Highlights from 2 creator reviews of nonna pina.
A family-run bar in Rome where the owners' sons started a new tramezzino format called Nonna Pina — the tramezzini are fresh, well-made, and I liked them, though some details like the tomato cutting and filling distribution could be improved to justify the price.
