Introducing the perfect Italian on-the-go food: Panini. Here’s our list of the best 6 panini in Rome.

Or panino if you’re talking about just one sandwich. What are panini exactly? Sandwiches, basically. First you take some freshly baked bread and fill it with any one of various combinations of fresh vegetables, meats, cheeses, and maybe a sauce or two, and you’ve got a nourishing, filling, and completely delicious take-away meal. It makes an excellent meal in itself, or a snack to hold you over until you’re ready to sit down somewhere.

But wherever you choose to stay in Rome, be sure to eat your way through our list of the best 6 panini in Rome:
