People from all over Rome and the world used to come here for the most prized food products from around Italy. Now, there is essentially no reason to come here. Shame!!!!

Incredible and big so you can totally share it or take your time they don't push you out. There's alcoholic options along with sodas and waters to drink. The owner is wonderful! He refers to his restaurant as his house (so he'd never charge a fee for you to sit and eat there) and his menu items, creations, are his "children." He speaks 6 languages fluently so no worries if you don't speak Italian, he also speaks English, Spanish, French, and then 2 others that aren't Latin based. (He also speaks an additional 2 dialects not so fluently but hey, he's doing well in my book and very helpful to the 4 different couples and families that were in his tiny restaurant while we were there. Eat here afterwards before your Coliseum tour. Also, he's happy to give you suggestions for the area...he recommended a gem nearby of ST Clementine basilica to go check out some newly discovered ruins! It was incredible and we would have never known without him offering. We loved the food so much that we made it our last meal before leaving Rome as well!

A yummy thing happened on the way to the Colosseum …read more.. Pane & Vino is a tiny sandwich shop near il Colosseo that specializes in local porchetta (stuffed pork loin) and is run by the friendliest owner of all time. He gets to know every customer on a first name basis. I'd go back more to see him than to have a sandwich. Seriously, he's pretty awesome. The menu is simple and focused on sandwiches featuring their famous porchetta so we tried two recommendations from the peppy proprietor. While waiting, I got a miniature bottle of Chardonnay and my spouse sipped a Coke Zero. The Traiano Porchetta sandwich (12€ - 4 stars) is an original creation of the out-going owner with a mighty Mustard-flavored blend of Roast Pork, Sun-dried Tomatoes, and Grilled Eggplant. I like mustard and, therefore, liked this specialty much more than my wife, but we ended up ignoring portions of the so-so bun. Pane & Vino Special Porchetta (12€ - 4 stars) was a huge sandwich with the sliced Roast Pork Porchetta plus Mozzarella Cheese, Grilled Eggplant, Grilled Peppers, Mushrooms, Lettuce, and Mayo on classic Italian Pane. It needed more mayonnaise or a sprinkle of balsamic and olive oil for my tastes, but there was no denying it was a hearty hero. There are lots of pane bread and sandwich shops in Rome, but there is only one -- Pane & Vino -- run by the most welcoming of owners ever. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll be sure to stop in for a casual chat and some yummy porchetta sandwiches on the way to the Colosseum.

So it's safe to say I only really come here for some specific long-life goods, water, or the occasional milk run. The prices aren't terribly competitive but it's probably one of the best priced regular supermarkets in the neighbourhood. The queues are long if you go at peak times, but mid-morning or mid- afternoon you can probably get through one of the three tills in a couple of minutes. I've never seen all three tills manned - they usually have just one or two active. There's a deli counter with cured meats and cheeses, but not a real butchers department. The fresh veg is not the greatest in terms of price or quality. Overall it serves its purpose and is usefully open until 9pm every night, which makes it a useful emergency stop.

I eat a lot of sandwiches and hold high expectations. Mordi e Vai met those expectations. Food: 5/5: if you're are looking a sandwich that has few ingredients but is made to perfection then order to Allesso di Scottonia (no substitutions). The meat is tender and amazing. They have other options which I would love to try again in the future. Ambiance: 4/5: The testachio market is an open/semi-outdoor market where you can buy fruit/vegetables, deli meat, clothing/purses, specialty food/spices/goods, and try amazing food. It's not a huge market but it's worth doing a 30min stroll. Great spot to come to if the people you're with all want to eat something different. There is pasta, pizza, sandwiches, fruit, coffee, and more.

As a study abroad student from America, the Giacomini brothers welcomed us with open arms for the 5 months we resided in Rome during the spring of 2008.

The days before we returned to America, the Giacomini brothers took photos with us and wished us well. I look forward to not only returning to Rome, but to returning to such a quaint and family establishment run by good-hearted Italians.
