Wanted to try this place because of the hype. We went around 2:30pm for a late lunch hoping the lines were going to be short but that wasn't the case. The line was pretty long but it moved fast so it only took about 10-15 minutes when the line looked like it would be a minimum 30 min. And they are so busy, that they have 2 restaurants right across the street from one another and both have lines. Walking into the restaurant, it was pretty small with no seating. Pretty much just the deli and counter and that was it. We ended up eating outside next to the Pantheon so that was cool. Location is great considering it's so close to the Pantheon. Food was good too, nothing amazing considering the line but definitely a solid sandwich spot. We got their la boss and l'italiana and both were pretty tasty. Portions are pretty big too. Would recommend.
We stopped in to try a sandwich. We waited on line for about 25 minutes. The Golosa sandwich was okay. It had mortadella, burrata, pesto, and tomato. I wanted to see what all of the hype was about, so I was willing to stand in line for a sandwich. I wouldn't do it again though, as I didn't think that it was that good. There is no seating, so there is nothing else to really talk about. We sat by the pantheon and ate the big sandwich. 3 Stars
When in Italy, you have to try this place! This place originated in Florence. They have expanded to other parts of Italy and even to Los Angeles and New York. We went when we visited Rome in the summer and we lined up before the shop opened. And we weren't the only ones that had the idea of getting sandwiches in the morning. Even though it was a long line, it moved quickly and there were 2 lines because there were 2 storefronts, one at each corner. We waited probably for about 20-30 minutes. The menu is behind the counter and if you know your food names in Italian, you should be able to know what to order. You can also go on their website and they have the menu in English. We tried Beatrice, Tartufo, and the one with the suckling pig. One sandwich was too much for me! You can ask them to split it in half for you, which in retrospect, we could have shared the sandwiches. But we wanted to try as many items as possible! To call this a sandwich is almost inadequate. This creation is made with fresh focaccia. It has the delicious smell of olive oil and the perfect chew. It's a good vehicle for all the delicious meats and vegetables in the sandwich. My favorite sandwiches were the Beatrice and the one with the suckling pig. This is considered a street food, but it can get messy when you start eating. There was no outside or inside seating. We had to eat right outside the shop. We couldn't even wait to take a bite as soon as we got the sandwiches. This place is well worth the wait! Now that it is in the , I cannot wait to try them here!
Late on a Saturday night, after getting back from a day trip out of Rome, my mom and I wanted a small bite to eat. I had this spot bookmarked and had seen the long lunch lines every time we walked past. Coming around dinner time on a Saturday night, there was absolutely no line and I walked straight up to the counter to place my order. We decided to split the Italian sandwich which came with plenty of basil, mozzarella, tomato, and prosciutto. The bread had great taste and had been drizzled with olive oil. For the price, the portion was massive and I can see why these sandwiches are so popular. But given the hype of this particular spot, I would not have spent any significant amount of time in line waiting for this sandwich when there are so many other great sandwiches in Rome that don't have such crazy wait times.
I was walking by when I saw almost no line at All'Antico Vinaio - Roma! You can't pass a gift when it's presented to you, right? I took a look at the menu board, then all of a sudden there were 8 people in line! Humph...okay I had to join the queue. When my turn came, I ordered the Tartufo1 panino. This is foccacia bread sliced in half to make it very thin, stracchino (like fluffy cream cheese), cream of truffle spread, mortadella with truffle bits and arugula. The cheese makes the truffle sauce less salty. Mortadella is perfect for this combination sandwich since it's light. The arugula adds some bite. The best combination! Ordering was easy. The cashier & sandwich maker were both nice. Some people immediately start eating their panino. I got mine and enjoyed it in the comfort of a hotel room. Note: Take out only. During their busy time, they have an adjoining shop open too.
What an incredible sandwich! Be prepared for a long wait, but it is well worth it. I went with the Tortufa 3, which came with truffle salami, pecorino cheese, and honey. The basic ingredients went together so perfectly inside the garlicy focaccia. The sandwiches are huge, but they are so good you won't want to leave any. A must stop if in the area.
