A yummy thing happened on the way to the Colosseum ... 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. read more

Great little shop with excellent service from the owner. I ordered the Traiano and the boyfriend got the Palatino. We shared the two and some Menabrea beer. Both sandwiches were delicious and the perfect bite after the coliseum! The owner was super friendly and helpful and even recommended a place for us to visit "the Roman Keyhole" - a great find and a well deserved five stars. Thanks again yelp! read more

Why 5 stars? Because everything about the experience was great! --- --- --- When researching where we planned to eat lunch, the decision was made pretty quickly, once I saw a 5-star average at a place that was a short walk from the Coliseum. And for me, it lived up to the hype of that great rating. This is a very small shop - about 8 seats for customers, and we were lucky enough to score 2 of them. The person who obviously seemed to be the owner was very friendly and checked on everyone in the restaurant to make sure we were all pleased. We had been on a prosciutto and mozzarella kick since we arrived in Italy, so when I saw the sandwich version of that, I didn't even have to look closely at the rest of the menu. It ended up totally hitting the spot, and is something I wish I could eat every week! Damn that whole "different continent from where I live" thing. My wife ordered a meatball sandwich and I'll admit, it wasn't nearly as delicious as mine. This was the only miss, in my opinion, because everything else was great. Bonus: they served bottles of Coke Zero with Lemon here, and I absolutely loved it. I assumed that we would see this all over Italy, but Pane & Vino ended up being the only place we visited that carried it. Note to all the high-level Coke distributors who read Yelp reviews: that stuff needs to be at every business that carries your products! read more

I had one of the best sandwiches and burgers in my life here! The pork sandwich and the burger were both freaking amazing! I had a bite of the burger that another patron was kind enough to share. This is a short walk from the Colosseum. The owner is very passionate about sandwiches! The pork sandwich had a turmeric bun and the burger a squid ink bun. Nothing like it! Check this place out after taking pics at the Colosseum! read more

For my 1000th review, I wanted to give a HUUUUUGE shout out to Pane & Vino and the owner, Fabio, for truly presenting the best sandwiches and the kindest hospitality to my husband and I during our lunch visit. I had seen the positive Yelp reviews and was eager to enjoy a meal here during our stay in Rome. We tried to visit first around 12:30pm, however, a group of six (including 2 young kids) occupied all of the stools, and when I very kindly asked if the parents would not mind having one of the toddlers sit on their lap so we could share one chair between us I was met with a barrage of hostility-literally asking me if I know how to count 6 people for 6 chairs. Before anything escalated (because I was pretty astonished at their behavior and audacity), we left, toured the Roman Forum and returned around 2pm to try again. At 2pm it was less crowded and there were two stools available. When we went to thecounter to order, the owner, Fabio, recognized us from earlier and asked what the problem had been. When I explained, he apologized for their behavior (nothing for him to be sorry about obviously) and told us that they were quite rude to him and his staff as well. He thanked us for returning and said he wanted to put a smile on my face by the time I left, and promised his sandwiches would do so. They did, but Fabio's conversation and passion for his food did that even prior to me tasting anything. After our meal, he even gave us a map of Rome and little known places to visit that are cool, such as the Aventine Keyhole and the rose garden. Now for the food. I ordered the special porchetta, their most popular sandwich. It has roast pork, buffalo mozzarella, grilled eggplant, grilled peppers, mushrooms, lettuce, and just a tad bit of mayo to tie everything together. Not only was the portion gigantic-easily could have fed 2 people-but the flavors were amazing! The bread was fresh and nicely toasted and the pork was very tender. This is a very, very messy sandwich so be prepared with the napkins! My husband ordered the Poppea-parma raw ham, buffalo mozzarella, and rocket salad. He loved his sandwich and shared my sentiments about the fresh ingredients! Fabio was also kind enough to give us each a free chocolate mousse cup which was so,so creamy and delicious! They have a cooler of drinks plus wine (obviously) and beer. We both really enjoyed our beer selections. Prices are super reasonable and if there is no room to dine in-and it's not 100 degrees outside-feel free to get your sandwich to carry out and enjoy in one of the many parks or piazzas nearby. The location near the Colosseum makes this ideal for a lunch spot after touring around. read more

