Angry pig is just another place you want to visit while in Roma. The location is great while visiting the Vatican and a few blocks away from all the crazy. The owner is great and makes sure whatever you order is worth your time. Simple food, fantastic setting, and you won't forget the atmosphere of the place. Molto bene! read more

This is a find - amazing real deal porchetta shop in a tourist area. Owner is a wonderful character who makes some amazing sandwiches. Forget all the traps near the museum and come here for some deliciousness between fresh toasted bread. read more

Customer service is efficient, pleasant and authentically Italian. Definitely what I was looking for when I came to Rome. The owner took us in right after he opened the doors, and gave us a taste of bread with the drippings from the porchetta... we were sold from there. Prices are more than reasonable for delicious porchetta in Rome. He knows his menu by heart and told us when he took our order "you pay later, if you don't like you don't pay" and gave us a wink. If I ever find myself back in Rome, I'd stop by in just to visit the owner. read more

Great spot worth a visit when visiting Vatican City. The sandwich I ordered was simple but different from others I've eaten in Rome so far. A thick piece of Tuscan Ham topped with sun-dried tomatoes on freshly toasted bread couldn't have been better. read more

Angrypig Birretta & Porchetta - tuscan ham w/ sun-dried tomatoes - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

Super friendly service, inexpensive menu, and absolutely delicious combinations of Italian meats and cheeses. While it's primarily a takeout business, the interior is a great spot to hang out but can be brutally hot in the summer as there appears to be no air conditioning. Will definitely be back next time I am in Rome. read more

I can appreciate the location and the handmade drawings with the notes from around the world. The panini itself has high quality ingredients and tastes great but as you can see there isn't much in the sandwich itself. read more

I went during a seeming afternoon lull and the owner got to business and made me a couple of tasty sandwiches, along with passing me a slice of the salty meat goodness as he prepared them. I was slightly concerned it might be too salty, but actually worked really well in the sandwich. I got the #4 and #5. They were both on point and had half of each later and they stood up then as well. A great hole in the wall kind of spot. Cold Italian beer in the fridge. What else could you ask for? read more

We were looking for a quick lunch spot before heading to the Vatican museums. A quick yelp search led us here. We just had a really good Porchetta panini near the Vatican yesterday, so we said why not try another place. You order at the counter, you sit and wait for your food and you pay when you're done eating. They also have beer, wine and some sodas. The place is pretty small. It probably fit a dozen people inside. We ordered the Porchetta panini, and it's the best one we had in Rome. The Porchetta was so much more flavorful than what we've had before. I'd love to just take a whole roll of that Porchetta home if I could. Lol A cool thing is you get to write something on the paper they serve the sandwich with and post it on the wall. Also, apparently the great Tony Bourdain recommended this place - something I didn't know until we were done eating! read more

It's very delicious and out of my expectations , and a lot of local customers also come here not only tourists.

This was the best, all the ingredients were extremely high quality, it looks so simple yet so perfectly paired, I ordered one full sandwich and then ordered two more full sandwiches because of how good they were read more

So I took a lime bike from my hotel to here as it was only a 10 min bike ride . Upon arriving I met Guido. Going through some of the Yelp Reviews I noticed Anthony Bourdain ate here 5 years ago which made it a profound experience. Guido showed me love. He cut up salami , cheeses , porchetta, for me to try!! Even gave me a fork with nduja. Which was a hotter salmi which tasted and looked like a elevated slim Jim on steroids. I ordered the classic number 1 Angry Pig Straight up simple just bread and porchetta The porchetta here is really good and the rosemary / seasoned well. Now the bread in Europe can't be compared to the "bread" we have in America but that's on a separate note. The decor of the shop with all the artwork from patrons makes this place stand out. I am a huge fan on the Sammy and the food. I got two sandwiches for 12 bucks Thank you Guido for loving thy neighbor as you love thyself. read more

Wonderful. Never thought I'd be back to Italy but so glad we made the trip happen and was stoked to learn that we were just a 8 min walk away from Angrypig. 6 years since the first time we came here and it's just as good as we remembered. Delicious! A must try if you're in the area. read more

Great food, cold drinks. Easy to get to, although we almost walked past it the first time. Friendly service. Not a ton of seating.

