Baguetteria del Fico

This is exactly what I picture when I want a casual but delicious bite on a charming little side street in Rome. When I arrived shortly after opening for lunch, I was greeted by Claudio, a charismatic man who explained the menu and how ordering works. I decided to try one of their most popular items, the Bonfatti, a mortadella and mozzarella sandwich served on their fresh-made baguette. In addition to sandwiches they also serve bruschetta and boards. My sandwich was delicious. The ingredients were high quality, and the ambiance of sitting outside on this quaint Roman street really added to the experience for me. It was quiet and calming, away from the hustle and bustle of nearby busy piazzas. If you're looking for delicious charcuterie and/or great sandwiches in Roma, I recommend seeking out Baguetteria del Fico.

This place is a 20/10. The man who served us (he may be the owner I’m unsure) was funny, witty and kind. He was PASSIONATE about their food. I mean he was dedicated to us experiencing all the right things. He was on the way to deliver a charcuterie board to another table, and showed us the option, gave us recommendations and even brought out different surprises for us to try. Their meats are fantastic. Their bread is OUTSTANDING. We had the speck sandwich, it’s nuts, try It. The truffle paste on there was so great and It was super balanced. We also had the charcuterie for 1 person but split It, if you’re hungry, double up on it. The man making the food was also so nice. Make the effort to come here it’s beyond worth It and the passion behind the service makes the experience amazing.

The perfect little spot to stop for lunch. The service was impeccable. The staff are hilarious. And the fooooood!! So fresh. So much flavour. We ordered multiple times because we just kept wanting more. So fun, so tasty. And a sweet little private spot off the beaten path.

The best panino I've ever had, hands down, best in Rome and worldwide! don’t know what their secret is, but everything was juicy, packed with flavor, and exceptionally delightful. Total WOW effect. And the service was wonderful - super friendly and warm. Can’t wait to come back! ❤️

Had saw this place on Instagram and had to go! The charcuterie board for 2 was as great as expected, along with a half bottle of wine for €20 per person. The photo below is of the large board. Had a nice wee chat with one of the staff about Scotland and the Hamilton Races (15 mins away from where we live) that he visits regularly! Close to Piazza Navona up a little side street. It is a small place with a few tables just inside and out. Highly recommend!

Baguetteria del Fico is a must visit if you’re in Rome and love incredible sandwiches. The quality here is top notch, everything feels carefully sourced and prepared. We tried the roast beef sandwich and the Pata Negra sandwich, and both were outstanding. The roast beef was perfectly tender and paired beautifully with fresh greens and tomatoes, while the Pata Negra had that melt in your mouth richness you only get from truly exceptional cured ham. The bread was crisp on the outside, soft inside, and held up perfectly. You can tell they care about ingredients, from the amazing porchetta on the counter to the fresh toppings and excellent selection of meats and cheeses. It’s the kind of place where every bite feels authentic and memorable. On top of that, the staff was friendly and the vibe was relaxed, making it the perfect stop for a casual but delicious meal. Easily one of the best sandwiches I’ve had on my trip! Highly recommend stopping in, you won’t be disappointed.

I stopped in for a Serrano sandwich after seeing this was 4.8 stars on Google and was blown away by how fresh, flavorful, and perfectly crafted it was. The baguette had that ideal crunch on the outside with a soft, warm center, and the Serrano ham was incredibly high quality—rich and buttery. It was so good I came twice in my short stay in Roma. Marco and Valerio were friendly and welcoming, and the service felt personal and efficient. It’s the kind of spot that instantly makes you feel like you’ve discovered a local favorite. Highly recommended!

If you are looking for a cozy outdoors place where you can have a bottle of wine or maybe two and have an apertifi experience out of the ordinary this is the place you should visit. At bagutteria you don’t only get to experience outstanding cutting boards of fresh and delicious food you also get a really friendly connection whit the staff and they were very helpful and explaining what to eat and what you should drink with it. Me and my friend had an amazing evening there and can’t wait to go back again someday.

Visited this charming eatery while in Rome ! Delicious, fresh and scrumptious...disappointed when I was done with my panini. A must try when in Rome ...and do say hi to Claudio ..

We had the pastrami and Serrano paninis. Both were delicious. The sourdough rolls used for the sandwiches were outstanding. If you want something casual and different than the typical restaurant, you should try this place. We ate inside but it would be great to take the food home.

Loved the panini here. Great place, awesome food. Highly recommend this for lunch and brunch.