If Fabio is here, you're in for an absolute treat. He has run this place for seven years, invented the menu, and is happy to entertain. If he's not, the food will be just as good, but you won't get his service- which is incredible. If you want someone friendly to answer any questions you have in English, French, German, Italian, or Arabic, then Fabio is your man. He also has some stories! In addition, the food itself is great. Sandwiches are diverse and interesting with all fresh ingredients. One of the breads is made with tomatoes. Seriously. And it tastes incredible. read more

Yummy, yummy sandwiches in my tummy. We were exploring Rome and were going to tour the Colosseum (Italian spelling). We were all hangry. So, we decided to eat before we toured. My brother did his yelp research (as I advised him to do) and we were led here. Did you guys know, I don't eat beef or pork? I dated a guy eons ago that didn't eat beef or pork and when we broke up, that behavior stuck. My hubby is trying to convert me, as he thinks I converted for a man in my past and I should now convert for my current. Don't tell him, but I don't miss beef or pork. However, I love him as my ONE and ONLY. Well, I say all this to say that this restaurant (more like a dive) had one meal on the menu that I could order - Ostiliano (breaded chicken breast, tomatoes, salad and mayonnaise). I ordered the meal with french fries. They were out of potatoes/french fries. I was a sad woman. However, when I received my sandwich I was ready to pounce. I asked for ketchup on the side as I had asked for no mayo on my sandwich. My sandwich was SO good...with ketchup. Without ketchup, it was a bit dry. The bread was soft, with the right amount of crunchiness. My chicken was perfectly cooked, just needed some sauce and juices. All in all, it was delicious. My brother and his girlfriend ordered a meatball sub and the special (a pork sub). They raved about both, but they preferred the meatball sub. My hubby got the pork special, but didn't love it. I can honestly say, I loved this little hole in the wall place. read more

Found Pane & Vino on yelp while looking for a quick bite around the colosseum area. Wanted to get off the beaten path. This place is AWESOME!!! I can't say enough good things about this location. As others have said, get the porchetta sandwich. This is huge and the price is right. The seating here is limited so know that going in. When I say it's limited, I am not joking. You will understand when you get there. The service was good and it was a nice place to catch a quick bite. Enjoy...... read more

My porchetta sandwich was so good that I came back for a second round, despite being in Rome for only 1 day. I just had to get one more to go. I asked to make my second sandwich spicy, and it was amazing. You get the crunchiness, chewiness, and all the fattiness in a pretty big sandwich. Just a 5 minute walk from the Colosseum and from the Metro station and all for about 6-7€ per sandwich. read more

The special porchetta sandwich is great. And big. Should be good to share unless you're hungry. Fun and friendly staff and great service. Nice break from the craziness of the summer Colosseum spectacle. A bottle of cold prosecco goes well with the sandwich. Also has a selection of vegetarian sandwiches for non-pork eaters like my girlfriend. But the vegetarian sandwich was not great, per my girlfriend. read more

Conveniently located right by the colosseum! Alongside delicious sandwiches and cheap price in a variety of ingredients and styles, the owner is one personality you are will not soon forget. As far as we saw he was fluent in a slew of different languages (at least Italian, English, French) and converses with you while you wait and after you eat. We ordered the Special Porchetta sandwich and the Fabius sandwiches, and they were both huge and excellent. The former was a more traditional meat and vegetable (including grilled eggplants!) sandwich, while the latter was more akin to an American burger (which being from Texas we were quite familiar with). After we finished the server told us and some of the other parties about a cool spot to visit in Rome, and also gave us a recommendation for a good gelateria next door for a dessert afterwards en route to the colosseum. A heart warming meal and experience at a small shop overall, and absolutely no complaints! read more

This was our first lunch in Roma, just a few blocks down from our apartment - we got there about 45 minutes after opening, employees were friendly and service was quick. We both ordered the special porchetta, and they were great!! We really enjoyed them. The porchetta had a lovely flavor and every aspect of the sandwich seemed to work well together. We would return, if in the area in the future! read more

