Incredible sandwiches. So many options and the bread was fresh. Monita took great care of us. Great prices.

The spot was right by the Vatican so it's super convenient if you're nearby. Me and my partner opted to sit down and enjoy our sandwiches, but we felt constantly rushed, even though it was low season and there were plenty of tables open. As soon as we sat down, the waitress asked us what we wanted and she came back three times in the span of five minutes so I definitely wish I had more time to breathe and look at the really large menu. I got the vegan sandwich and it actually blew my mind that it was vegan. The cuts of meat were so realistic and the vegan Parm also tasted so close to the original. Altogether, if you had just gave me the sandwich and I was eating it I wouldn't have even questioned that it was vegan. The sandwiches here are so delicious, I would definitely come back. read more

We stopped in for a sandwich upon opening (11am), as we saw they had 3 vegan sandwiches. We each got the Vegan Metronia (€9.50 each, +1€ if you sit in), which come on a choice of brown or white bread. Staff are very friendly and make it clear you can customize your sandwich if you want. The sandwiches came out within 10 minutes and were massive. Really nice bread, plenty of rocket, good vegan cheese and salami, grilled zucchini, and artichoke cream to top it off. Really satisfying and fulfilling sandwich. Located a block or two from the Vatican and open late (3am), what's there not to love about this place? Highly recommended. read more

Duecento Gradi - Patron thoroughly enjoying her sandwich. So good she was crouched over. - Sandwiches Near Me - Rome, RM

Walked a good 10 minutes just so we could get sandwiches from here because I had heard good things and it totally lived up to its expectations! Quite a lot of menu options and a really reasonable price for everything as well. And the best part is that those sandwiches are huge! They also add a good amount of olive oil on top of the toppings before closing the sandwich and also some salt. Not sure how, but it all really works well together! Love how they actually toast the sandwiches so the cheese gets all melty. Dad got the Grillo - I believe he thought it would be a grilled sandwich which is why he got it but it was actually bigger and potatoes and something else in there but he said it was actually quite nice. I believe he thought it would be a grilled sandwich which is why he got it but it was actually bacon and potatoes and something else in there. He did say it was actually quite nice. I believe the potatoes were boiled or something in there but I'm not sure. Custom Turkey+Zucchini+Brie+Rocket - asked for no olive oil on mine and it was still really good. Quite a neutral flavor overall and nice on its own but I was looking for something a little spicy for this meal and I added some hot sauce and it was perfect! Piela - My brother only got this one because he saw someone else before us order it and it looked like a very beautiful loaded sandwich with a lot going on. He was not wrong. A lot of ingredients in there that they all went so so well together! A VERY premium quality ham was used and it leveled up the sandwich quite a lot. Those zucchini flowers were really un a nice touch. I don't remember what husband ordered but from the fact that he actually finished the entire sandwich I take it he really liked it. Over the entire 10-day trip we had in Italy, this sandwich was his favorite! read more

Duecento was recommended to us by the concierge at our hotel, and it became one of my favorite restaurants of all time in the Vatican area. Service was fantastic. Each one of their waiters and waitresses are friendly. They enjoy getting to know us and are such characters. The vibe of their outdoor seating was so relaxing. I sat outside for hours, eating my sandwich and sipping on both my cappuccino and coke. For food, I got their prosciutto (most popular and had truffles) and two variations of their salami (each had different pickled vegetables--very tasty). For beverage, I got their cappuccino, which was equivalent to that of Death Star of sorts (heavy with caffeine--must be an Italian thing!). Overall, Duecento did not disappoint. I encourage others to dine at their establishment as they are welcoming and offer delicious meals! read more

This place was one of two places where we had the famous porchetta sandwich. A lot of online travel blogs recommended this place, and I can see why. We got there and the place was packed. It definitely has a grYou either sit and they take your order, or you walk up to the counter to get to go. It's definitely easier to order to go because the seats were scarce when we went for lunch. I can't remember exactly which porchetta sandwich I got, but man was it good. The bread had a nice crunch, and the contents of the sandwich especially the porchetta was scrumptious. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because we found a better place across town. Overall I definitely reccomend checking this place out for an authentic Italian porchetta sandwich experience. read more

Fantastic paninos with a endless combination of options to choose from. I grabbed 10 different types to take back to our hotel for a pool snack and every single one was a hit. The amount they had with truffles and other unusual fillings was great as you can easily accommodate the most discriminating eater. They also had a very cool selection of take away beers to choose from. Staff was all friendly and spoke very good English if your Italian is not great. Pricing for the quality and amount are great. read more

We did not intend to stop here for a meal, but we did. We shared a tuna salad and a sandwich. Perfect! We were famished after our Vatican Museum tour. The tuna salad was simple. You are given olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dress up the salad. The tuna, though! So tasty. We selected the paradiso sandwich. That bread! So crusty and chewy! The service friendly and efficient. Close to the Vatican Museum. Stop by before or after your visit. Enjoy! read more

The sandwiches we had were very tasty. The staff is very friendly. We ate here several times.

