One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Pro tip: go very hungry, as the sandwiches are huge, and…read moreskip the bruschetta; stick to the sandwiches, which is what they do best.
We went to Pane e Salame for lunch and were shocked we were able to grab a table. This was in September, and I don't think that would've happened in the summer. It's right by the Trevi Fountain, so it's a chaotic and busy area, which made it even more of a pleasant surprise to eat inside. They also have lovely outdoor tables.
The sandwiches were phenomenal. The bread was unlike anything I've had, toasted to perfection. I had a sandwich with tartare and smoked cheese, my husband had the roast beef one, and we split and traded halves. I honestly couldn't pick a favorite because both were so good. Paired with their house white, it was the perfect, if very heavy, lunch. We ended up walking four miles afterward just to make room for dinner. If you're not that hungry, splitting one sandwich is probably the smarter move. This is going to be our first stop when we go back to Rome.