Wonderful service and sandwiches! Located away from the hectic crowds but still close enough to enjoy the atmosphere near the Trevi fountain. The menu is written in Italian and English. Staff is helpful and outgoing. The wait time was short on a crowded day. You can easily enjoy your conversation and your meal. The food smell so good our picky eater son couldn't wait for it to be placed on the table.

The bread was soft and not chewy or crusty, definitely not a baguette. More like a hoagie roll. Fillings were simple and good. I had the culatello with truffle cream. Definitely got the truffle. My friend had the speck with the truffle cream. Also good, perhaps better with the lettuce in it.

This little shop is a hidden gem! If you want the best meat and cheese boards in the area. Very small and intimate...you can watch the team prepare the meats and cheese with care. Apparently the pannis are the popular but we were suitably stratified with our meal. We may need to come back for lunch tomorrow!

We stopped by here reading lot of reviews online and I'm so glad we did. It is walking distance from piazza navona but away from all the hustle and bustle on a quiet street with both indoor and outdoor seating. They also offer lot of beer and wine options. Can't argue the food quality, prices are also honest considering the proximity with Piazza Navona and Pantheon. The great variety of bruschetta left us hesitant, so we decided to try more than one: fresh tomatoes, basil, evo and figs, second one was made with buffalo mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes with pistachio oil and chopped pistachios. Not to mention their panini sandwiches. We ordered the mixed veg grill Sando and classic tomato and fresh buffalo mozzarella sandwich. Over all this is a very good family owned place with great food and service.

Quick and fresh sidewalk eats. There is no table service but the staff is very attentive and makes sure you know when your food and drinks are up. Amazing board of meats and cheeses just what we were after for our first nice in Rome!

Delicioso! Everything is masterfully sourced and crafted. Mortadella and buffalo mozzarella are must tries! Grazie mille!

Handcrafted delicious sandwich. The bread is made in house and the chicken salad was made that morning by the owner. Highly recommend!

A great place for a quick bite in Rome, but it's also a wonderful place to linger. Service is excellent - nab an outside table & then order at the counter. They'll run your food to you. Just two people working there - nice vibe & banter. Vegetarian options. Bread is excellent. All in all, an excellent sandwich shop.

Major disappointment! Went based in reviews - my panino was very dry and tasteless. Barely any Pistachio cream with motadella and two small slices of mozzarella. Just ok

Incredible meat, cheeses, breads and jams. Great prices. We loved the truffle bruschetta and the mixed cheese and meat plate. A must come hole in the wall

Absolutely amazing food. Ordered two sandwiches and a cheese board for two people. Meat and cheeses were extremely flavorful and juicy. Sandwiches have a baguette-like, crunchy bread, would recommend the ham with truffle sandwich. Service took a little long and there's only outside seating, but worth the wait.

We arrived in Rome from California famished and my son found this place on Yelp. We ordered three of their sandwiches and they were delicious! My son went back during our trip a couple more times. Their sandwiches in our opinion are better tasting and less expensive than the well known All'Antico Vinaio.

Great food! Recommend the assorted charcuterie board. My wife, daughter, and I split it and there was more than enough.

Small quaint place with friendly owner that can recommend sandwich and beer. Good food reasonable prices. We came here twice for the Pata Negra with fig marmalade! Give them a try when in Rome!

I would highly recommend coming here for a nice quick lunch. My wife and I ordered the Bonfatti and the Serrano paninis and they were absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly toasted and warm and the Serrano ham and mortadella were to die for. I'm not a big fan of mortadella personally; however, I would 100% order the Bonfatti panini if I go back. Service was excellent also, our sandwiches were ready to go shortly after ordering. We didn't order any of the bruschetta options, but they all sounded so good and I would probably order one next time. They also had some good alternative rock music playing, it fit the vibe of the place. It's also in a great location for gelato or tiramisu afterwards. Don't sleep on this place, come here for a panini!

Thanks to Yelp reviews, took my family to Baguetteria for dinner and I'm so glad we did! The food was excellent and the owner and staff were so great! We had the Speck sandwich, the Pata Negra sandwich and a Turkey sandwich. All three were HUGE and oh so good! With my Pata Negra sandwich, an Italian red beer was suggested and it paired so well! My nephew had the Bruschetta and claimed it to be the best he's ever had. All in all great experience and food at Baguetteria! Highly recommend!

Had the capocollo and it was great! I was super indecisive so they recommended it. Yum and a good price (€6) for a nice sized sandwich. The photo doesn't do it justice!