Sandwich was huge. I ordered it at 10:30 am and wasnt hungry until dinner time. Sandwich was very good, but not mind blowing. Line-ups get very long, so be sure to get there early. Although the line-up is long, the service is very efficient and you'll get through quickly. Note that this for takeaway, and there is no seating.
Ordered: La Tricolore (~€11): carpaccio di manzo, stracciatella, crema di pistacchio e granella di nocciole La Beatrice (~€11): carpaccio di manzo, stracchino, crema di tartufo Aya's take: I've known about the infamous All'Antico Vinaio as it opened in NYC where I first tried it. But I have to say, the sandwiches here, the quality, the overall vibe is superior! Both sandwiches were delicious. The beef carpaccio was super fresh, plentiful, and had a unique fresh flavor. Out of the 2, I preferred La Beatrice as it had truffle cream which made it so addicting. The lines move quick, so definitely give this a try!
As I was walking around my first evening, I saw this sandwich place. I came back today to get a sandwich for late lunch. As everything is in Italian, I told them what I wanted. Service was quick and efficient. This is the third place in Rome where you pay before you get your item: I was told many others had ordered and not paid. Very sad to hear this. The ambiance is very traditional Italian!!!!
Oh how I loved this place! Amazing sandwiches with only the best ingredients! Ran into this hole in the wall on our way to the Pantheon...wow what a special treat! The line was extremely long BUT went by fast & of course definitely worth all the wait. Their menu is decently size but not over baring where you can't make up your mind lot of choices Vegetarian or those that love a meat sandwich! The joint is small literally it can hold about 10 people at the most inside. The staff are pleasant considering that they have to deal with multiple tourists daily. All in all we waited, ordered and paid for our 4 sandwiches with about 30 mins and definitely worth the wait and time l! This is a must go to place I'm sure you've seen the Tik Tok videos and the Hype is legit real!
I'm not proud of it ,but I waited on line for about 40 mins. I also walked 20 minutes from my hotel to try this .But, I could not come to Rome ,and leave without trying this. I had the best sandwich I've ever had in my entire existence. The sandwich had cream of pistachio, cheese, mortadella, and crushed pistachios . It was so simple ,yet so delicious. They use the best ingredients. Definitely worth the wait. You will not be disappointed. If ever in Rome, I will absolutely be coming back.
Phenomenal spot for lunch!! One of my friends recommended this popular Italian deli with the pitch that "they have the absolute best sandwiches in the world; you'll never be able to eat another sandwich again after this," and he was absolutely right. All'Antico Vinaio is serving up some of Italy's best sandwiches on thick slices of fluffy, remarkably aromatic focaccia. The bread has a great crust that helps to hold the whole thing together, and the inside is soft and fluffy, but also chewy, slightly spongey, and rich from the generous amount of olive oil. It's topped with herbs and flaky sea salt, which ensures every bite -- whether you get some of the sandwich filling or not -- is flavorful and delicious. Of course, All'Antico Vinaio's phenomenal sandwiches don't stop at just fantastic bread. They have a pretty wide selection of sandwiches, including a few seasonal / specialty items and four or five vegetarian creations (depending on the season). I got one of their seasonal truffle sandwiches, and it was outstanding. It was loaded with a phenomenally earthy and umami truffle-infused cheese spread, roasted aubergine, and sliced tomatoes. The sandwich was earthy and rich, and the tomatoes offered a great hit of acidity and freshness to create a balanced bite. The sandwiches were massive, easily the side of my head, but they were so delicious that you won't want to save any leftovers -- and this is coming from someone who generally doesn't love sandwiches. This spot is super popular, so there's usually a giant line, especially around lunchtime. They have two stations right next to each other, but you can still expect to wait upward of 30 minutes to get to your sandwich. The shop itself is quite small, with just a narrow space for people to walk up to the counter and share their order with the staff. You shimmy along the deli case until you reach a cashier, and then you're ushered out to enjoy your sandwich outside. It's a long wait, the sandwich is a little pricey at 15-25 euros for one, and the staff will probably get a little bit annoyed at you if you get to the counter without an order in mind, but I promise you'll find it 100% worth it when you take that first bite. read more

