Tiny place specializing in one thing, PORCHETTA. The world needs more places like this with the owners passion. The house special on bread or by itself is well worth the trIP outside the touristy center. The house wines are affordable and more than palatable. Cash only.

Porchette sandwich was incredible - this is a tiny place with small menu and a few sidewalk tables. Cash only. Definitely recommend for something other than pizza or pasta when in Rome.

Huge porchetta on display!
Janice C.

This is the little restaurant that could. Owner Alessandro is your chef, waiter and entertainer. He continues the same family tradition for 5 generations, specializing in one thing and one thing only: PORCHETTA. You've never met a pork like this: it's like crack! It's roasted for 4 hours, this is a salty, seasoned pork with a super crispy skin. Your mouth will water as you look at this tempting porchetta on display, while he carves off pieces for you and stuffs it in a crusty roll or simply serve it on a parchment paper. You will need vino bianco (or rosso) to wash the whole thing down. The place is frequented by a mix of locals and tourists, and by the looks of his thick binder of a guest book (we signed it of course!) people from all over the world have discovered this amazing place. Tight quarters, convivial locals, curious tourists and great food. Most importantly, cheap at €3 a sandwich! It is such a bargain, even your mother will approve!

Porchetta Baguette (3.50 euros)
Hannah R.

My friends and I stopped by this place to grab a porchetta baguette before starting our busy day touring Italy. So this was our first porchetta baguette in Italy and I didn't have any expectations when I first walked in. It's a tiny hole in the wall and they slice the meet right near the door, which is cool to see. There isn't really anywhere to sit especially for a big party like us. We ended up just standing outside while eating our baguettes. The porchetta was itself tasted really good. It was juicy, and not too salty. Unfortunately I was not very impressed with the overall proportion of the baguette to the porchetta. The bread was dry and was way too much considering the small amount of porchetta that was inside. I also found out afterwards you could have ordered additional toppings to go inside. I think having some toppings would've made it sooo much better IMO. Overall, I tried better porchetta baguettes while in Italy, so would probably not go back to spend another 3.50 euros.

This is literally a hole in a wall, but they are serving some serious porchetta in here. I stopped by around 11 am for breakfast. Seriously, porchetta for breakfast - it is heaven. This place isn't big. There barely is room for five people in here, but this porchetta is absolutely amazing for take-away as well, just as I did. I choose some sliced porchetta with a white roll. Not a sandwich, yet nothing fancy here. Plain, simple and good. I will admit; I was expecting a more generous amount of porchetta, but then; I paid 3,5€ for this combo. Not bad. The porchetta was lovely. I missed some crunchy crackling from the porchetta, but the taste of the porchetta meat itself made up for that. The white roll was fine. Nothing high quality, sourdough, wholegrain, rye - nothing healthy at all. Just a plain white roll and it worked very well. The bread was perfect with a perfect crust. I would gladly come back. A tip; get yourself some porchetta for your flight as it is located very close to the Termini station. You will save money and get a much, much more delicious meal than in any airport.

Small shop. Get in, sit down, and eat. There's pretty much only one thing to order here, which is the pork Panini. It's good, but I think the meat to bread ratio was off. Don't get me wrong because the bread is tasty. However I think I would've like the platter better than the Panini. No worries though, it was still tasty and a great value. Definitely a good snack for a foodie!

The man, the pig, and the best take out (or sandwich) I'll ever get.
Mimi B.

I'm in love. With Alessandro's porchetta. He's building on the past 4 generations of pork perfection. If in Roma and you appreciate pork (and by appreciate I mean you love and would eat no other meat for the rest of your life) you must eat at ER Buchetto. It's simple, three tables, maybe 100 s.f. and a pig. So go there for amazing pork (make it a sandwich if you want, I'd go with the plate), get a smooth half liter of red red wine (from the tap, perfect temp) and for 6/7 € you won't get just an amazing slice of pork but experience a slice of time uninterrupted. If you go, per favore (please) be a good tourist, gratzie (thank you).

Pommodoro with olive oil drizzle. I swear that even the tomatoes taste better in Italy!

Meat is ok, the owner was very nice, but unsanitary. Touching everything including money then cuts the meat without washing or using gloves.

While in Rome and this being one of the top sandwich places I had to try this…read more Thankfully I was here in the evening and there was no line. This place inside looks amazing and you can tell right away your sandwich will be worth your time!!! I got the BADA COME LA FUMA which had Porchetta, smoked provola, roasted potato cream, and spicy eggplant. What an amazing sandwich not to mention the bread perfect and fresh. My wife got the LA CHIANINA which had Marinated Chianina beef, stracciatella cheese, yellow and red tomatoes, and arugula Both sandwiches were definitely worth the hype and if I ever go back to Rome I'm definitely coming back here for sure!

