International Street Food – Ponte Marconi Stop (Pietra Papa)

Global street food at Ponte Marconi

The International Street Food festival returns to Rome with a stop set up along the Lungotevere di Pietra Papa, in the Ponte Marconi district. For an entire weekend, the banks of the Tiber transform into an open-air gastronomic village, where food trucks and mobile kitchens from the Italian Association of Street Restaurateurs (A.I.R.S.) bring a journey of flavors, aromas, and traditions from every corner of Italy and the world to life.

The event is one of the many stops on the International Street Food traveling circuit, which crosses squares and riverbanks throughout the peninsula all year round. The Rome stop at Ponte Marconi is part of an edition celebrating ten years of activity, confirming the event as one of the most popular and appreciated appointments in the national and international street food scene. The initiative is promoted by A.I.R.S., chaired by Alfredo Orofino.
