Nicole in Rome

Occasion: Late night snacks/dinner (deliveroo)

Impressions: Look, I was skeptical about this place at first too. To be honest I am very wary of places that “influencers” advertise. A lot of the times it’s just a huge scam. Also we hate lines and every time we passed, there was a giant line of tourists with what looked like at least a 45 min wait. However, we decided to give All’Antico Vinaio a shot when it was available on deliveroo and donkey punch was not. Actually, we have only had Antico Vinaio through deliveroo. I don’t think I would have tried it otherwise. Also if it stopped being available thorugh deliveroo I would just not eat it anymore. The panini’s are worth a wait, but it’s like dintaifung-I’m not waiting more than 20 minutes for them.

The Food: The bread here is fire lol. It’t not too heavy or oily. Usually it’s delivered with the bread still slightly warm, but even when it isn’t warm anymore the bread holds its crunch. It’s not too tough to chew and not too oily. The fillings are also decent. You order from their menu or you can make your own. The first time I ordered la tricolore. The american in me was like…idk about beef carpaccio, but then I remembered we in italy lol. BRO ITS FIRE. Also I would say it’s not like cold raw beef. You can see from the photo above that it’s close to prime rib and I love prime rib and have it all the time in the US. The filings are fire as well. When I make my own, I will usually do beef carpaccio, stracciatella, and crema di truffle, you can try that one out if your not a fan of too much sauce but also don’t want your panino to be dry. Also the portions are a bit large. I would say plan on being really hungry or splitting two sandwiches between two adults and a child. I also recommend you grab a coke or something carbonated with your meal because it is a bit heavy.

Payment: On average the total cost for two panini ordered from deliveroo is 20-22 euros. I would say it is well worth it to pay this much given that I don’t have to wait in line and our order as never been messed up. I also recommend the panini’s because the portion sizes are good compared to the price point.
