If you're going to do one thing only, you better do it right. Er Buchetto focuses on Porchetta sandwiches and does it pretty well. Reminds me of places like Barney's Pastrami Dip in Everett, WA who only did Pastrami sandwiches or the soup place in New York parodied in Seinfeld. You get the picture.
We Yelped cheap food in the Termini area and Er Buchetto popped up. This place is a very tiny storefront with barely any room inside for two small tables. It seems to be ran by one man who is nice but firm. I wanted a double meat porchetta sandwich with cheese but either due to a language barrier or the strict menu listings, my wife and I ended up ordering the same thing - a porchetta sandwich with cheese.
Our sandwiches were as basic as they come with simply meat and cheese on a crusty Italian roll. Nothing else. No sauce, no rocket (arugula), no other veggies. It's even served cold. The porchetta was tasty and the cheese freshly sliced.
The miniscule space inside of his restaurant speaks volumes with a taxidermy pig (boar?) high up on the shelf, plenty of newspaper clippings with accolades on the wall and, of course, the star of the show - Porchetta under glass with a sharp knife laying next to it.
The outside menu is handwritten and apparently he also offers pizza and salad. But who comes here and only orders that? Face it, you're here for the Porchetta sandwich and at a fantastic price of only 6 Euro per sandwich it is worth every penny!
Well done sir. read more