The attention paid to a simple sandwich turned it into something extraordinary. A one man show on the day we arrived and we were greeted and seated and then treated to excellent bread that was toasted perfectly and my tuna was delicious. 2 sandwich, 2wine and 1 water for 27euro. Great value.

Good sandwiches although I wish they were cheaper and/or bigger :p the bread was toasted and crispy, and the ingredients were fresh. The guy recommended his two fav sandwiches - Giovanna 7€ and Bonfatti 6€. We preferred the Bonfatti. 1€ for bottled water. Free wifi. Credit card accepted.

The best sandwiches and bruschetta in the Rome. Went there two months ago and I still find myself constantly thinking of their food. Kind staff and are willing to help you make the right choice. I would plan another trip to Rome just to go back.

Amazing food, hospitality, and ambiance. Do not miss the opportunity to have one of the most amazing sandwiches you have ever had from two of the most considerate, polite, and attentive gentlemen you will ever come across. Seating is limited, but well worth the wait. Do yourself a favor and go! Your tastebuds will thank you.

This is one of my favorite neighborhood lunch spots in Roma! Not only are there tons of gourmet sandwiches (my favorite is the speck sandwich with truffle paste), there are tons of beer choices. The owner is super-friendly and can recommend a good beer to go with the sandwich you choose. He even gave us some cherries at the end to thank us for dining there -- he did not have to, but we appreciated the gesture and the cherries were deliciously sweet. The sandwich shop is a little hidden from the main streets, but a terrific spot if you find it. You can sit there for a quick bite or stay as long as you like. I think I have even seen a guy reading a book while enjoying a beer there. The owner does not mind. I do not mind. :)

Excellent Salami and Fig sandwich. Bread was fresh. We went back the next day! Highly recommended.

Yoooo this place is amazing. We got two amazing sandwiches. Each was expertly crafted on great toasted baguette or other crusty bread with superb meats and spreads. We had one wild boar salumi with reggiano parmesan argula and olive oil and one parma ham and pecorino with artichock. These sandwiches were no joke. I haven't even mentioned there 100+ beer selection!!!

Flavor was somewhat there for the roastbeef, however bread was really stale and ruined the sandwich

Delicious! One word to describe this gem! It's hiding in the corner but find it and you won't be disappointed! Wonderful selection of craft beers and delicious paninis! You select your bread chose you poison and then viola heaven on a plate. Or better yet have them decide for you the staff is polite, courteous and know how to please their customers. A great hole in the wall away from the tourist trap eateries! If you are visiting the Piazza Navona!

Wow. Excellent meat and cheese try. Very fresh and lots of food. A quite place off the beaten path. I highly recommend this place for a quick bite. The kids got sandwiches which were very good as wel

Stumbled on this little spot after our Vatican and Sistine Chapel tour- tucked in an an alley way. The owner was so welcoming and the restaurant was tiny and so charming! The Bufala was phenomenal!! Perfect place for a quick lunch and a glass of wine. Everything is made right in front of you, so glad we found it!!

Short Story: - Super friendly staff (Father and Son team makes it feel like you are in their kitchen) -Fair Price , we had 2 Sandwiches, 3 Beers and a Glass of Wine for about €30 -Not in touristy alley of restaurants, which we liked that. Not much seating though. -Did I mention the staff was nice, and helpful in selecting what craft beer you would like. -Also they have English menus Long Story: What a find! This little Craft Beer and Sandwich shop is a little a away from all the typical tourist restaurants (Which I liked, makes you feel a little like a local) but nothing google maps can't handle to get you there. The sandwiches and food are all handled with care and dedication. I watched the chef make my Chicken Sandwich (Highly Recommend, with Ciabatta Romana Bread) for at least 5 minutes and kept wondering is he still working on mine?! And watched as he kept adding toppings, awesome! They also had a large selection of craft beer and the staff is definitely willing to help you select something. Overall great experience. Will go back, next time in Rome

The sandwiches and dessert here were great! What made our experience absolutely awesome was the guy serving us though. He was so fun, energetic and very entertaining during our dinner. He spotted me taking a picture of their huge beer selection and quickly asked me to pose with him and some prosciutto for a photo op. We each ordered a panini and got some beer and wine. Like other reviewers mentioned, there isn't a beer list so you describe what you want and they will narrow down your choices or you can pick one off the huge wall of beer. The sandwiches were large and quite filling and when he heard it was our honeymoon our server brought us each a piece of the most delicious cheesecake I've ever had! Not too sweet, just perfect on a delicious graham cracker crust. Our 2 big sandwiches, beer and wine came to 23 euros and the desserts were on the house. I'm sad it was our last day in Rome or we definitely would have eaten there again!

