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.

Immediately after walking in the owner was yelling & rushing us. I understand the language barrier can be difficult, but she was downright rude.

First for everything I guess, but the way she aggressively spoke & acted as though we were a nuisance to her establishment when we're trying to support & do business was very unprofessional.

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.

How do I describe how amazing a fluffy, hot bread stuffed with perfectly thin slices of tomato, fresh zucchini and stringy cheese can be. Simple and incredible. I had to do a few double takes every couple of bites and reassure myself there was no prosciutto or meat inside because it was THAT good. The focaccia classica is also amazing and I'm pretty sure I fell a little in love after glimpsing in the kitchen just as the salt was being delicately tossed on top in a sort of romantic waltz. Or maybe it was the Peroni.

Pane e Salame, however, was delicious!!!! On our first day in Rome, my husband and I decided to search for a lunch spot nearby (we were staying near the Trevi fountain), and I found this place had pretty good reviews. We got there about an hour after it opened and requested a seat outdoors. They have a tiny patio across from their entrance, but they fit quite a bit of people in it! We initially wanted to order two sandwiches to try more items, but I'm glad we just shared one - they were big and filling! We also had the small charcuterie board to share which was plenty of food for us both. We shared a bottle of rose, and all in all, we paid under $50 (usd) - what a steal! This was the perfect first meal in Rome. The food was incredibly fresh, the service was great, and the outdoor seating allowed us to experience the streets of Rome. 10/10 - would absolutely go back.

But overall, I would recommend to go here. Amo questo posto! Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo preso diversi panini e li abbiamo condivisi tutti. Abbiamo preso un grande piatto di cibo che era abbastanza grande da sfamare 10 persone! I nostri panini erano tagliati a metà e una metà era sufficiente per saziare una persona media. Abbiamo preso cinque panini per solo circa 30€! Il posto non era una trappola per turisti, ma devo dire che i sedili nel booth (il tavolo con divanetti) erano scomodi per me, e il locale era un po' piccolo. Scusate se non ho foto. Ma nel complesso, lo consiglierei di andarci.

They also sell cheese, truffles, dried and fresh pasta, sauces, and other wares of that variety. The staff is very helpful and friendly. If you're in the rione of Monti, its worth a stop for a quick lunch.
