pretty sure that Roberto Liberati never had a stall in Mercato Centrale.
You are knowledgeable about a lot of things relating to Italy, but even when you DON'T know, you still try to put down others that do know. And in this instance, you are flat out wrong. PWMTrav also said further upthread that when they were at Mercato Centrale Roberto Liberati had a butcher stall. But you don't call them a liar.

You'll note that the canopy says Roberto Liberati e Fausto Savigni. However, since the website only lists Savigni, it is possible that Liberati is no longer involved in it.

So far this year I've lived in Rome for at least two months, as I did last year. I ate at the Mercato maybe 5-6 times this past July.
I said I'm, "pretty sure that Liberati did not have a stall in the Mercato." Let me rephrase that.
I am 100% sure that Liberati does not have a stall in the Mercato.
When the Mercato opened Liberati, who is a
butcher, not a chef, briefly co-managed a butcher shop in it that primarily sold sausage and salami. It was a butcher shop, not a restaurant, like the the butcher shop he owns in the outskirts of Rome, where he doesn't give lessons on how to cook, he gives lessons on things like how to carve a chicken.
At the stall he briefly participated in for what mainly seems like opening week publicity, they did serve some food, mainly kabab and hamburgers, although it was possible they had steak. Since it was a butcher shop and not a restaurant you could carry your hamburger to one of the common picnic tables in the market and eat it there.
