The story

The sign outside says alimentari, but this tiny family grocery near Santa Trinita, around since 1973, is really a panino factory. Locals come for honest prices and classics like roast beef with mustard, or tongue with green sauce. Take your sandwich to the back room, grab a stool and a glass of wine.

🍽️ What to order

  • Roast beef with mustard
  • Tongue with salsa verde
  • A glass of house wine

💡 Insider tips
