The massive street food village returns to Via Tiburtina in Rome
The Tiburtina TTS Street Food is the Roman stop of the traveling tour by TTS Food (a Mela Eventi format), which for an entire weekend turns a stretch of Via Tiburtina, near number 521 in the Tiburtino district, into a massive open-air restaurant. The section between Via Vincenzo Morello and Via delle Cave di Pietralata is pedestrianized to host dozens of gourmet stalls in the heart of Rome's Municipality IV, between the Pietralata and Portonaccio neighborhoods.
The heart of the event is the selection of street chefs who offer live cooking shows and made-to-order dishes. Alongside gourmet reinterpretations of Italian classics, you will find regional specialties from Southern and Central Italy—from Sicily to Puglia, Abruzzo to the Marche—alongside a wide culinary tour of the world.
There is no shortage of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, as well as a wide selection of sweets: fresh tiramisu and crepes, cannoli, cassatine, pistachio delights, brioche col tuppo filled on the spot, and cheesecake.
The food and wine experience is completed by a dedicated beverage area. Exclusively for TTS Food, we feature Unfiltered Raw Beer from the Bavarian brewery Landshuter Brauhaus, while Drink Lab is the format dedicated to signature mixology, with cocktails and Spritz prepared by expert bartenders. The atmosphere is enlivened by lights and music in true TTS Food style.
Launched in 2024, the Tiburtina Street Food has quickly established itself as one of the most anticipated gastronomic events in eastern Rome, returning annually in the spring. The 2026 edition, coinciding with the May 1st Labor Day holiday, confirms the winning formula of a free event for all ages that combines great food, music, and social vibes in the Lazio region.
From May 1st to 3rd, 2026, the massive TTS Food street food village returns to Via Tiburtina. The stretch between Via Vincenzo Morello and Via delle Cave di Pietralata is pedestrianized to host over twenty-five Italian and international street chefs, featuring regional specialties, global cuisines, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, as well as a wide range of fresh desserts. The Bavarian Unfiltered Raw Beer and the Drink Lab mixology format will also be present. Free entry for all three days.
