Our favorite pizza place that we went to in Italy. Happy we made the teeny trek out here in the rain for it. It seems like half of the diners here go for their sandwiches and half go for the pizza. We came here twice for their pizza. Each "1" you order they cut off a big slice and then cut that one in half. Lunch for two can be as cheap as around 6 Euro. We loved all the flavors we tried - mushroom, sausage, proscuitto and cheese. The pizza is crisped just right and the crust has the right amount of thickness. The pizza isn't under or overly covered with toppings either. Quick, simple, cheap and easy lunch. The guys here are friendly too. Highly recommended!

This place has great food for an amazing price. It has a very peaceful atmosphere and I loved my meal. I would highly recommend coming here for a quick, quality, and inexpensive meal. (10/30/2017)

So fun! A little hard to find. The nav passes the restaurant. It's located on the street with the vendors. Just a few stores away from the corner. Pizza is delicious. Chianti clásico is Smooth and delicious.

For the late night dinner on the cheap, this is the spot. Closes at midnight so you have some wiggle room on getting in. Casual dining setup where you order your focaccia bread sandwiches or pizza, then sit on one of the benches to eat. The set up is simple but the flavor is anything but. The speck sausage and Mozzarella pizza had a slight spice to add to the savory. Their sandwiches are made to order like spinach and mozzarella or the bacon and mozzarella. The menu was in chalk and from what I understood, the items change daily. So what I had one day may not be there the next. This is also a good "on the go" spot for sandwiches as they were not spilling out the sides when biting into them.

Love the simple and clean counter!

Was directed here by an old lady at another pizzeria coz we told her we wanted pizza by slices. Came here and did a DIY foccacia and it was delicious! Simple deco, comfort food. Nice!

Super friendly staff and reasonable prices. I got the melenzane picante (eggplant) and funghi focaccine sandwiches each for 2.50 E. The bread is buttery and quite tasty, and the sandwich is heated in the oven right on the spot. My companion tried the mushroom pizza. When the server cut a pizza slice, I thought he was preparing the 2 slices I ordered (2.50 per slice; price varies per topping types). However, it turns out the slices are quite large, and he was cutting the first of two slices. The pizza crust is also buttery similar to the focaccia. It is crispy and thick the way I like it. There are wooden benches if you dine in. Overall the restaurant is a bit dark. They provide sturdy cardboard-like trays covered with wax paper if you take out. This place is near the train station and hence quite a hike if you live on the other side of Firenze.

For an early dinner/quick bite (630) it was perfect - good cheap food and wine, and so pleasantly quiet and away from the heat of the day!

What a fantastic spot- we may have been lucky or went during a down turn, but we didn't wait more…read morethan 5 minutes in line before putting in an order. Found a table upstairs (there's a small room up there with 4-5 tables) and by the time we got up there, our sandwiches were ready to be picked up. The bread is fantastic, crispy outside and a nice chew in the middle. Everything tasted fresh. I could eat these everyday. Prices are reasonable, everything from 7-15 euros I think.

**I Girone de' Ghiotti -- Florence, Italy **…read more Before leaving Florence, we had to make a stop at the viral sandwich spot everyone seems to rave about--and I'll admit, we arrived before opening, second in line, slightly skeptical about whether the hype was actually deserved. **OH. MY. GOD. It was.** This was hands down one of the best sandwiches we've ever had. The bread was fresh and perfectly crisp on the outside while still soft enough to hold all the incredible fillings together. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully put together. The menu has around 18 different combinations, and while they're happy to make some adjustments, I actually appreciated that they encourage you not to over-customize. Their combinations are designed so you can taste each ingredient the way it's intended. We went with **the Suicida and the Golosa**, and both were absolutely delicious. Each had its own personality, with layers of flavor that somehow worked perfectly together without becoming overwhelming. There's something about standing in line on a little Florentine street, watching these sandwiches being prepared, and then taking that first bite that makes the whole experience even better.

We came back to Fratellini a couple times during our trip to try different sandwiches, and every sandwich we tried was fresh and flavorful. Service was quick, and there was no line. They do offer alcoholic beverages, but their sandwiches are the star of the show!

November 9, 2024 2:30PM…read more It does appear they have two stalls on the same street that you can order from. One side seemed to have more alcohol on display and the side I was on was more sandwich focused, but I'm pretty sure you can order the same things from both windows. Initially I was going to get the 21 - Fresh Sausage and Eggplant because I'm an eggplant lover... the lady at the counter was kind enough to let me know that the fresh sausage is actually rare, uncooked sausage and gave me a small piece to try. I was getting ready to get on a train that day and didn't want something that might not sit well with me, so I moved on to number 27 spicy salami and cream cheese. My partner got the number 1, ham, cream cheese and rocket salad. Both are very good sized and oh so delicious. The line moved quickly, so many options for decision paralysis. This is the place for schiacciate Florentine as recommended from friends who used to live here. Definitely would recommend to study up their menu before coming so it's easier to pick what you want. This is more of a stall and you grab and go, we stood around the sidewalk and inhaled our sandwiches. Watch out for the pigeons getting ready to take your crumbs too, you can see them on the ledge of the building getting ready to attack. A must visit for Florence.

We ate here twice a day even got sandwiches for the plane ride across the pond. You walk in and can sample all 5 types of meat, cheeses, select topping and select your type of roll. The Ciabatta Toscini is crusty on the outsoft but pilloy soft on the inside. One can also mix the selections of meats. The crown jewel is the veggies: tomatoes, argula, zucchini, sun dried tomatoes (best one), salsas, grilled peppers and pesto. If you are a foodie, this is your dream sandwich as you can create whatever you want. The value here is huge.

It would be the third sandwich spot on our trip, and we had been to a couple of bangers beforehand that set the bar. I was a bit worried that we were getting lured into a tourist trap because of the restaurant being by the duomo, but it was located behind it where there was much less foot traffic compared to the front facing Piazza Santa Maria Novella. We arrived around noon on a Sunday. My husband and I arrived early enough to beat the lunch crowd, so we had no wait at all. By the time we finished our sandwiches, we saw the queue out the door. There were a couple of high tables inside the restaurant, but there was more seating outdoor. I really liked how you can customize your sandwich the way you wanted down to the bread, meats, cheeses, and toppings. They didn't only have schiaccata bread, which I thought was cool. You had other options of breads like ciabatta. Panini Toscani allows you to sample their various meats, such as porchetta, proscuitto, mortadella, etc. As someone who doesn't eat pork, one of the employees had me sample their various cheeses instead. Since I've been eating schiaccati the past 2 days, I stuck to the same bread as a baseline and added soft cheese, arugula, spicy marinara, eggplant, and sundried tomatoes. I enjoyed my sandwich very much, and the crunch on the bread was everything.

We needed to try these sandwiches. So after a brief discussion with the guy manning the window (they roast the pigs outside the city, and just serve them here - it's not a large space) we got three of them. The classic, the one with the truffles, and the spicy one. We cut them all up, and presented them to our larger group as a porchetta tasting. The verdict? They are all winners. Every single sandwich was good. However, they didn't taste as different as one might think. The porchetta itself overrides the truffle/spice, and while that's not a bad thing, I think I'd like a little more of the sauce on each. Do with that what you will, but you should probably get at least one. Maybe not three.

Like I said...great taste just dry. Very reasonably priced.