Lunch in Rome! It looked amazing. And because of social media the lines were long. Two locations on opposite corners. Sandwiches with one meat. Don't try to ask for two. They'll say no. I heard it in the line ahead of us. I thought I'd try something different and got the Pistaccia 1, that had some kind of ham, cheese, pistachio cream & sun dried tomatoes. The bread was hard & crusty. The cream made it messy. No tables. This is Roman street food. So if you have a drink too it's hard to manage. My man had the Italiana which had salami, tomatoes, pesto and buffalo mozzarella. Both were difficult. We walked a ways away to eat them and ending up throwing away half. Disappointed. read more
I love the sandwiches here! I like the Numero 4 best (prosciutto with truffle spread). Delicious, with fairly large portions. You can also ask for the sandwich to be cut in half for easier consumption. This place is so popular, there's actually 2 counters across the street from each other. And everyone around is eating one of the sandwiches. read more

So I lost the top half of my sandwich when I dropped it crossing the street, but this was the most amazing sandwich. The freshest bread (half of it lol) was loaded with arugula, cappocola, and heaps of truffle cream. Def was heavy and decadent but not in a bad way at all. read more

From Chicago, my first time here today, and I am thoroughly amazed. Let me tell you why... In Chicago we have great sub sandwiches, like Subway, Jimmy John's, and Jersey Mike's. This is Italy's version of the sub sandwich, but with better ingredients! It is very substantial and filling. It's a meal : ) I ordered the Paradiso... --the bread (5+/5) is the best, hands down, that I have ever had. --the thinly sliced ham? Wow! (5/5). Tender, juicy, flavorful. --the pistachio spread (5/5). --the cheesy ricotta spread (5/5). This combination made me laugh with every bite because it was so good : ) My picture doesn't do it justice, because the ingredients slid down. But once I got my sandwich better situated, every bite had wonderful meat and bread and delicious spread--primo! Highly recommended! read more
Grab a quick sandwich to go. Meat sliced in front of you. Many types of cheeses and breads. By far one of the best sandwiches, we had in Italy. They were huge. We could have shared. It has tons of reviews, and they are all 4+ stars. So happy we tried it. Upon entry, you may want to not go inside, but glad we did. The service is quick thorough and friendly. "If you are in Rome (especially near the Pantheon area and are looking for a quick meal), then check out All'Antico Vinaio. read more
MUCH better than AAV- Venice (CA that is). Tartufo 3 pizza romana was masterful. The line goes much faster than I could believe: 2 locations facing one another! It's packed and the Yelpers/Grammers/Tokers can't snap pics fast enough to post outside with AAV sign in the background! read more
Stopped by since this was a recommendation from a coworker and had seen it on IG and so glad we did! Their sandwiches are fresh, big and very tasty. We wanted them for dinner, but since we were not that hungry, we had them for breakfast the next day during our lunchtime for a tour. Ordered the Favolosa, Beatrice and La Numero 4. All of them tasty and delish! The do get busy but the line moves fast! Definitely give them a try! read more
Famous for their focaccia, their sandwiches are quite popular especially around lunch time. So if u want to go for lunch be prepared to stand in a long line maybe half an hour or so. Im told if you go at 5 there will be almost no lines. There are also 2 locations right across the ally from each other so just pick the one with the shorter line. I wasn't sure what most of the ingredients were I just knew I wanted porchetta. the Numero 1 had porchetta but the Numero 5 had more ingredients so I just ordered that. The bread is soft and tasty the porchetta was tender and it came with a soft cheese. The cheese complemented the porchetta well as they are both mild in flavor. Over all a large sandwich and worth the 11 euro price tag. Also got the Tartufo 3 which was suggested to me by the exchange student in line with me who's been living there for awhile. It came with salami, soft cheese, truffle (oil maybe) and honey. The honey actually gave the sandwich another dimension. By the end we were too full and just ate the filling. The focaccia with honey by itself as also very good, I'd eat that alone with tea or coffee. Good sandwiches. As stated before LONG lines during lunch hours even at 2 when we left. But I'm told there's almost no line at 5. I'm guessing it's close proximity to the pantheon makes the lines longer during the lunch hours or people don't want a sandwich for dinner. They are also open on Sundays when many other businesses are closed. read more