We grabbed some sandwiches before heading to the Vatican museum line. I ended up choosing one of the sandwiches with the top rated emoji next to it and my mom went for the choices with avocado. Sandwiches were made to order and right in front of your face. Take away is a euro cheaper across the board and they speak enough English to get your order in and made. Meat to bread ratio was a little thin but that's usually how it goes in Europe. By flavor was definitely there I just wish there was more spread or sauce used in the sandwiches. read more

Absolutely phenomenal- my wife and I shared the truffle Parma and the porchetta with peppers - Good God! They were both fantastic - literally wanted to kiss the chef. Great stop after your morning at the Vatican - EAT Here! read more

Ok- we've been back 4 times, maybe 5. I'm thinking we should just eat all our meals here. After our first adventure, eating at a table, we started taking food out- to savor at our bed and breakfast. I've had the Cenci (sp?) Duck and fennel and pumpkin, oh my! And it was GOOD, the Gesu- octopus (Delicious), The Guadalupe (prosciutto, smoked cheese and rocket), the St Iganzio- pork and other deliciousness- and other sandwiches whose names I cannot remember (one night stand sandwiches, as it were). Everything has been outstanding. And it's definitely a great deal. They'll do take out in a bag if you ASK for a bag- otherwise they wrap it up with an end exposed. But just ask them to bag it, and they will- they are so helpful and kind. There is a little basket for your old ticket number (when you order, they give you a receipt and a stub with a number- if you don't speak Italian, hold up your number when you think your order is up and they will identify you.) They've got a nice selection of beers- which I'm working through, and non alcholic drinks as well. This is just a great place. I'm going to try as many sandwiches as I can while I am in Rome- there's one with Escarole and capers and 2 kinds of ham that I've got my eye on for my next sandwich- I think it was called the Paradiso- sounds like paradise doesn't it? If you sit, you pay a different price- I think it's 1 euro more per sandwich. One night (for take out) our TWO sandwiches, which totally filled us up, only cost 11 euro! And it was fabulous- which is a lot more than I can say for some of the restaurants we've been to at 3X the price. Go here. Have lots of delicious food and thank your lucky stars you're not eating crappy pasta. read more

Great sandwich shop near the Vatican! Came after a morning tour for a quick lunch. Staff were very friendly and offered suggestions. We ended up sharing the pigneto and the collette (sp?). Both were food though not super generous with the toppings. I think it's about one layer of meat-think the opposite of Katz's in NYC. Nevertheless, the bread and ingredients were very fresh and the price was very reasonable for the portion size. read more

Great panini! After touring the Vatican and Basilica di San Pietro, we were quite hungry. Took out my Yelp app and it pointed me to Decent Gradi. Our tour guide also said that this place was legit. Employees are friendly and quick. The back of the restaurant has seats and servers. There is also outdoor seating with full service. The front of the restaurant is more of a grab and go type feel. There is a counter and you can enjoy your panini standing up without a server. Restrooms are in the back downstairs. The ingredients they use for their panini's are fresh and of good quality. The serving size is huge! We could have bought one and easily shared it. The bread was fresh, toasty on the outside and soft within. It all came together beautifully, with good flavor and spot on consistency. The price wasn't bad either, especially for the size of the panini. They have a variety of drinks too. read more

Great panini shop with lots of vegan options including vegan salami and vegan cheese. We've had 3 different sandwiches there and the Vegan Metronia one is the best!!!: Vegan Metronia (Best of all of the sandwiches): Vegan salami, cooked cicory with oil, garlic and chilli, 200° spicy sauce (homemade) and in Italian: Salame vegano, cicoria ripassata con aglio, olio e peperoncino, salsa piccante 200° (fatta in casa) Vegan Industria (the broccoli cream is excellent): Vegan salami, vegetable cheese, broccoli cream and in Italian: Salame vegetale, formaggio vegetale, crema di broccoli Vegan Campo Dei Fiori (it's pretty good): Vegetable salami, vegetable cheese, grilled eggplants, rocket salad, tabasco and in Italian: Salame vegetale, formaggio vegetale, melanzane grigliate They are pretty fast and the place is clean. I'm tall and the bathroom is downstairs and I had to duck down more than any other bathroom I've ever been too. Kinda cool though! read more

