Mizio's Street Food — Restaurant in Rome

After eating here i now will make a bold statement: On the contrary to the popular opinion i believe that Rome is a Pizza and a Pasta City, not a Sandwich City... I will say the Same thing here that i said when i was reviewing Pane E Salame: it doesn´t even come close to The famous All Antico Vinaio in Florence and also LBacaro Di Bischeri in Venice... Those sandwiches are superior in every right. They taste more thought out, the ingredient combinations build a better more round tasting harmony. The other thing i think stands in the way of a better overall result is the fact that they offer too many breads. The breads however are not all of the same quality. The Fresh Focaccia is the best i´ve had and there is a strong gap in quality between this one and the "Pizza style sandwich bread" (?) which is quite dry and honestly to me seems not the ideal type of bread for an italian sandwich. I think it would have been smarter to rather have one good bread (looking at you all antico vinaio) instead of 3. The next thing is the abscence of any prices to be found to know how much a sandwich costs. Almost all people in the line i was waiting were wondering how much these sandwiches cost. I ended up paying 50 for 6 sandwiches which i thought was on the expensive side of Rome sandwich standard. The best sandwich i´ve had was the one with the beautiful Finocchiona Salame which is the ideal sandwich salami that is also used in All Antico Vinaios most famous sandwich. The Sandwich was on the "pizza type of bread" i mentioned before and i knew that it wouldve been so much better on a Focaccia which they were sadly out. Lastly i wanna say that i rate my own personal experience which is important to consider because i feel like that if you get the right bread (Focaccia) the sandwiches would be...

Mizio’s Street Food is a small takeaway shop near the Roman Forum in Rome. It serves large, fresh focaccia sandwiches filled with a range of tasty options like Italian cheeses, cured meats, and preserved vegetables. The focaccias are generous in size—big enough to fill you up for lunch or even dinner—and are generally priced between 8 and 12 euros, which is good value considering the quality and portion size.

The shop itself is very simple with no indoor seating, but what it lacks in space, it makes up for in flavour and friendliness. The staff are warm, welcoming, and generous with their servings. They’re happy to explain the different combinations and help you choose something based on your taste. Despite the busy location, service is quick and efficient.

While there are no tables or chairs inside, there’s a handy bench just across the street next to a public drinking fountain. It’s a good spot to sit and enjoy your sandwich while taking in the local street atmosphere.

If you’re visiting the Forum or wandering around the Monti area and want something quick, filling, and genuinely local, Mizio’s is a great option. It’s casual, tasty, and a nice break from more expensive...

I’ve had my share of visiting unfriendly places and going to unfriendly countries but I have never seen a place THIS unfriendly. We walked so long to get there so excited to try it only to be welcomed by one of the meanest and rudest persons I have ever seen. He was annoyed that it took us a long time to decide (literally 2 minutes because we couldn’t understand the menu) and then he went inside because he couldn’t take waiting for us this long. The menu is also really confusing since there are no prices. The food is nice and the portion is big but I didn’t enjoy it because of how upset I was with how the guy treated us. We couldn’t understand well what he was saying so we got confused when he asked if we pay together or not, then he asked us if we want drinks. We didn’t hear him so he literally shouted DRINKS!??????? We were so SHOCKED. Maybe he’s underpaid maybe he hates tourists maybe he broke up I don’t know but he had no right to ruin our day like that. Never coming back...
