It's legendary so there was a line but the gentleman playing music in the square made the time pass by enjoyable. Once in the shop you could see how fast the staff were moving from taking orders to checking customers out so best to have an idea of what you want as to not hold up the pace. First bite was prosciutto heaven. They did not skimp on any of the ingredients. Mozzarella for day and finishing off with lovely pesto. Absolutely impressive!

When we arrived in Rome, my daughter couldn't wait to share her favorite cafe with me - and now I…read moreknow why. The hot chocolate is absolutely delicious. Rich, creamy, not sugary sweet. Perfectly balanced. She had it every morning of our visit. In the evenings we had cappuccino and dessert. One that stands out was the crostata di fragole (strawberry tart). The crust is indescribable reminiscent of a shortbread cookie. The real fruit and jam-like filling was yummy, but again not sugary. The owner is a sweetheart. If you're in Rome, visit.

Great spot for a quick meal…read more Got the prosciutto panini (#1). The menu is only in Italian, so I played a fun game of looking at the pictures, and tying them to the menu numbered items (Roman numerals). Guy working starts speaking to me in Italian. I stare at him blankly, and ask for a number 1. He says, "Oh, so you're not Italian then" in perfect English. Embarrassing assumption, Italian menu only = only Italian speaker working.

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. The sandwiches may seem simple but the ingredients are the best around which really takes things to the next level. Don't miss it if you're in Rome.

How do I describe how amazing a fluffy, hot bread stuffed with perfectly thin slices of tomato, fresh zucchini and stringy cheese can be. Simple and incredible. I had to do a few double takes every couple of bites and reassure myself there was no prosciutto or meat inside because it was THAT good. The focaccia classica is also amazing and I'm pretty sure I fell a little in love after glimpsing in the kitchen just as the salt was being delicately tossed on top in a sort of romantic waltz. Or maybe it was the Peroni.

Even though I didn't get fettuccine alfredo, I walked out feeling amazing and satisfied. This place is phenomenal. The server had an amazing mustache. The displayed the meat made me drool. I didn't feel bloated or sluggish. I had the smoked swordfish sandwich, the Gallipoli. It was perfect. I love fish, and this swordfish sandwich hit the spot. I feel like the prices are fair as well. For a great sandwich, 6-6.50 is pretty good. Their branded sandwich with the unsmoked bacon and mozzarella was amazing as well. Overall, a five-star quality place that is even open during siesta/ripped.

As luck would have it, La Pagnottella Gourmet wasn't too far away (though I needed to use Google Maps to find it!), so I headed over. Their panini menu looked incredible, so I chose the Delisizio (I assume I just butchered that, sorry!), which came with turkey, ricotta cheese, olives and a basil pesto spread. Pretty perfect, right? Since this wasn't located in a touristy section, the staff didn't really speak English. Most of our communication was non-verbal, though I did my best to order in Italian. I had a good feeling when I noticed how busy they were. One person was picking up a massive order as I placed mine! Soon after ordering, I received my sandwich and walked over to the park. And what a stellar meal! It was the perfect size for me and made with quality ingredients. If you don't want a carb-overload meal but do want an authentic, delicious sandwich, there's no need to look any further!
