TTS Street Food – Villa Gordiani (Centocelle)

Street food arrives in Centocelle

The TTS Street Food – Villa Gordiani is one of the Roman stops on the Typical Truck Street Food (TTS) tour, a traveling format that brings the best of street food to Italian squares. The event takes place in the pedestrian area of Viale Agosta, just a stone's throw from the Villa Gordiani archaeological park and in the heart of the Centocelle district, in Rome's Municipio V. For an entire weekend, the street transforms into an open-air restaurant, with two rows of trucks facing each other and a central area dedicated to bars and seating.

Around twenty kitchens from Italy and the world

The heart of the event is the selection of about twenty chefs and food trucks, showcasing regional and international street food. Some of the most popular offerings include:

• Abruzzese arrosticini (skewered lamb) and porchetta di Ariccia;
• bombette and Puglian burrata, sfincione, and Sicilian arancini;
• Roman pizza, Ascoli-style fried olives, and seafood dishes (octopus, anchovies, squid);
• international flavors: American barbecue, Spanish paella, empanadas and Argentine asado, Indian curry, and Greek pita and souvlaki;
• gluten-free and vegetarian options, including arepas and twister potatoes.

To finish the meal, there is no shortage of desserts: Sicilian cannoli, tiramisu, maritozzi with whipped cream, and artisanal cheesecakes. As for drinks, there is plenty of Bavarian craft beer, spritz, cocktails, and aperitifs.

A festive atmosphere in the neighborhood

Colorful lights, music, and outdoor tables create the convivial atmosphere of the event. Admission is free, and the gathering is designed for families, groups of friends, and local residents, who can stroll between the trucks and freely compose their own menu, from appetizer to dessert.

A recurring appointment at Villa Gordiani

The Viale Agosta stop is now a classic in the Roman TTS Food calendar: in 2025, it was held twice, in the spring (April 4-6) and in the autumn (October 24-26). Organized by Mela Eventi, it is part of a wider circuit of street food events that visit numerous districts of Rome and various locations in Lazio throughout the year.