Got some sandwiches here May 2023 on an amazing trip to Italy and WOW were they AMAZING!!! The amount of flavor packed into my sandwich was mind blowing! Grab a sandwich, I had the staff pick 3 for us, and walk on over to the Pantheon, sit at the fountain and stare at the beautiful buildings that surround you and enjoy a sandwich the Italian way! Don't expect an American sandwich because it's just not! We need one in Orange County, California!!!!! read more

We saw the line earlier today not knowing what this was. This was absolutely the beat sandwich I've ever had. We came at 7:00 PM and there wasn't a line. I got the La Boss. You can taste the quality in the meat. The bread was fresh baked and brought over from next door. The sandwich was so huge it fed 3 of us. I'm sad I found this place on our last day. read more

Finally a tiktok recommendation that I can stand by. This place is definitely on my top 3 for the best sandwiches I've ever had. We tried four different kinds: Tartufo 1,2,3 and La paradiso. Tartufo 1 was definitely my favorite, it had prosciutto, rocket leaves, stracchino soft cheese, cream of mushroom, and a decadent slathering of truffle paste all smooshed between freshly baked focaccia. I actually ran into @hi_songjoongki here, but the sandwich was so good I had to take an extra bite before I chased him down hehe. Tip: There's two locations right across from each other and both taste the same, so just chose the shorter line. To avoid the long queue, come as soon as the restaurant opens or two hours before closing. read more
You have to eat here. A MUST EAT. In Rome this 9-10€ sandwich can feed two people. It is filled with such fresh ingredients. I recommend getting something from the truffle menu because it adds that extra flavour. The service was friendly but you might need to wait in line. Also, no seating, so this is a standing eating situation. read more

Delicious food and absolutely worth the wait. The food comes out fast and is surprisingly cheap when compared to American prices. Nothing like eating great food while looking at the pantheon! read more

It's killing me to give 3 stars but after having some sandwiches at the Florence location, this location left me unsatisfied. Like the other location the service was fast and friendly. Maybe it was the sandwich I ordered but it was somewhat empty. I would have appreciated some more tartufo salami :( Starting to think these are overhyped. read more
During a tour, we stopped at the Pantheon and had limited time for sightseeing and lunch. I walked away from the Pantheon and saw people eating huge sandwiches wrapped in white and red paper. I asked someone where they purchased the sandwich and they directed me to the location. As soon as I saw the line, I knew that I was at the right place. There are no dine-in options, and there is just enough space inside for a short line to place your order and grab a beverage. They have a good assembly line and way to get people in and out quickly. The prices are reasonable and the sandwiches are tasty. I had the Tartufo 4 (without the fior di latte mozzarella cheese). If you are in Rome (especially near the Pantheon area and are looking for a quick meal), then check out All'Antico Vinaio. I will look to check out the location in New York City to compare the two experiences! read more

Visited the one in New York earlier this year in June. Was at the one in Florence this past week and now visited the one in Rome just now. I prefer the ones in Italy as their bread is crispier (personal preference). So good. read more
I heard this place was very popular in Florence and they also have a location here in Rome. Turns out it was right outside our Airbnb so it was so easy to just line up in the morning before they opened and also before my husband was awake (he suffered from jet lag in the beginning as we came from the states). They have two store fronts so even though I started lining up about 15 minutes before they opened and was maybe 8th in line, I became first in line for their second store front on the right. Overall the line moves fast and it was awesome being the first in line because you can see that the bread literally just came out of the oven and could see the bread steaming! Their pistachio cream was so good and so unique! Definitely recommend lining up for sandwiches! I ordered three sandwiches for us to try and we loved each of them. I got the San Marco, La Paradiso, and La Tricolore. They all have the pistachio cream so if you don't like pistachio you should probably try the other ones on the menu haha! We lived so close by so every time we would pass by there is always a line. But the line does move fast, never waiting more than 20 minutes is what I've heard. It's worth it but definitely study the menu as you wait in line so you know what you're getting. I do wish I ordered a sandwich without pistachio cream as well to try. Guess I'll just have to go back to Italy and try the one in Florence too! read more
