The best sandwiches! If you are looking for a great picnic meal or a portable lunch you must go here. There are so many flavorful sandwich combinations on killer bread. read more

Great, fresh ingredients across the board. Excellent, friendly service and really makes you feel as if you're home at the local deli. Offers discounts for John Cabot students and is in a close location to campus. read more

Found Donkey Punch based on Yelp. It was a little bit away from where we were, but so worth the trip. It also took us through Trastevere which was a wonderful way to spend the evening as well. However Donkey Punch itself was a fun little spot with truly memorable sandwiches. The staff there are friendly and helpful. They all spoke English, which is nice, but not necessary to get 5 stars. I could ding them a star for not having much of a seating area, but the staff was so good and friendly, and the sandwiches so good, this is a 5 star eat all the way. I had a dire straight(sans the olives) based on recommendation from the staff based on what I was looking for and how I reacted to a few samples. It was simply scrumptious! If and when we return to Rome, this will definitely be one of our must visit locations. read more

Stumbled upon this place while seeking an easy bite before class. While the aesthetic was appealing alone, I did not expect the food to be as outstanding as it was. The menu is super diverse with options for any sort of diet restriction. I went with the Elvis Presley, a sandwich including salmon, arugula, lemon and pecorino and it completely melted in my mouth. It was so fresh and simple, I was able to taste every flavor with each bite. They not only have make your own sandwiches, but also salads, burgers and a nice selection of drinks. The young lady who helped me was great in English, extremely friendly, helpful and patient. They have deals for students and punch cards, so make sure you get one of those! I am already so excited to go back and can't wait to share with all my friends! read more

Dang it! Had we known about this place earlier in our trip we would have eaten an inexpensive DELISH lunch here every day! Or a great late dinner as they are open from 11am to 3am. Small deli type shop with a vibrant feel, rock legend mural on the wall with a board full of rock star suggestions. The staff is super friendly, you can make your own creation or choose a rock star off the board. We had the Rolling Stone which apparently is the most popular and the Bob Marley. Both were fantastic! For the Rolling Stone, the porchetta is moist and amazing and the little bits of cracklins are a very nice touch. Combined with the peppery arugula and roasted tomatoes and spicy chili sauce on a nice ciabatta roll and grilled on the panini, OMG yum. The Bob Marley I have no idea what was on it. The board said: Bob Marley-Crudo, provola, pomodoro, funghi. Maybe beef tartar? It had a super thin sliced meat on it, I thought it was pancetta? A nice kid there told us to have them grill the cheese so we did and added the chili sauce as well. It was fantastic. They also had a nice beer selection. Only 2 or 3 barstools inside. Everyone just stood outside or took it with them. They also played great music. Highly recommend!! read more

Roaming the streets of Rome and found this hidden place, super friendly and food was delicious! Would highly recommend and eat here again.

Loved this place. It caught our eye while on a stroll through Trestevere. We weren't hungry and it wasn't open yet, but we decided (for obvious americano reasons) to return later for a snack. Best meal we had in Rome. Porchetta Sandwich with Fresh Mozzarella. All the ingredients were fresh and amazing, and you have so many options to make it just your way. The owner is a nice guy, cooking up serious delicious sandwich options and the Beer was fantastic too! read more

To make the review short, the sandwiches are incredible, the guys are great people, the music is always exciting and I've gone through two stamp cards in a semester here in Rome. They are a must have when in Rome! read more

I was staying nearby and stumbled into Donkey Punch by accident, but I'm very glad I did. The sandwiches were so incredible, delicious, and affordable that I ate here multiple times during my stay in Rome. The ingredients are fresh and the porchetta is so good! When I visit Rome again, I will definitely track this place down! read more

This is the best sandwich I had in 4 weeks of traveling through Italy and the prices and service are great!

All i remember was walking the streets of Rome with my husband and stopping in front if this strange yet very fun looking place. Let me tell you, that was the best decision we made! We order the porchetta and mozzarella di bufala sandwich, i can still remember how fantastic and flavorful it was. I wish i could hop on a plane, go to Rome just to get a bite out of that sandwich again. read more

Small, casual sandwich shop. Owner/cook was so nice. This is called street food in Italy. One of the best sandwiches I ever had - porchetta on amazing bread. This is a must visit. read more

This place will create sandwiches for you (based on exactly what you want) that are insanely tasty and affordable. Add to that a great craft beer menu. Get the porchetta. read more

Stopped in on a recommendation from my best friend's little sister while I was visiting Rome with my family. Place is gnarly. I don't know what I got because I asked him to just make me whatever he likes best. It was amazing. Wish I could give a better review here because this place really is the bee's knee's, but idk what he made me. It was unreal though. read more

A little local in the heart of trastevere, a "create your own sandwich" menu with a wide range of italian and foreign meats and cheeses. with a good sandwich/panini goes a fresh beer, they have nice collection of craft bottled beers! you should try their "porchetta" famous roman delicatessen; spiced roasted pork. read more
