Vecchio Borgo

Around the Vatican everything is expensive so it’s nice to find a great sandwich toasted with a coke for 5 euro …

As long as you order something from inside the glass case that you can see, it’s fine. Some of the complaints about the microwaved pasta… well all I can say is it’s an Italian bar– you get sandwiches and drinks and pizza in a bar… not pasta.
The specials with a sandwich and a drink were quite reasonable, particularly since it’s just a block off of the main drag where everyone seems to be walking on the way to Vatican museum. Going a block out of your way pays off.
By the way, the sandwich + coke special is actually a fountain coke– with ice! (not, a lot, but it’s still ice)
We had an assortment of the sandwiches and the folded pizza + coke specials. It was nice to be able to sit in the air conditioning since it was over 90 in Rome that day. They don’t charge extra to sit at a table and eat.
Their gelato counter didn’t look like it had much turnover– ice crystals on the gelato, we passed on that. Their cappucinos were good, though.
If you want a quick bite before you brave the queue at the Vatican Museum, check this place out.

It was a perfect place for a quick bite to eat. I give it 4 stars for what it is– a café, quick place to eat. They have sandwiches, pasta and pizza. But I would stick to their quick cheap menu– sandwich with a soda (it’s like $ 5 – 6). I tried pasta, but that I didn’t really enjoy.
Cheap, welcoming, lots of seating!

Not a shabby place for a quick snack (or rest from all the walking after the Vatican)
Plus you can’t really beat 5 € for a sandwich AND a soda.
My suggestion here is to stick to a sandwich. I’ve had both a sandwich and pasta. And I am not a fan of the pazta. It’s frozen and microwaved.
On the other hand, it’s cheap and good enough to come in so I say, check It out if ur near by.
Also, this is one of the few places that offer ice with soda. Lol JACKPOT.