Had to visit because we were staying nearby and say that the late Tony had recommended it. We ordered the porchetta, which was quite tasty, the bread was unique and had a great crunch. Was definitely missing something more fatty. Found that maybe it was just not aligned to my personal tastes, wasn't bad, wasn't great. read more

Angrypig Birretta & Porchetta - Photo of pochetta panini #5. Very good! - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

Loved the hole in the wall vibe of the place. Loved the friendly owner. Loved the quality of the porchetta. But truthfully.....I'm going to sound like an arrogant American. We know sandwiches. It's the one thing that us Americans do really really well. We've mastered putting an entire meal between 2 slices of bread. Hoagies, Subs, Grinders, Po-Boys, Paninis......call it what you want, you can find amazing sandwiches all over the US. I couldn't help but think....if only this sandwich had a little of this or that, it could be better. Not sure why the bread was so dry on each one of the sandwiches? I know you aren't going to get mayo on your sandwich here, although the porchetta was crying out for a pesto aioli. But I'm sure some olive oil drizzled on the ciabatta would have really gone a long way. We tried one porchetta with sundried tomatoes and one with porchetta with grilled eggplant and njuda (spicy spreadable salami). We also tried a Salami with Pecorino. Again adding a thick slab of a dry cheese to a dry sandwich, isn't the best idea. 3.5 stars for the sandwiches. This was the only meal I had in Italy, where I felt conflicted by my Americanism. Yes I enjoyed all my pasta al dente. No I didn't ask for pepperoni on my pizza. Didn't mind the prawns having the heads still on. But a dry sandwich, even with good ingredients, I so wanted to "get it the Italian American way" and make an ok sandwich, great. You know order the footlong Gabagool with provolone, everything on it, extra dressing. Now go ahead and point me to McDonalds.....I know I have it coming. read more

When in Rome, eat a Porchetta sandwich. Followed the advice of fellow Yelpers and Anthony Bourdain. Tried the #2. The sandwich was served hot and had a lot of flavor. Would recommend beer or a cold soda. Would definitely eat here. It's a 15 minute walk from St. Peter's Square, but worth the detour. read more

When in Rome, this is a hidden gem . The Porchetta was outstanding, as I was watching him make our sandwich's he gave me a piece of crackle,OMG perfect! If you don't go here for a sandwich it's your own fault. Thank you again for your hospitality. read more

Great sandwiches (simple & good quality ingredients--we had spicy sopressata & cheese, and a tuna & tomato--both were delicious!), olives, beer & wine, but best of all is the warm & hospitable host! It's a nice, but inconspicuous, casual little place on a little side street close to the Vatican--and a good, affordable alternative to the very overpriced tourist-trap restaurants & cafes that are immediately adjacent to the Vatican museums. Seating is limited, as it is small, and there are only a couple of wine barrel tables & stools out on the front sidewalk, but we really enjoyed our sandwich break there before walking into central Rome for sight-seeing. I'd definitely return & definitely recommend! read more

I'm pretty sure if I lived in Rome that this place would see my business a couple of times a week... it's that good. The place is simple in concept, the owners are really cool, and the porchetta is amazing. They have simple lost of beer wine soft drinks water available... a few tables inside, a few barrels turned into high tops outside, so it's not a sit down and take your order type place, but you come here for the food anyway. There are number of delicious sandwich options, but the pro tip here is just to tell him to give you a big pile of porchetta and a beer or some wine and just enjoy the delicious simplicity. If you are a porchetta fan... seek this place out! read more

Any recommendations by the legend (Tony) are always first on my list. Sitting outside Angrypig and reflecting on his great gift to all of the lovers of life, food and travel..He encourage all of us to get outside our comfort zones. That's how I found myself sitting alone while the wife and kids are too tired to continue for the day. Had a bottle of delicious red wine to accompany the swin. Or as chef Bourdailn would say, "The noble pig". RIP chef Bourdain. We miss you! Food, wine and great Italian service. I can't find a bad meal in this city, but thinking of giving it another try in few hours. Some other reviews have mentioned the hard bread. Have to say, if your looking for a subway sandwich, what the f##k. The bread in Rome is real bread. Its delicious. read more

Great spot for Porchetta sandwich. The real deal. Owner operated and down to earth. 5 stars!

