Fuorinorma

Fuorinorma ended up being one of my favorite food stops in Rome. The location in Monti is fantastic—close enough to the Colosseum to walk, yet far enough from the main tourist chaos that it feels authentic and local. The place itself has a relaxed and casual vibe, perfect for sitting down after a long day of exploring. Instead of trying their famous sandwiches, we decided to go for the pizza and cheese balls, and I’m so glad we did. The pizza was thin, crispy on the edges, and topped with high-quality ingredients that tasted incredibly fresh. The cheese balls were the real surprise—crispy on the outside, gooey and flavorful on the inside, absolutely addictive. Paired with a glass of their house wine, it made for such a satisfying meal without being too heavy. The staff were friendly and welcoming, always smiling and happy to help. That said, when the place got busy, the service slowed down a bit, and it took longer than expected to get our food. Also, the seating area is fairly small, so at peak times it can feel a little cramped. Still, these small inconveniences didn’t take away from the overall experience. The food quality, the atmosphere, and the fair prices made it an absolute standout in Rome. If you’re in the Monti neighborhood and looking for something delicious and relaxed, Fuorinorma is a must-try. For me, it’s an easy 5/5.

The best sandwiches in all of Rome. I ate number 16 (roasted pork, tuna sauce and sun dried tomatoes) and it was the best sandwich I ever had. Staff is very friendly and nice. It’s an open kitchen so you can see it being made.

The best sandwich in Rome, and quite possibly the best I’ve had in Italy. Absolutely phenomenal, had to restrain myself from ordering another after finishing the first. Staff are super sweet and friendly, really nice vibe to the place. A little hard to find a seat, but that’s only because of how popular the place is. Despite that, food is ready super fast and tables open up quickly too. Very reasonable prices too, around €7-€9. If you’re gonna eat anywhere in Rome, eat here!

Very kind servers, nice ambience and delicious freshly made sandwiches for a good price! You can also change the condiments if you don’t like something which is great. Definitely recommend!

We stopped by for some late night sandwiches, and they were absolutely delicious. The Porchetta was amazing, and they put some of the crunchy exterior on every sandwich. My wife got a turkey sandwich with pesto, sundried tomatoes, and mozzarella. It was excellent. I will be coming back here again before we leave Rome to get a sandwich for my travels. Highly recommend coming here.