This place is no joke! Everything is super fresh. The staff is super friendly. And it's just an all-around good feeling. In the USA, you have subway. And every time you go and you start to shed a little tear. In Rome, you have this place. The godfather would approve.

This is a long overdue review I promised them I would write. I had a fantastic meal here in June 2016. It was our first meal we had when we visited Rome. Since we arrived around 3:00PM, we didn't have to wait. The sandwiches and platter of meat were really good. On top of it, they even gave us a bowl of cherry at the end. This place is definitely worth visiting. I don't write reviews often, but we had such wonderful service here that I think they deserve a good review.

We spent a week in Rome in April 2017 and this place quickly became our fave spot! Amazingly friendly service from the owner and his staff made us come back 3 times during the week. We loved the sandwiches, meat and cheese plates and an amazing selection of beers from all over the world. If ever back in Rome - another stop in here would be at the top of the list!

Excellent sandwich shop with 100s of craft beer to choose from. Exceptionally friendly stay that customized whatever you want. Thanks for a great break from the heavy pasta and wines of Italy.

My favorite place for panini. Not quite the sit-down place, but there's a bar and a couple small tables inside if you're not accustomed to the fast-paced walk-while-you-eat Italian trend (yet they're so slow in everything else). The menu is there for recommendations; they usually let you make your own assorted baguette sandwich. They have several kinds of bread and an amazing variety of prosciutto. Forget the mayo or mustard, ask for the basil or truffle creme. The consistency of the service depends on the mood of the staff, the owner is usually there and is very hospitable. He gave me and my partner some tasty bites of "hors d'oeuvres," pardon my French! He also gave his suggestions from the large craft beer selection that covers an entire wall. The space is very modern and has fun hanging lamps made from salvaged beer bottles. The bar made of glass and a large prosciutto slicer is placed behind the counter so you can watch how your panini are prepared. Definitely a fun place to take visitors and go myself for a quick bite before school.

Super great sandwiches！And very dedicated chefs! Though in a small ally, but you get unforgettable and worthwhile experience with sandwiches! Highly recommended! P.S. we ordered one more after we finished, can't get enough!

This place is wonderful, though very small. Extremely friendly staff that changed the music when we told them we were from Cali, not requested, but it was a great playlist. The wife and I shared a large meat plate with 4 kinds of meat and 5 cheeses with toasted bread. It was quite large and we didn't finish. They have a large selection of beer and we just said what type we liked and were given great selections.

Awesome small sandwich shop! Our friends Jorge and Ivette ( neighbors in our Redondo Beach home city) recommended this place. We had a veggie panini and one with Tuscan salami - wow loved it and the glasses of vino bianchi made it even better . This hard to find but wonderful place is Da Bomb. In the neighborhood behind the pantheon.

I was looking for a quick bite to eat and was drawn in by the menu outside. For 5 euros + my beer I had one of my best meals in Rome! The staff was incredibly kind and engaging throughout the experience I will be sure to go back when I come back to Rome. I had a great vegetarian panino with delicious zucchini and mushrooms

Great sandwiches at affordable prices. Had the parmigianino, raw ham and capocollo. All 3 were good!

Got a cheese plate, beer, and wine here. Everything was delicious and everyone that works here is extremely helpful and friendly. Huge cheese plate with great cheeses. Definitely recommend!

Great Italian food, lovely wine and very nice and friendly staff. They were so cool that have offered to my gf and I an amazing homemade cheesecake along with a very tasty limoncello! Surely will go back there and 5 stars are deserved. The guy from Tuscany and the Parisian lady :-)

Delicious panino...so much better and fresher than from the stands and shops on every corner. Everything was so fresh; meats and cheese sliced for each sandwich. Huge selection of beer. The guy working there was super nice. Also the place is adorable!

The best ham and cheese I have ever tasted! A totally new level for sandwiches. A must visit if you are in Rome. Owner and son amazing people and great service, make you feel welcomed even if you only know the basic Italian. We are so coming back to the Rome and hope they continue to be here so we can come back!! They have a good variety on beers and good wine too.

Amazing baguette sandwiches! Freshly sliced as you wait. I recommend the Bufalo. The thinly sliced Grilled veggies are soaked in an amazing olive oil dip. Very nice staff as well.

We've only been in Rome for less than 24 hours, and we've already been here twice! The food and beer selection is incredible, but the real gem here is the customer service! They are warm and welcoming to curious tourists like us. A great place for a craft beer, a delicious panini, and a warm smile!
