My friends that live in Mainz said that this is their favorite little sandwich shop and after taking them up on the recommendation I have to agree - the sandwich I had here was one of the best things I ate while in Germany!
First things first, this is a very small Italian sandwich shop and market. You're going to find fresh paninis, cold cut sandwiches, and an assortment of meats and cheeses for sale. I don't remember the sandwich I ordered but it was a vegetarian panini of sorts - it had cheese, eggplant, and some other veggies. After ordering at the counter you wait, and then go find a place to sit and enjoy your treat. This spot is located in the heart of Mainz and it's a busy location. The afternoon we stopped in it was PACKED with a line out the door so there were no seats available. Instead we took our meal to go and found a spot on the stairs of a nearby church to eat.
Overall this was a super stop. Don't expect to sit down, or to find a restroom here, but to expect to be wowed with a wonderful meal. read more