If you're craving an amazing panini, stop by after visiting Vatican City like I did; it's right outside the city walls. They have every type of panini possible; guaranteed quality meat, seafood, and even vegan options! They offer table service for €1 more per sandwich (€6 total). There weren't many tables, but we managed to get one after waiting a few minutes. Also, the paninis are HUGE with deliciously warm, crunchy bread. I asked the server which panini she recommended, and she named the risorgimento - it was awesome. It's base is salami and smoked cheese with spicy sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, and olive spread. I am blanking on the name of the panini my boyfriend ordered, but he loved it as I bet anyone else would with any selection on the menu! Definitely worth a try if you are in the area. read more

A fast paced panini shop with limited seating. You get in line, place your order and wait. OR you can be seated. We got ours to go and it was good. We probably could have split one, they are that big. Fresh bread with your choice of ingredients or one they already have designed - just order by name. I ordered the Montecitorioveg and added artichokes. It had vegan cheese, housemade 200 sauce, sun dried tomatoes, arugula. It was good enough that I want to duplicate it at home- I grabbed a to go menu so I knew what it had on it - now it's just tracking the menu down in everything I brought home. Super reasonable too. 2 sandwiches and a beer for 16 euro read more

This is a great little post-Vatican spot to grab lunch. It's about a 5 minute walk from the exit; and after a long tour, who wants to roam around (pun intended) looking for a decent place to get some food without having to go through the rigamarole of doing one of those multi-course sessions that Italians love so much (I like them, too, but after a 3-hour tour, I just want a quick bite). When we walked up to the deli (which is a way to describe this venue), one of the servers made sure to let us know that this place is only for sandwiches and salads. There is a good amount of seating inside, as well as a detached patio that is on the sidewalk. The Panini's are excellent, and the salad was very fresh. Given the proximity to the Vatican, as well as the comparatively subpar spots that are peppered around this neighborhood, I would highly recommend this place for a quick Panini and/or salad after a tour of the Holy City. read more

First meal in Rome on the late night because of a flight delay. I was just aimlessly roaming the streets the inn I was staying for the night by the Vatican last night. And I stumbled into their establishment and saw their menu posted outside. Low and behold, they had a whole page of vegan options. I got the vegan RISORGIMENTO. What we say in the Bay Area, "That sh*t smaaacked!" (translation" "that sandwich was delicious!" Lol). The sun-dried tomatoes and their spicy sauce was just...*chef's kiss * I had plans on going to the Vatican this morning to do some site seeing and have it AGAIN for lunch. But change of plans where I gotta check-in my other commendation sooner. But I'm circling back tomorrow to the Vatican and best believe I'm going here AGAIN. read more

Hands down our favorite sandwich while in Roma! After a long day at the Vatican and having some not so good pizza in the museum, we were starving and I had been in Italy for a few days now and just really wanted a sandwich. We came across Duecento Gradi and saw that they had sandwiches so we decided to get a table. It was very modernly yet retro styled with red shiny stools and white high-top tables. We each spotted what we wanted and were eager to get our orders. We also ordered a glass of wine and a beer. My hubby got the Risorgimento which had salami, smoked cheese, sundried tomatoes, arugula or "rocket salad" as they call it and olive cream. He couldn't stop thinking about the sandwich...and probably still dreams about it now a few months later. My sandwich was priscuitto, arugula, cheese and some kind of spread and was salty, savory and perfect. We enjoyed the glass of wine and beer as well. When the bill came and I saw that my wine was 6 euro instead of the 4 euro I thought, I questioned the waitress and she had thought I asked for the 6 euro one (which I maybe did due to the language barrier) but to correct it she offered me a cup of coffee on the house which was very much appreciated. A definite must visit if you're in the area! read more

Rating: 78/100 pts Visiting Vatican City means you'll be bathing in the awe of St. Peter's Basilica, enjoying treasured artifacts at the Vatican Museum, and marveling at the Sistine Chapel. But how does the hungry foodie fare? Unfortunately, not good. There are barely any worthwhile restaurants, with most places touting that they have English menus for touristy pizza and pasta. Panini specialty shop Duecento Gradi stands in sharp contrast to this. Led by a young, hip staff, they have an extensive menu of panini varieties (about 60 or so) to choose from, including some specials using seasonal ingredients (written only inside), all in the €5-7 range. Despite its affordability, I found the sandwiches to be of great quality. They use an eclectic range of fresh ingredients (the first thing you see showcased on entering), and the bread, which is produced specifically for this shop by a bakery, is served freshly pressed. Many of their sandwiches are named after famous Romans or areas in Rome. I went with the Augusto Imperatore--prosciutto, brie cheese, walnut sauce, and arugula--which I'm sure is what the emperor himself would have put on his panini. (Actually, no tomatoes means it's at least chronologically accurate.) It was so good that I regretted not being able to try the others. These panini are pressed thin, and offer the perfect snack without being overly filling. When traveling in Italy, I typically did a light breakfast, and then one main meal and one quick meal for either lunch or dinner. On the day you visit the Vatican, (assuming you're doing the same) I recommend grabbing your quick meal here, and then eating like a true emperor when you're back in Rome. Pleasantly free wifi. read more

