Historic Testaccio bakery for classic Roman breads, pizza al taglio, and prepared foods at low prices; expect mostly excellent bakes with occasional inconsistency and brusque service at peak times.
Panificio Passi delivers solid neighborhood bakery quality anchored by excellent bread, pizza rossa, and pastries and fast, cheerful service. However, occasional inconsistency on white pizza and seasonal items and cramped seating that discourages lingering prevent a higher grade. For grab-and-go Roman classics at budget prices, it's a worthwhile stop; for sit-down dining, expectations should be modest.
One caveat: Inconsistent execution reported on some days for white pizza and pies