Wow ! I was feeling a little home sick and craving a burger to cure my stress. I typed in hamburger and viola...... Pane &Vino popped up. I was already on my way to another restaurant, but I adjusted my headings to Pane & Vino The location is close to the Coleseo and near bus stops and conveniently located on a corner. The restaurant is rather small and does have outside seating and limited seating inside. The carving station is behind glass and you can see them preparing your sandwich right in front of you. The owner operator is very kind, humorous, and speaks your language! The sandwich!! Phenomenal! I ordered the Special Porchetta with added sun dried tomatoes, the owner explained that it may affect the taste of the sandwich and I appreciated his recommendations. It is a place that puts love into their sandwiches and you can clearly taste the difference it makes. It not only filled me up, but it also reminded me of my moms Tortas from home. I left Pane&Vino very satisfied and happy I found it. I highly recommend that you visit and see what all the hype is about. Your taste buds and your soul will appreciate your decision! CIO I will return ! read more

Stopped here for our first lunch in Rome. Conveniently located near the Colosseo. Not many seats inside, we chose to sit outside on a curb. I ordered the porchetta special and it was delicious. The bread is so light and airy; I didn't want to stop eating! The sandwiches here are well sized and I only ate about half the portion. My husband also enjoyed his sandwich. The cashier spoke decent English, which made things easier as we had just gotten off a flight. read more

Came here for lunch after Colosseum tour. I give 3 stars for the excellent service and friendly atmosphere. Now, let me talk about the sandwich which is their specialty: Porchetta (roast pork) they offer 3 types of sandwiches and each one is €12 a little hefty for a sandwich. I askes the server if one sandwich is good for 2 people. She replied only for children. There's 4 of us and we ordered 4 porchetta. Well, we only ate 2 of the 4 sandwiches, they were pretty big. But the taste.... it's BLAND! The sandwich is mediocre and unfortunately really taste blah! It could've used more taste. I read more

This was a great stop. The porchetta with crisp skin is delicious, as is the bread. Fabio, the owner, is delightful. Highly recommended!

I really like sandwiches. But I loooooooooooooooooooooove porchetta sandwiches. I literally hunted down porchetta sandwiches when we were in Italy. One of the best eats near the Colosseum is Pane & Vino. It's a teeny tiny shop with a very friendly, English-speaking owner. His porchetta is delivered fresh every morning. Get the special porchetta with everything and just... eat in silence. And, if you're like me, grin like a fool. read more

Get the porchetta sandwich! That's all you will need, the porchetta sandwich!!! I wish I had the opportunity to go back during my visit in Rome, that's how amazing it was, more than the pizza and pasta. If you hit Pane & Vino at the right time, you won't have any lines and it's the most enjoyable time inside the small shop. The owner is hilarious and has many stories that will make you laugh non-stop. Do come here, even though it's off the beaten path and you may get confused/lost/give up with finding the place. You won't be disappointed. read more

I'm from the Portland, Oregon foodie area. I'm serious about flavor. I also lived in Central America 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! read more

Pane and vino has amazing sandwiches everything from fresh bread and the roasted pork is so delicious. We ordered the special prochetta and added a spicy Italian sauce to our sandwiches which just added another level to the yumminess.

Best burger I had in Italy hands down! I wasn't expecting to eat a burger overseas but when the staff recommended it, I knew I had to give it a try. So juicy and flavorful. My aunt said it's the best burger she EVER had and everyone was jealous of my pick. Their sandwiches were good too IMO and it wasn't expensive to eat here.

Colossal burgers served down the block from the Colosseum. It's a small restaurant without restrooms so be warned but the food makes up for that. I ordered the signature burger and my girlfriend ordered signature pork sandwich. Don't recall the names but ask the cashier/server and he will point you in the right direction. The burger was a huge piece of beef served with bacon on black buns. It was absolutely delicious and I finished every last sesame seed. I liked the burger more then the pork sandwich cause it was warm but both were out of sight. Prepare to really eat because the portions are for 2 people each sandwich. The fries are also done really well, crunchy with a nice fluffy inside. read more

Overall really good, a filling sandwich that had no condiments and was still delicious! read more

I'm posting this review after I came across a picture we had taken with the owner last year. We were so hungry after a long morning tour of the Colosseum and saw that this place was close by and had good reviews on yelp. The sandwiches were so delicious and super huge!! I think our favorite sandwich ws the Cioli Porchetta. The crispy pork skin was so delicious!! Also, for some reason, the peach iced tea that they have in their cooler was super good too. We kept on ordering more of it because it was so good. To make this sandwich place even more great was that the owner was super friendly and you could just tell he really takes pride in the taste of his food. I'm so glad we were able to try this place out. It was one of my favorites in Italy!!! Once we all can start traveling again...please try this place out if you're near by. read more