Rated as a top panino-eria in Rome by a local Italian, I thought it would've been a mistake not to give it a try. When I saw the line of shivering bodies outside of the shop, it reaffirmed my decision. As I was waiting in line, I became mesmerized by the prep process - the steamy bread sliced open effortlessly and the quick movements in dressing the panini in meat and cheese put me in a state of stupor. Or it could've been the hunger. The wait was a solid 15 minutes to order and then another 10-15 to have them in our hands. Was it worth it? Sort of. The porcini, sausage, and pecorino sandwich was incredible. The flavors came together perfectly. However, the bresaola and pecorino sandwich was OK. After a short while, the bread became quite stiff and was difficult to eat. Not sure if overall it was worth the wait, but glad we have it a try. read more

Great place to hop in for a delicious healthy and fast snack/meal. Just in front of Piazza Risorgimento close to Vatican Museums, this nice spot offers you a wide selection of savoury and sweet paninis with a great attention to quality of their ingridients!

Must stop in Rome! Grab a sandwich and go or do like we did and sit at a small table outside. A little more money to sit but EXCELLENT BEER SELECTION and fantastic panini type sandwiches! Good prices. Two people - 2 sandwiches, 3 beers and water with service for $25 euro. Amazing meats and toppings. Everything fresh and staff very nice. So good we are going back before we leave! Soft light bread that holds up the sandwich ingredients very well. Recommend getting two sandwiches and split them to try different things. They cut them in half so perfect to share. Great option when touring the Vatican. Right across the street but very local. read more

Duecento is my absolute favorite place in Rome to grab a panino. I frequented it weekly when I studied abroad and have stopped in for lunch every time I've returned to Rome. Yes, it's in a super touristy area and it looks pretty commercial so it lacks that Italian charm but the panini are out of this world. The ingredients are plentiful and always fresh. They have a huge menu so there is definitely something for everyone. My favorite is the risorgimento...the bread is thick and crusty, the meat is sliced thin, the sun dried tomatoes and the rocket add some nice texture and the sauce is the perfect way to top it all off. Grab a panino and walk to the vatican or sit outside on the curb and enjoy every last bite! read more

Came here because this place has high fairly high reviews. The panini was honestly subpar. Nothing quite special about it. The cashier in the front was really shady. She miscalculated the amount of money that she needed to return to my friend. She owed around 10 euros but tried to take it away from my friend. Wouldn't have gone back anyways because the paninis weren't great but the service was even worse than the panini. The waiter was really nice but the woman in the front ruined the our experience here. read more

Duecento Gradi is one of those unassuming eateries among many panino places to choose from in Rome. What makes Duecento Gradi a stand out is their quality fresh ingredients, comfortable atmosphere, and courteous service. Upon walking into this clean, nicely air conditioned establishment, you'll be casually greeted by staff while given ample time to look over their well laid out menu of sandwich selections before ordering at the counter. To better prepare, you might want to check out their convenient online menu before visiting. We arrived after our early morning tour of the Sistine Chapel and Vatican just in time to feed our hunger.....which meant the place was empty since it's much too early by Italian standards. Sure, some people may not be pleased by the small surcharge for inside seating, but it was well worth the few euros for us to dine in climate controlled comfort. As an added benefit, they also provide a very tidy restroom for their patrons. As for the food, they deserve every excellent review ever written, because their paninos are absolutely exceptional. The signature bread they've meticulously created has a crusty, chewy exterior paired with the delicate, soft texture of the interior. We chose the Mortedella/Artichoke and the Mortedella/Eggplant which were both outstanding and surprisingly filling for what appeared to be an "under-stuffed" sandwich by American standards. If our stomachs could've been any roomier, we would've kept ordering because it was just that delicious! But even though we had finished devouring our food in no time, they kindly and quietly allowed us to linger as long as we wished.....which was quite some time considering we were tired from walking the Vatican City. All in all, Duecento Gradi is among one of our best memories of eating in Rome. This place is not to be missed if you're in the area. read more

AWESOME sandwich shop right outside of the Vatican! Never thought a "fast food" place would be among my favorites in Italy, but alas...

Delicious Sammie's! We had a salmon sandwich and a shrimp sandwich, both were really good. It was like eating a couple of Po'' Boys in a flaky panini.
