The story
Tucked inside Rome’s bustling Mercato Talenti, Box di Mare delivers a focused, no-fuss seafood-counter experience. The stall specializes in straightforward dishes that let the catch speak for itself—creator Pratt particularly praised the *insalata di pesce con ombrina, gamberone e polpo* for its quality preparation. An *arancino di mare con ragù di scampi, polpe e provola dolce* showed clear technical precision, though Pratt noted it didn’t quite captivate the palate in the same way. It’s a reliable neighborhood spot for fresh, well-executed seafood in a lively market setting.

Arancino di Mare con Ragù di Scampi, Polpe e Provola Dolce
€3. It's very delicate, it's a bit like the perfume of a rose. The flavors welcome you wagging their tail, they jump on you like a happy Labrador. He's more of a cat, he stays there. He didn't drive me crazy, but you can tell these two guys working here have a lot of technique. The breading, for example, was perfect. For me it's a worthy seven.
