Beppe e i Suoi Formaggi
Faro buys its centrifuge butter here, and Katie Parla says stay on the cheese.
Why go
The strongest thing anybody has said about this counter is not a review. Gambero Rosso, writing up the bakery side of Faro, reports that the pastry section has started using a centrifuge butter from Beppe e i Suoi Formaggi, and calls the shop a shop of happiness for anyone who loves dairy, in the heart of the Jewish quarter (Gambero Rosso). A specialty roaster spending money on your butter is a harder fact than a listing.
Katie Parla puts it on her short list of Rome counters for cheese and cured meats, and attaches one instruction: skip the cured meats at Beppe and stick to the cheeses
(Katie Parla). She also notes that the Ghetto shop serves wine and other food, which the family's other doors do not. She sells paid walking tours in Rome.
Order this / avoid
- Order: the cheese, and a glass with it if you are at the Ghetto counter.1
- Avoid: the cured meats. Parla names them as the thing to skip.

Good to know
- Where: Via di Santa Maria del Pianto 9a/11, at the Regola end of the Ghetto. Neither source prints a street line; that one is Nominatim resolving the name. The Ghetto counter is the one that pours wine.
- Booking: none. It is a shop with a counter.
- Reviews: I have not found a published account of eating here, only two writers naming it in passing.
Verdict
could-visit — Faro buys its butter here, which is the kind of evidence a cheese counter cannot manufacture, and Katie Parla puts it on the short list of places in Rome to buy cheese. Her instruction is the reason to keep the trip short: stick to the cheeses. It is a stop in the Ghetto between the bakery and the artichoke rather than a plan of its own.
