Neighborhood sandwich shop, fresh homemade wine and incredible people.
Food: sandwiches were outstanding. Not over stuffed, every ingredient had a purpose, each individually was great, but together they were amazing. Fresh bread had the perfect amount of chew and size for mouth bites. What can I say, the sandwich was amazing and should be what every sandwich looks up to.
Wine: great and refreshing after a long walk, served chilled either in a half later or smaller Graf. The wine is young but perfect for afternoon drinking. Go red!!
Service: the two gentlemen behind the counter provided first class service. We couldn't speak a word of Italian but they did their best and took care of us. If I lived in the neighborhood I'd be back here every other day.

We also tried their red wine (produced at the family vineyard!), fresh bread, and a cheesy lasagna with mushrooms and artichokes. The food was DELICIOUS and such a general portion that we had to ask them to wrap up the leftovers for us.
When the bill arrived, we were pleasantly surprised. It was SUCH a bargain for the quality of the food! If you're in Rome and want to try some really tasty, regional ingredients, make a beeline for...
