This sandwich with meatballs with tomato or polpette della nonna Al Pomodoro, I tried in my last visit to the eternal city a couple of months ago.
It was at the premises of Mara Cipriani and Sergio Esposito, Mordi e Vai, ("bite and go") located in the Testaccio market, a place that nobody took seriously at the beginning and is now an essential food fast but authentic and quality. I notice that it always has a tail, a long tail but it is worth 100% save because the reward is a sandwich so you don't forget.
The Testaccio market has become a point of reference in the city to eat and Mordi e Vai has joined almost a dozen jobs that serve meals from various genres, but which is more popular, this is. Probably because their sandwiches have the flavour of a city that knows to Holy glory, but in a format. This today is not the most popular (is it the alesso di escotona), but if you liked most.
This today is the meatballs with tomato sandwich. A few meatballs that hide the secret of romano cheese and a tomato sauce without which they would not be what they are. Of course, it is my version of this sandwich, but not I have due do badly because that proves it, already do not want another.

Hello. In one of your programs in kitchen channel you commented that you buy a tomato (I do not remember if fried or natural tritutado). Can you tell me the brand and where to buy it?
Thank you in advance.
Hello Jesus, because I do not remember exactly what counted in the program, but I can tell you that my favorite is Mutti. It is Italian and has 99.9% tomato and 0.01% salt. It is 100% natural and also with a large concentration of tomato that does not have much water, and is fried much faster than others that contain a lot of water and in the end you have to wait a long time for it to evaporate and when it is ready it stays in very little quantity. They sell it in El Corte Inglés, Hipercor, and in some Carrefour and Alcampo. One hug and you'll tell me if you try it
Hello. In the ingredients of the meatballs is milk twice, on the one hand 40 gr and on the other 3 tablespoons. Are the two amounts thrown out or is it repeated?
Hello rose mary, 3 tablespoons of milk is added only. A hug and lots of gracais for writing
