La Salumeria

La Salumeria isn't just a sandwich shop; it's a charismatic culinary experience that immediately became my favorite in Rome and the second-best I’ve found in all my Italian travels. Tucked away with a small, yet inviting and charming atmosphere, this spot perfectly blends a fresh, modern aesthetic with old-world charm, emphasized by the cured meats hanging on display. It’s the ideal locale for a casual date or catching up with friends over a glass of local wine and a delicious bite.

My family and I managed to sample a fantastic selection, including the Keep Calm, Bacca Rossa, Williams, and Fico sandwiches, along with the generous Iberico Taglieri (charcuterie board). While everything was undeniably delicious, the Keep Calm and the Fico were the absolute standouts.
The Keep Calm is a masterpiece of textural and flavor balance. It masterfully combines Prosciutto cotto with crema di radicchio, stracciatella cheese, cherry tomatoes (pomodorini), and rughetta (arugula). The creaminess of the stracciatella provides a luxurious base that is perfectly cut by the necessary acid from the tomatoes and the sharp, welcome bite of the red radish cream. It’s a composition that truly compliments itself and elevates simple ingredients to an art form.
Not to be overshadowed, the Fico sandwich was another clear winner, thanks to the star element: the fig. Its rich, sweet flavor was absolutely delicious, providing an unforgettable sweetness that made the whole sandwich sing.

Beyond the food, the service truly sets La Salumeria apart. The guys behind the meat slicers were exceptional—friendly, genuinely willing to help, and clearly passionate about the great food they create.

If you’re looking for high-quality, perfectly balanced Italian sandwiches and charcuterie in a cozy, beautiful setting, this is the place. We highly recommend swinging by La Salumeria; you won't regret making it your own favorite Roman stop!

5/5 — A perfect Roman find

I stumbled across La Salumeria near Castel Sant’Angelo and ended up having one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever tasted. The star of the show was the Pork in Progress — absolutely sublime. The porchetta was melt‑in‑the‑mouth tender with crispy edges, packed with flavour, and paired perfectly with fresh bread and simple, high‑quality ingredients. It’s the kind of sandwich that stops you mid‑bite.

The atmosphere is warm, casual, and authentically Roman. Staff are friendly, the music is great, and everything is sliced fresh right in front of you. It feels like a proper local gem rather than a tourist trap.

Prices are very fair for the quality, and it’s ideal whether you want a quick bite or a relaxed snack with a drink. If you’re anywhere near Castel Sant’Angelo, don’t miss this place — especially the Pork in Progress.

We just had the best fresh sandwiches here- with ample glasses of wine. The sandwiches were very flavorful and the service was outstanding! The music was awesome too, which encouraged us to linger over our meal and talk to each other more. Thank you for the lovely experience!

After visiting Castel Sant'Angelo, I ended up here and am absolutely thrilled. I had the Panino Imperiale – and it was simply phenomenal! The quality of the ingredients is outstanding; you can instantly taste that they only use the finest, freshest gourmet products. The bread was perfectly crispy and the combination of flavors was a dream. 💕

Beautiful meat & cheese boards. Everything was so delicious. My family of 5 split a large meat board and it was spectacular. They sell sandwiches and alcohol as well so they've got something for everyone. Definitely recommend.