Was delicious, quality ingredients. The prices are very reasonable and low, excellent place for lunch. Only downside is the bread to ingredient ratio, the piece of bread is very overwhelming and hard to taste the ingredients due to its size. I ate my sandwich with only half the bread and found it much better read more

The sandwhich was mediocre and the service even less. If you want to try the magic of this place get ham, sun dried tomatoes and put on your favorite bread. Will probably be a more worthy experience. read more

Thank the heavenly stars for this beautiful porchetta sandwich! After several misses in Rome (mainly in the super touristy areas), we landed on Angrypig, by of course, recommendation of Anthony Bourdain. The owner speaks English and was so kind and patient with us. We ordered a number 3 (porchetta with eggplant) and a number 5 (porchetta with sundried tomatoes and salami). I was told that the number 5 was a popular choice and I whole heartedly agree. If you are ok eating spicy, THIS is your sandwich. The unique black bread wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but the porchetta was fabulous. The meat was perfectly seasoned and the toppings were perfect complements. Do yourself a favor and detour here for a quick lunch while visiting the Vatican Museums. It really is just a brief walk away! read more

Angrypig Birretta & Porchetta - #5 is porchetta with sundried tomatoes and salami. Slightly spicy - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

Awesome place for lunch or dinner if you are in the Vatican area. It's located on one of the smaller streets perpendicular to the larger street that runs to the metro. We had the Porchetta sandwiches which were so affordable and lovingly made. I got the eggplant and my friend got the one with sun dried tomatoes. The only thing I might have asked for was extra olive oil. Otherwise ask for it toasted and it's such a filling treat for under 7euro. The place had some seating so eating in is an option. The owner speaks good English so don't worry about that. There menu also has English explanations which makes ordering very easy. I'd recommend Porchetta with your addition of choice. If there's two of you split each to try more types. read more

Had the #6! For anyone that visits Rome, this place is a must stop!! The sandwiches are so filling and the food is INCREDIBLE. Will definitely be back the next time we make a trip there! It's spicy, flavorful and you know that the energy and effort put in to make the food is genuine and honest. Can't wait to be back here - honestly the best food I had while in Rome! read more

Fantastic! Sandwiches are simple and super yummy, the shop is homey, and the owner is kind and jovial.

The most unique food experience we had in Rome. After getting fairly lost trying to find it, the dark signage was a very welcome sight... The Italian weather wasn't playing nice the day we visited Angrypig, so the inside seating was completely taken up - there isn't much to begin with, which is worth bearing in mind if there are a few of you looking for a sandwich! With this, we decide to order and take our sandwiches to Castel Sant Angelo. Service was friendly, but there wasn't much of an atmosphere in the bar. Perhaps the weather had put a dampener on people's spirits, but I was expecting a slightly livelier reception. The server took us on a quick 'tour' of the menu, explaining the differences between the sandwiches. After (obviously) checking out Yelp prior to arriving, we knew we had to get the black bread with porchetta, soft nduja sausage and sun dried tomatoes, and also ordered the plain porchetta on herb bread. There is a small beer cabinet which I'm sure we would've made good use of if we were sitting in, especially as we spotted family favourite Adnams! The sandwiches themselves were truly delicious. The thick cut bread complimented the soft meat, especially the extra chew in the black bread. The porchetta was excellent both with the additional items and on its own, a few crispy bits thrown in for good measures. It's a stodgy lunch that will set you up for the rest of the day, or send you napping for an hour or two. Glad we found it. read more

Best porchetta I tried in Rome! This place is a must-visit (along with Old Bridge gelato) when you are near the Vatican. The porchetta in Rome was on the top of my list (with gelato and pizza) of meals to over-eat during my stay in order to try as many places as possible. You hear a lot about this being a specialty in Italy/Rome, and I tried several places. This was by far the best! The meat was delicious, and seasoned perfectly! The man working there was very friendly, and I went just an hour before closing when I was the only customer. By this time, they were out of the black bread that you see in all of the photos on Yelp, so just be aware of that. It's only 5-7 euro depending on which one you get, so it is hard to go wrong at this place and is well worth the visit if you're in the area! read more
