  I'm from the Portland, Oregon foodie area. I'm serious about flavor. I also lived in Central America for a couple years and left fearful of pig product but my husband convinced me to try this place. Our first trip to Rome was a gastric punishment. People served poor quality high priced food. We learned our lesson for this second trip and are using Yelp too. Thanks to Yelp and Pane & Vino, our first meal in Rome was fantastic!!!!
  All the sandwiches have this incredible and well seasoned juicy roast of pork except one which is the burger.
  Each sandwich has a different bread...red is colored with tomatoes from Mt Vesuvius. Black is colored with squid ink (don't worry there's zero squid flavor). Yellow is colored with Turmeric!
  My husband got the burger. It was absolutely delicious! I got the special...HELLO! Incredible and big so you can totally share it or take your time they don't push you out. There's alcoholic options along with sodas and waters to drink.
  The owner is wonderful! He refers to his restaurant as his house (so he'd never charge a fee for you to sit and eat there) and his menu items, creations, are his "children."
  He speaks 6 languages fluently so no worries if you don't speak Italian, he also speaks English, Spanish, French, and then 2 others that aren't Latin based. (He also speaks an additional 2 dialects not so fluently but hey, he's doing well in my book and very helpful to the 4 different couples and families that were in his tiny restaurant while we were there.
  Eat here afterwards before your Coliseum tour.
  Also, he's happy to give you suggestions for the area...he recommended a gem nearby of ST Clementine basilica to go check out some newly discovered ruins! It was incredible and we would have never known without him offering.
  We loved the food so much that we made it our last meal before leaving Rome as well!

  A yummy thing happened on the way to the Colosseum ...
  
  Pane & Vino is a tiny sandwich shop near il Colosseo that specializes in local porchetta (stuffed pork loin) and is run by the friendliest owner of all time. He gets to know every customer on a first name basis. I'd go back more to see him than to have a sandwich. Seriously, he's pretty awesome.
  
  The menu is simple and focused on sandwiches featuring their famous porchetta so we tried two recommendations from the peppy proprietor. While waiting, I got a miniature bottle of Chardonnay and my spouse sipped a Coke Zero.
  
  The Traiano Porchetta sandwich (12€ - 4 stars) is an original creation of the out-going owner with a mighty Mustard-flavored blend of Roast Pork, Sun-dried Tomatoes, and Grilled Eggplant. I like mustard and, therefore, liked this specialty much more than my wife, but we ended up ignoring portions of the so-so bun.
  
  Pane & Vino Special Porchetta (12€ - 4 stars) was a huge sandwich with the sliced Roast Pork Porchetta plus Mozzarella Cheese, Grilled Eggplant, Grilled Peppers, Mushrooms, Lettuce, and Mayo on classic Italian Pane. It needed more mayonnaise or a sprinkle of balsamic and olive oil for my tastes, but there was no denying it was a hearty hero.
  
  There are lots of pane bread and sandwich shops in Rome, but there is only one -- Pane & Vino -- run by the most welcoming of owners ever. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll be sure to stop in for a casual chat and some yummy porchetta sandwiches on the way to the Colosseum.

  I had one of the best sandwiches and burgers in my life here! The pork sandwich and the burger were both freaking amazing! I had a bite of the burger that another patron was kind enough to share.
  
  This is a short walk from the Colosseum. The owner is very passionate about sandwiches!
  
  The pork sandwich had a turmeric bun and the burger a squid ink bun. Nothing like it! Check this place out after taking pics at the Colosseum!

  Great eat and go spot! Affordable prices, fast service and easy menu to look at. After a nice day walking and enjoying the touristic sites, this place is a must before heading to your hotel and getting ready for a nice dinner.

  My friend and I shared the Fabius burger, and it was soooo good! Nice and juicy and very satisfying, even eating just half. Also, the owner is so kind and welcoming. Great spot!
