Reviewers rave about the Panino con mortadella, praising its simple perfection. The overall vibe is one of warm, unpretentious satisfaction.
“This sandwich with mortadella is cut with a knife — you can really taste the difference. I take a sip of Vim brouet and I'm already enjoying it. The bread is wrapped in carta civerba and we're already loving it. Exceptional sandwich, immediate location, devastating. Even today, the best paninaro didn't disappoint us.”
