"very delicious, fresh, and tasty sandwiches. the amount of filling often depends on who is serving you, but nevertheless they are tasty and good value and you can customise as you like. service is quick and friendly. i had the number 8, and the number 8 with porchetta which was amazing"

"Beautiful sandwiches made with love & qualitative ingredients. I had the 107 (with figs) and it was delish with a true balance of flavors and very tasty ingredients! The rest of the menu seems so great as well, I felt sad I couldn't try everything! Prices are really decent for the quality!
I didn't wait at all because I went after lunch peak. But I can tell it is a busy place since the day after I passed by during lunch time and there was definitely a big queue!
The owner is really kind and seems passionated. The inside of the shop is greatly decorated in a very homely, friendly and authentic atmosphere.
I had a great time and feels like I stumbled upon a hidden gem.
Thoses places where food is truly an art! (Even if it's 'just' sandwiches)"

"We went here on a whim based on the good reviews and we were not disappointed! Some of the reviews say the bread is stale but bread can come in all different types and textures, this is a harder crumblier beead. You can use any of the ingredients to create your own sandwich, so honestly if you hate your sandwich it’s your own fault. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. I got the 107 based on the reviews. It was quite good, if I got it again I would add leafy greens or something else to it. This is a grab it and go kind of place. The staff is quick and doesn’t cater to bullshit, but is also still kind and accommodating. The prices are very reasonable especially considering how close to the over priced tourist traps it is. Would absolutely recommend. Getting there right at opening is probably best."

The #1-rated restaurant in town, L’Ostellino, happened to be one, so I went there. A little hole in the wall with hardly room to sit, but the sandwiches were fantastic. Big enough to fully satisfy me and once again only €5, which seems to be the going price for all good sandwiches in Italy.
