It's great! We had 2 fried chicken sandwiches and they were delicious! Very good value for money, 6 eur each. The only thing that would make it better is yo frie the chicken there, not to have it from the supermarket as it doesn't taste like chicken at all. But it's recommended

An authentic place in Rome that you can't miss. Daniele served us and helped us choose our favorite panini; they're delicious Italian sandwiches. I tried the hamburger one and it was very good, but the best thing is that you can choose the ingredients and build it to your liking. Plus, Daniele speaks Spanish, which makes the experience much easier if you don't speak Italian. A perfect stop for a good, quick meal at a good price. Highly recommended! 10 out of 10.

Me and my boyfriend came to visit from Croatia and the last thing we expected was to find this good of a sandwich for such little price at midnight! And also very pleasant staff. Hidden gem for sure.

I've used to eat here during my golden years in university. Even nowadays, I don't think this place has ever failed to deliver in both quality, quantity and accessible price. I highly recommend it, it's also a huge life saver for a late night meal with friends, this place is open well after midnight til almost morning.

One of the only non-tourist-trap places we could find. You can tell this is a place made for locals, yet they were the most tourist-friendly people we found while going out to eat. The food was amazing, and the prices were very fair (incredibly cheap, considering the size of the paninis and its location). They have an incredibly wide selection of ingredients, which all looked home-made. I would recommend this place to anyone in Rome, tourists and locals. Grazie mille!
