What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
This small local market is praised for its excellent, affordable fruits and vegetables, and a highly recommended cheese and cured meats stall. While it has a limited number of stalls and parking can be difficult, it offers a genuine taste of Moncalieri's local produce and a friendly, authentic atmosphere.
"A small local market.
Five fruit and vegetable stalls, a cheese stall, and three underwear and clothing stalls.
There's room for more, but it's clearly not a desirable market.
It faces competition from Piazza Bengasi (not far away), a nearby supermarket, and the "large" market held the day before in Moncalieri.
The fruit and vegetables are good and affordable; then, as with all markets, you browse the stalls and make your selection."
Giovanni Albera
"A small market but good products. The Dominici farm in Barge sells only local produce. The taste and quality of the goods are appreciated. Then there's the cheese stall full of good cheeses and cured meats... There's always a line... and then there are other fruit and vegetable stalls... organic cosmetics and body care products round out the market. Only on Saturdays and only in the morning."
Sibilla Tamagno
"Excellent market on Saturday mornings, with only 5 or 6 stalls. Special mention goes to the cheese and cured meats stall. The other stalls offer excellent fruit and vegetables, with good-quality home-grown produce at reasonable prices.
Parking is sometimes full, but you can always find one across the street, just past the traffic lights."
