After a false start at another restaurant, Google lead me here. The reviews are spot on. This is some of the best pork I've had in my life.
The place is small and the owners are very patient and understanding even with a language barrier. Thankfully with the help of Spanish we were able to learn a bit about each sandwich, the ingredients, and the shop.
The food was outstanding. The pork was fall off the bone soft and juicy and the skin was crunchy. We had the sun-dried tomatoes, and a second eggplant porchetta sandwich.

There was only one attendant behind the counter (mind you he was incredibly proud of the porchetta), who greeted us with a smile and helped us understand the
and when we only had a 20€ note, he needed to run out to the nearby bank to get change which was quite endearing. The sandwiches themselves were quite scrumptious but if you're expecting the toasted sandwich to be hot as we were, you might be a little disappointed. They're nice as a quick and convenient...
