    Hands down the BEST sandwich in Roma!!! Trust me when I say this! So simple yet so flavorful and delicious! I'll be back again!!
    Monica F.

    Hands-down, the BEST sandwich in Roma!!! I got the Porchetta and it was delicious!! Simple yet so flavorful and delicious! I will be back for sure!! The uncle and nephew duo are so sweet too!!

    Porchetta Panini

    Great panni, small walk up counter. Always busy.Located on side street near Piazza de Popolo. We had the Porchetta Panni with Stracciatella cheese. The two brothers running the place are very welcoming speaking English to us non Italian speakers. Credit card accepted.

    The. Bobby. Flay. I mean even the Chef/Lead who met Bobby Flay said that Bobby Flay knows his flavors and is a genius. While we had all'antico vinaio multiple times during our trip - La Vita E'un Mozzico is worth a stop too! We ordered the Bobby Flay (featuring porchetta, stracciatella, pesto). Served warm and wow their porchetta is next level. It was sooo flavorful. I wish I ate it warm because consuming it the next day made the texture with the stracciatella & pork skin/fat texture a bit too similar but it was still very delicious!! They can make any sandwich with the items in their case. From there, you pay by weight!

    Porchetta, presto, and burrata. Pretty perfect.

    Long line but worth the wait. Amazing bread, porchetta, and cheese. Enough for two meals. There's no seating or toilet, so be prepared to take it somewhere or eat on the street.

    The panino shop close to Piazza del Poppolo. An American celebrity chef! Bobby Flay's photo!

    I stumbled up the tiniest panino shop very close to Piazza del Poppolo. There was a short line, so (why not?) I joined in. Once inside, I spied a photo of Bobby Flay (!), the Food Network celebrity chef. The owner said Bobby was filming in the area and stopped in to enjoy a porchetta panino. Nice! I tried the porchetta panino with pesto spread which the shop owner said was Bobby's favorite. I added some slices of eggplant to it. It was tasty. The bread was sliced to make it thinner then placed into a sandwich press to warm it up. I think the foccacia bread could be fresher. The porchetta was not tender and cold. I think San Francisco's Roli Roti does a better porchetta sandwich than this shop. RR serves fresh porchetta just off the spit. You'll have to stop in and check out this Roman panino shop where Giada DeLaurentis & Bobby Flay have given a thumbs up. Take out only.

    Get the "bobby flay" sandwich.. just add a bit more pesto to get the flavor. Overall the bread was very light porchetta was on spot too! Definitely a place I would go back. The patrons were very nice and helpful

    Long line moved along quickly

    Huge sandwich well worth 7-mins in line and figuring out what ingredients to lay on thin-yet-crispy bread. Ordered Bobby Flay Special (delicious but watch for large pieces of seasoned pork skin) and Porchetta Cubano (watch for crispy fried salty pork rine). Super reasonably priced, exceptionally filling, the two very congenial chefs spoke decent broken English and loved whipping out sandwiches.

    Perfect sandwich

    Best sandwich in Rome! The service was excellent and we ordered Bobby Flay's special sandwich. The restaurant is next to a mini supermarket so you can have a great italian beer like Birra Moretti while you wait your turn in line. Definitely recommend 100%

    I miss the food in Rome so much. This was one of my favorite locations I visited for a quick meal in between museums. Staff was so friendly. My lack of Italian didn't bother them at all. I really love when restaurants don't make you feel like a tourists. Small shop but there's no need to be inside until you order. Be prepared for a small wait as this is one of the higher rated locations on TripAdvisor.

    Sandwich Shop.

    Sandwich was so incredibly good. I do not speak Italian but the guys behind the counter got my order exactly. They are awesome.

    Great food! Everything was delicious and made with freshly sliced cured meats. The service was very kind and patient, as my Italian is not very good. The gentleman who prepared my ordered spoke English and helped me order. It is a small shop to quickly get in and out. The bread is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. Would visit this place again!

    Right after ordering. Got some help from the workers on what to get and they steered me in the right direction!

    This is the best sandwich I have ever had. I got truffle ham with strattitella and pesto. So delish. My dad got porchetta with the same cheese and pesto and his was phenomenal also. Bobby Flay loves this place and the workers seem so proud of it. They were very helpful and friendly when ordering! We got whatever they said was best. Definitely try this out if you're in Rome!

    I wanted something local, authentic, and no frills for my birthday dinner in Rome and found this…read moreplace with countless positive reviews. We made a reservation online, arrived about 20 minutes early, and they gladly sat us right down. While we were there we noticed plenty of locals eating, chatting with the servers in Italian, and having a blast, which is always a green flag. The menu leans traditional Roman; extensive, with plenty of pasta, meats, and fish. The supplì classico and the cacio e pepe one were both phenomenal. We also had the all'amatriciana and carbonara, and both were divine. After a week traveling through Europe, my husband said this was his favorite meal and restaurant of the trip. It was a top one for me too. We also ordered the oxtail; delicious, but I'm not sure I'd get it again since you get two pieces that are mostly bone. I know that's just how oxtail is, but I was expecting a little more. The panna cotta for dessert was a great choice too. Service was fine, nothing to write home about, but honestly I appreciated how rough around the edges it was. They kept it real; don't come expecting fancy restaurant service. This is a place you go to for authentic food and flavors. We sat outside on the sidewalk, great for people watching, though they had plenty of space inside and even multiple floors. Oh, and the house wine was delicious and a great deal. Our entire meal only came to €70, the cheapest dinner we had in Italy. Definitely try it if you're in Rome.

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

It's intimate, cozy authentic Italian charm. The staff here are wonderfully kind and welcoming, making an already memorable meal feel even more special. Show up right at opening if you want to secure a table immediately, as this local treasure fills up incredibly fast! We started with the artichoke, which was quite possibly the best artichoke I've ever tasted in my life. Ubelievably tender and served bathed in rich olive oil that elevated every single bite. The Amatriciana was my personal favorite dish of the night, featuring a rich red sauce packed with a subtle kick of heat and finished with a generous dusting of fresh Parmesan. The stuffed chicken was remarkably tender, juicy, and wonderfully seasoned with delicate flavors that don't overpower. Lastly, the lasagna was everything a classic lasagna should be: wonderfully cheesy and deeply comforting, yet light enough that it doesn't weigh you down. Easily one of my favorite dining spots in all of Europe. I already can't wait for the day I get to return again!

I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.
