Outstanding sandwich/panini shop in Verona near the Castelvecchio…read more I order their "nympho" sandwich, which featured mortadella on focaccia with a mozzarella cream and pistachio. Very good, but as much as I love mortadella their salami was off the charts and I returned for that sandwich the next day. Very reasonably priced and great quality. Molto bene.

There isn't really room inside to eat. The outdoor parklet is nice because there's a glass barrier to the street, and there are umbrellas for of it's sunny, blankets for if it's cold. The focus is sandwiched. Paninis are €7 each. There's a menu on the wall in Italian with the 5 daily choices (including a vegetarian one). Wines are cheap: €3.50-5 a glass. We tried: - Braesola with truffle cream: I love that the braesola here is not as salty as in the US - Mortadella with fava bean purée: unexpectedly good You can grab a glass of wine and walk around the market as you wait for your sandwich - no sure if it's really allowed, but no one stopped us. Also, the Mercato has free WiFi. The woman working there were very patient while we decided on our order, and she spoke English. Cash only.

Excellent bread, mortadella, cream, rocket. Bologna…read more That's a 5 star review in and of itself and Il Panino is one of the best representations of that you will find in the city.

Like everything in Italy, the most simple things are usually the best. We told the person at the counter that we just wanted to "try" so he recommended we just get the 4 most popular toppings. I wouldnt necessarily say that it was a must have but the wife and i are foodies so we loved the idea of having something that was specific to the region and not something that we would find say like in Milan.

I was recommended this place by a local when I used to live in Modena and I really can't thank him…read moreenough for his insider knowledge as this place quickly became one of my locals! I have fond memories of this place from when I used to live in Modena and couldn't believe my luck that I had stumbled across a largely unknown (at least I had never heard of it) but very traditional local speciality: the crescentina. In the local language (Modenesi) it is known as Chersenta, hence the name of the establishment and it is basically a traditional sandwich. The bread, the star of the show, is traditionally made in "tigelle" (circular terracotta discs lined with chestnut leaves), although nowadays they have a special device that mimics the traditional method. Traditionally this bread and opened (like a pita bread) and filled with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and slathered with Pesto alla Modenese (also known as Cunza) which is a garlic and rosemary flavoured pork lard. Nowadays, however, there is a wide range of ingredients you can stuff the bread with. My usual used to be Italian cured ham, cremino piccante (a type of spicy soft cheese), artichokes and mushrooms. So simple yet so satisfying. If you are not in the mood for savoury, you can get one filled with Nutella or other sweet ingredients instead. If you are in the area, this is a must as it's close to the main square and right next to the Mercato Albinelli (Local Covered Market). Every time I went to the market, I would come here for lunch or snack.

Salumeria Simoni is located on Via Drapperie, a narrow street where there are restaurants,…read morebutchers, fresh seafood shops, and cheese shops. There are many places with tables outside, but I feel that Simoni is the best, plus it's always the busiest. I came here for a cold beer and some lunch and decided on Simoni, as they had a table outside available, but before I sat, I walked inside the store and looked at all the food, the hams hanging on the wall, it was wonderful! I was quickly seated and given a menu. I ordered a cold beer right away and perused the menu. My server brought me a cold beer and asked me if I was ready to order. I decided on the Charcuterie and Cheese, which had a selection of meats and cheeses as well as some bread. I was concerned if it would be enough for me. Well, this large plate of meat arrived and suddenly I was concerned if I could eat it all! I was worried for nothing, I devoured some of the best Italian meat and cheese that I have ever had. The Mortadela was especially tasty. Service was great, food was phenomenal, and it was so nice to sit there on the street watch all the people walk by. I can highly recommend Simoni, but be careful if you go by yourself! You will be full!
