Little gem in a big city! This place is a small little place but the staff is very friendly and the coffee is very tasty. I had a chocolate croissant and it tasted very delicious. I love that they have all these recipe books lying around. read more

Cons: -None, although I wish that apple dessert had a vegan option. It looked so good! Overall: -Highly recommend!

We were tired from walking all day at the Colosseum and Roman Forum, so just wanted to take it easy with pizza, pasta, and wine for an early dinner. We got a bottle of sangiovese, the quatro formaggio pizza, and the rigatoni alla amatriciana. We especially loved the honey on the pizza, which paired perfectly with the wine. Service was friendly and the ambiance was relaxing at the outdoor tables. We were surrounded by fellow tourists, likely due to the early hour, but we didn't mind!

They have a small pizza and a bigger size which I would say is about 10 inches. The small size was sold out on my first visit and found out better to arrive earlier (before 6) for these. The Mini pies are good if you want to try a few varieties-so many so little time. Ordered the big Amatriciana (the unloved pasta dish of the big Roman four as a pizza) which was recommended-Pecorino, mozzarella with the Pork cheeks taking it over the top-one of their most popular and rightfully so! On the second visit , they had the small size pies-Friarielli & Salsiccia-Broccoli Rave and sausage-tasty, Fegato & Cipolla-pork liver sausage with onions and peppers made for a "not everyday" and delicious pie. Both visits service was excellent and engaged. This place screams independent and one of a kind but it turns out they are a regional chain with a handful of locations. Amazing pizza with so many options!

Plus, the space is very hot inside, but better to sit near the window or do takeaway. I wasn't very hungry, but wanted one last pizza in Italy. When I saw that this spot does mini pizzas, which means I was able to choose a variety of flavors; I was so excited! Unfortunately, they ran out of the mini pizza dough and only had the large. It really is a shame, because I didn't think the bigger version is worth €15 each. Nonetheless, I ordered the Burrata & Anchovies while the husband got Pepperoni. I really did enjoy the flavor and chewiness of the dough. The burrata also gave it such a nice creaminess to balance the pizza that worked perfectly. Sadly, I had to waste a slice because I couldn't finish the larger pizza, so still a bit upset that I couldn't order the mini. With that said, it's a delicious pizza spot.

The Mr. chose one of their best sellers, the Sedici which had porchetta (roasted pork), tuna sauce (mayo), and sun dried tomatoes. It was #16. I got the #10 which is turkey, blue cheese, caramelized onions, and zucchini. I asked if I could substitute mozzarella for the blue cheese, because I am not a fan of eating anything that doesn't smell good, however in this case I should have left it as designed. I think the funk of the blue cheese would have paired nicely with the sweetness of the caramelized onions. It is a tiny little place, so we were lucky to nab a seat. The next time I am in Rome, I will be back!

We ordered one of their more natural red wines available chilled, and Pane & Olio EVOO, and Salsiccette al Tartufo. The bread was so fresh (baked in house daily), and also came with a spicy olive oil option as well as salt and pepper and a plate to dip. The sausage was the perfect little snacking cup with toothpicks and overall everything went well with our wine. They also gave us the little circular baked crackers to dip in our wine. When we were called we were moved to the main dining area which was adorable. Nearly every table had unique artwork on the surrounding walls. We then ordered more of the same wine, the Bonaccia salad, and the Parmigiana di Melanzane con Ricotta Salata. The salad was SO good. It was perfect with lemon and delicious olive oil dressing and an even mix of lettuce, cooked diced potatoes, olives, octopus, sundried cherry tomatoes. The eggplant was a fantastic texture, not too soft but tender and the cheese on it was immaculate. We were too full for dessert but the waiter offered us free limoncello shots as a night cap. My favorite part of this spot was how fun and kind the staff were to us. Letting me practice my Italian, giving great recommendations and overall being super accomodating. I'd love to come back.

We went to Pane e Salame for lunch and were shocked we were able to grab a table. This was in September, and I don't think that would've happened in the summer. It's right by the Trevi Fountain, so it's a chaotic and busy area, which made it even more of a pleasant surprise to eat inside. They also have lovely outdoor tables. The sandwiches were phenomenal. The bread was unlike anything I've had, toasted to perfection. I had a sandwich with tartare and smoked cheese, my husband had the roast beef one, and we split and traded halves. I honestly couldn't pick a favorite because both were so good. Paired with their house white, it was the perfect, if very heavy, lunch. We ended up walking four miles afterward just to make room for dinner. If you're not that hungry, splitting one sandwich is probably the smarter move. This is going to be our first stop when we go back to Rome.
