The story
Located on Via di Acqua Bullicante, this Lidl in Rome serves as a convenient destination for shoppers looking to stock up on a wide variety of protein-focused goods. The supermarket offers an expansive selection of specialized items, ranging from protein-enriched breads and crackers to various desserts like mousse, quark, and chocolate gelato.
Creator Giovanni Fois recently put this extensive lineup to the test, noting that while the store provides a huge selection of protein products, the quality can be hit or miss. Fois observed that while some items offer decent value for the price, many of the options do not quite measure up to the standards of specialized online brands like Bulk. Whether you are grabbing a quick protein bar or experimenting with lentil pasta, this location remains a practical, if varied, stop for fitness-minded grocery shoppers.

AI summary of what 12 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers praise Lidl's quark as a surprisingly creamy, satisfying staple. The overall vibe is one of humble, reliable value that elevates simple ingredients.
“This quark has 8.6 grams of protein per 100 grams, but only 57 calories, so more than half the calories come from protein. That's a lot. But honestly, it's not good. It's not like Philadelphia cream cheese. For €0.99 for 12 grams of protein, it's a decent protein-to-cost ratio, but the taste is not great.”

Lidl has a huge selection of protein products, some are decent value for money, but many are not as good as specialized online brands like Bulk.
Dishes mentioned
Biscotto Proteico
This biscuit has 13.5 grams of protein per 45 grams, 192 calories. Compared to Bulk's biscuit, which I consider the best on the market, this one is edible but not great. It's sandy and doesn't taste as good. I'd say it's okay for the price of €1.39, but if you want a truly good protein biscuit, go with Bulk.
Mousse Proteica
This mousse is really good. It's light and airy, with a great protein-to-price ratio. I always approve of this Lidl protein mousse. It's a solid choice for a post-workout snack.
Quark
This quark has 8.6 grams of protein per 100 grams, but only 57 calories, so more than half the calories come from protein. That's a lot. But honestly, it's not good. It's not like Philadelphia cream cheese. For €0.99 for 12 grams of protein, it's a decent protein-to-cost ratio, but the taste is not great.
Cracker Proteici
I don't like these crackers at all. They're not good. I disapprove of them. They're just not tasty.
Pane Proteico
This protein bread has 300 calories with 25 grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber. I predict I'll be farting a lot on the train tomorrow. It tastes like fried bread on its own. It's okay, but not amazing.
