The freshness of the seafood is undeniable, as the selection is constantly replenished to ensure the highest quality possible. You'll find yourself captivated by the sheer variety, from the glistening salmon to the iridescent squid and the succulent prawns.

The irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread wafts through the air, drawing you towards the lovingly crafted pastries and breads. What truly sets San Benedetto Market apart, however, is the warmth and passion of the vendors. They are not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable about their products. Their enthusiasm for their craft is infectious, and they are more than happy to share their expertise and provide recommendations tailored to your tastes. The prices at San Benedetto Market are refreshingly reasonable, making it a perfect destination for food lovers on any budget.

A heads up…the original market is closed for restoration but if you continue about 200 meters there is a temporary market that has the same vendors. Maybe not as picturesque but as far as food is concerned it’s the same. If you are staying at an equipped BNB and you cook this place will save you a ton of money. Fresh fish,meats,produce, cheese, pasta and even a stall that sells local wine in 1.5 liter plastic bts for about €4. Everyone is friendly and helpful and if you try to speak Italian it goes a long way. We were blown away by the kindness and complete pride of the stall owners. They often allow you to taste before you buy. One stall in particular,Polleria Piccardi, gave us a package of rabbit liver that we inquired about….absolutely free of charge and as we lover rabbit liver this was a complete treat.Highly recommended for a real taste of Cagliari.

Amazing place, very good prices but be careful because like all the markets, if they understand you don't know about prices, they will try to make it grow, or give you a few less, for example 900gr instead of 1kg that you will pay. Those people are everywhere in this world. Food is fresh and the quality is very high by the way. The fish area is located underground at -1 while meat and veggies at ground floor. If you are lucky you can find a park place in the nearest. Me, personally, for the fish I buy in the spot owned by two young guys, I think around 30 yo. The price is more honest there 😎

A fun market to go through for both residents and tourists. The market is stocked full of vegetable, bread, meat, fish and sweets stores and features all the smells that come with them. The sales people are very friendly and do not harass you. There are bathrooms as well. Parking spaces are generally really hard to find and all require payment, however it is not expensive with a 1 euro per hour rate. Definitely a place worth visiting if you like the market ambiance. If you are just browsing and do not intend to get your groceries though, you will be through in under 30 minutes.

What a place! You can buy anything you want here. If you want to buy local products, only here. Huge selection of cheeses, meats, fruit, and vegetables. On the ground floor there are fish and seafood that are so fresh they move. Here also lists the stands that I strongly recommend: — box 189, the guys speak fluent English and will advise you perfectly. Delicious cheeses! They are in the attached photos. — box 56, super nice lady, with the best mortadella in Italy — wine—there is only one gentleman selling wine from metal barrels. You buy fine, home-made wine in plastic bottles.

Just go there, you have to when you are in town. Be aware of 1-2min shock smell when you are on “seafood/fish” floor, hold on and u be fine. Everything is fresh, local and extra tasty. Only few people speaks english but they will tell u the price on their tills or receipts. Remember that prices sometimes are per weight so it migh look cheap but they NOT. We spend a lot but after all I was a really happy person:D Defo worth it! There is also a guy who sells home made wine and u can try it before purchase, ended up buying white and red, sooo good and only €2.50 per L!
