"This sandwich shop in the historic Mercato Albinelli is open from early morning–so swing by for a breakfast of gnocco fritto and coffee–until the early afternoon. There are simple focaccia sandwiches served from the counter before noon, but from midday until closing (around 3:30pm) sisters Sara and Chiara Fantoni serve five sandwiches (for around €5 each) and they are awesome (both the sandwiches and the sisters). The menu changes daily but you might find panini such as: smoked swordfish with white peaches, capers, olives, and onions; crispy pancetta with arugula and truffle sauce; or eggplant, roasted tomatoes, and goat ricotta." - Katie Parla

Great panini's! Made my friend a vegetarian option off the menus with fresh veggies of the day. Friendly.

Admittedly, we came here because Aziz Ansari came here while filming Master of None, and they even have a picture of him out front. It's a small space with a few outdoor tables. There isn't really room inside to eat. The outdoor parklet is nice because there's a glass barrier to the street, and there are umbrellas for of it's sunny, blankets for if it's cold. The focus is sandwiched. Paninis are €7 each. There's a menu on the wall in Italian with the 5 daily choices (including a vegetarian one). Wines are cheap: €3.50-5 a glass. We tried: - Braesola with truffle cream: I love that the braesola here is not as salty as in the US - Mortadella with fava bean purée: unexpectedly good You can grab a glass of wine and walk around the market as you wait for your sandwich - no sure if it's really allowed, but no one stopped us. Also, the Mercato has free WiFi. The woman working there were very patient while we decided on our order, and she spoke English. Cash only.

While this sandwich shop can be chaotic around lunchtime, the shop owners are so patient and happy to help you find the perfect panino :). We chose two sausage sandwiches- one with pumpkin and one with green sauce- both were delicious! We also enjoyed a glass of the recommended Lambrusco while we waited.
