The story
Tucked away on Via Santa Chiara in Assisi, Ribelle earned Best Street Food in Umbria 2023 and lives up to the title. Creators at JustUs called their visit an “unforgettable, almost mystical experience,” crediting the high-quality ingredients and, notably, the homemade bread, which they said reflects the “heart and passion” behind every sandwich. The concise, inclusive menu offers a cod panino deemed “fantastic” for its fresh components, plus vegan and gluten-free options. Standout dishes like the Fish and Pink sandwiches also earned thumbs-ups, alongside the namesake Ribelle sandwich and a selection of beers.
It’s a casual, trendy local spot that proves street food in Umbria can be both soulful and award-winning. With just a handful of well-executed items, Ribelle feels less like a quick lunch stop and more like a labor of love—a pint-sized sandwich shop that rewards a detour off the main path.

“Inside the Fish sandwich I found a wonderful surprise: purslane, a spicy, herbaceous weed. What a show! It's something unexpected – a panino with baccalà in umido – I invite everyone to try it because it's worth it.”

Panino Vegano
I would have never eaten a vegan sandwich, but it's delicious. The bread is wonderful, top 10/10. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients – the homemade ciabatta, the guacamole, the salad.
Fish
Inside the Fish sandwich I found a wonderful surprise: purslane, a spicy, herbaceous weed. What a show! It's something unexpected – a panino with baccalà in umido – I invite everyone to try it because it's worth it.
Pink
The Pink has homemade mortadella, sun-dried tomatoes and burrata cream. I feel the heart behind these products, I'm emotional. Few simple products but made with so much love and research.
Pork
The Pork is the flagship: pork shoulder slow-cooked for 36 hours at low temperature, with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Also this one is emotional – you can taste the work and the heart that went into it.
Panino Senza Glutine
This is the focaccia they use as bread for the gluten-free option. With my experience, I would have never guessed it was gluten-free. It's exceptional – the little focaccia with mortadella is delicious.
