Retired butcher Sergio Esposito and his wife, Mara Cipriani, opened Mordi e Vai in Box #15 in the Testaccio Market in 2012. Fans come for sandwiches filled with homemade Roman specialties, each served for a fraction of restaurant prices. Esposito and Cipriani have a flair for offal and beef dishes like rognoncini (kidneys with onions) and allesso di bollito (simmered brisket). There are also a few vegetarian options like tender artichokes served on crusty bread with slivers of Pecorino Romano cheese.
