This ended up our least favorite of all restaurant establishments we sampled however, which still ranks a 3 or maybe a 3.5 in comparison to what might be available in the US. The bruschetta with fresh tomatoes was good, the version with a liver pate was not as exciting - so in retrospect just get all tomatoes version. Half the amount (4 pieces instead of 8) might have been better for the two of us also. My rigatoni carbonara was very good, flavorful and delicious, cooked perfectly al dente. My husband's veggie meatballs were dry and not exciting at all, they needed a sauce and some actual veggies. He described them like a falafel ball with very little veggies in the mix. I did not even try them as I am a much pickier foodie than he is. Each entree came with one side, and he got the grilled potatoes so not a great combination - too starch-heavy without actual veggies in the veggie-balls. My broccoli side was actually romanascu and it was very good. The interior of the restaurant was very hot, so we sat outside which was unexpectedly noisy due to the kitchen fan. However, the main reason we ranked down, was due to the end of evening experience, which we found unprofessional. Our waiter was cordial and helpful throughout, and even took a photo for us. However at the end he insisted upon us handing him a cash tip, and hovered at our table until it was provided. We had read that tipping is not the same in Italy and that tips are provided as a compliment but not as a percentage as we do in US. We found the request/demand for a tip to be quite uncomfortable, and it was the only time this happened to us in Italy (other than a run in with an unauthorized baggage handler at the train). It may be a cultural issue, as the staff at this restaurant is Moroccan or perhaps Bangladeshi. However, it felt like taking advantage of tourists and it was uncomfortable and stayed with us as part of the experience not being ideal.

The seating is partially on the sidewalk and has a nice canopy covering the space. Looks a little dinky in person actually. Food wise, I started off with their standard salad which was surprisingly delicious. The topping and dressing paired perfectly and made for an unexpected treat. I then had some baked chicken with a side of broccoli. Chicken was good but broccoli was delicious. Steamed and seasoned perfectly. As good as the food was though, the chicken and broccoli came out barely room temperature, which obviously takes away from the meal. Aside from that, it was a very good experience with good food.

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.

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!

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 !

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.