Rome Day 5: A must-try Italian street food experience…read more.. While exploring Rome, we had to stop at All'Antico Vinaio for one of their famous schiacciata sandwiches. The bread, the flavors, the fresh ingredients, and the whole experience made this more than just lunch -- it was a taste of Italian food culture. Fun fact: All'Antico Vinaio started as a small family business in Florence in 1989 and became famous for its traditional Tuscan schiacciata sandwiches. Over time, it grew into an internationally recognized brand, with locations including Rome. What I loved most was being able to experience something that began as a local Italian tradition and has now become a place people travel to try. Another delicious memory added to our Rome adventure.

I'm from the Portland, Oregon foodie area. I'm serious about flavor. I also lived in Central…read moreAmerica for a couple years and left fearful of pig product but my husband convinced me to try this place. Our first trip to Rome was a gastric punishment. People served poor quality high priced food. We learned our lesson for this second trip and are using Yelp too. Thanks to Yelp and Pane & Vino, our first meal in Rome was fantastic!!!! All the sandwiches have this incredible and well seasoned juicy roast of pork except one which is the burger. Each sandwich has a different bread...red is colored with tomatoes from Mt Vesuvius. Black is colored with squid ink (don't worry there's zero squid flavor). Yellow is colored with Turmeric! My husband got the burger. It was absolutely delicious! I got the special...HELLO! Incredible and big so you can totally share it or take your time they don't push you out. There's alcoholic options along with sodas and waters to drink. The owner is wonderful! He refers to his restaurant as his house (so he'd never charge a fee for you to sit and eat there) and his menu items, creations, are his "children." He speaks 6 languages fluently so no worries if you don't speak Italian, he also speaks English, Spanish, French, and then 2 others that aren't Latin based. (He also speaks an additional 2 dialects not so fluently but hey, he's doing well in my book and very helpful to the 4 different couples and families that were in his tiny restaurant while we were there. Eat here afterwards before your Coliseum tour. Also, he's happy to give you suggestions for the area...he recommended a gem nearby of ST Clementine basilica to go check out some newly discovered ruins! It was incredible and we would have never known without him offering. We loved the food so much that we made it our last meal before leaving Rome as well!

A yummy thing happened on the way to the Colosseum …read more.. Pane & Vino is a tiny sandwich shop near il Colosseo that specializes in local porchetta (stuffed pork loin) and is run by the friendliest owner of all time. He gets to know every customer on a first name basis. I'd go back more to see him than to have a sandwich. Seriously, he's pretty awesome. The menu is simple and focused on sandwiches featuring their famous porchetta so we tried two recommendations from the peppy proprietor. While waiting, I got a miniature bottle of Chardonnay and my spouse sipped a Coke Zero. The Traiano Porchetta sandwich (12€ - 4 stars) is an original creation of the out-going owner with a mighty Mustard-flavored blend of Roast Pork, Sun-dried Tomatoes, and Grilled Eggplant. I like mustard and, therefore, liked this specialty much more than my wife, but we ended up ignoring portions of the so-so bun. Pane & Vino Special Porchetta (12€ - 4 stars) was a huge sandwich with the sliced Roast Pork Porchetta plus Mozzarella Cheese, Grilled Eggplant, Grilled Peppers, Mushrooms, Lettuce, and Mayo on classic Italian Pane. It needed more mayonnaise or a sprinkle of balsamic and olive oil for my tastes, but there was no denying it was a hearty hero. There are lots of pane bread and sandwich shops in Rome, but there is only one -- Pane & Vino -- run by the most welcoming of owners ever. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll be sure to stop in for a casual chat and some yummy porchetta sandwiches on the way to the Colosseum.

We went on a nice rainy day - walked about a mile from the train station.. wow! that was worth it! We are a group of 10 people! We got mostly the Bobby Flay special, with nice pizza crust as the sandwich, pesto sauce , porchetta and stachiatella cheese .. I had a full sandwich and my niece also gave me half of hers with prosciutto and swiss ( she likes plain) and wow! I was savoring this ... and now it's imprinted in my palate. Also they had Bobby flay Picture on the wall. When we ordered they say " Thank You Bobby Flay!" and we laughed because they are very funny ! I have no pictures but will save money to go to Tome and visit them again!!!

When I arrived there was no line, so maybe I got lucky, just one couple in front of me already inside the shop. Take a number and wait your turn. It's worth it. Sandwiches are made on pizza bianca, a crisp and chewy flatbread native to Rome. They will fill your sandwich with whatever you like, and then weigh the sandwich to price it out. I got mortadella, stracciatella, pesto and sun-dried tomatoes. The sandwich was phenomenal, so delicious and memorable that I recreated it when I got home to the US, bread and all. The sandwiches may seem simple but the ingredients are the best around which really takes things to the next level. Don't miss it if you're in Rome.
