counters, you will find only the freshest, highest-quality seafood. We source from selected fishermen’s cooperatives operating along the Lazio coast and in the Tyrrhenian Sea. They guarantee daily arrivals of delicious, local, and sustainable fish that reaches our fresh department no later than 24 hours after being caught. Furthermore, we have the utmost respect for the seasonality of the product.
A Modern Seafood Boutique
Ours is a “modern” fish market that has often anticipated current trends. We are a “fish shop with a kitchen” that not only sells fish but also cleans and prepares it expertly. We offer a vast assortment of ready-to-eat dishes for take-away, or gourmet preparations ready to be cooked at home.
On our counter, you will also find a vast selection of oysters from the finest French producers, which we are uniquely able to offer in Rome. We also feature a boutique of excellent typical regional products, such as oils, wines, champagne, and preserves. These are the result of a personal selection process that lasted for years, leading us to visit the territories and the people who love them.
From the Counter to the Kitchen
Furthermore, our fish supplies our adjacent Bistrot: one of the best seafood restaurants in the city. Every day, our chefs select the best catch from our counter to prepare exquisite snacks for the lunch break, premium raw dishes for the aperitivo, and the main courses for our famous terrace dinners.
Our Philosophy: The Gold of the Sea
We opened in 2014 to guarantee our customers the best seafood product available in the city with a very specific intent: to combine excellent quality, respect for the sea, and support for the short supply chain, which is the only one capable of meeting our highest expectations.
Together with other professionals in the city and across the country, we have contributed to the evolution of the ancient “fishmonger” trade. We are convinced, in fact, that knowing how to properly handle this true gold of the sea constitutes a refined art that requires immense experience and passion.
Simply put, we believe in the fish we sell. At the core of this belief lies a single, solid word: respect. Respect for the work, respect for the sea, and respect for our guests who cross the threshold of our fish market every day.
