    Wow! These sandwiches were impressive. We got there early to beat the line and a huge line formed behind us. Ordering was easy since the menu was outside and they had a worker handing out paper menus for those behind us. We got a table upstairs and enjoyed our yummy sandwiches! Highly recommend for a great sandwich stop!

    First, don't be intimidated by the line - it is well-facilitated, moves fast, and just know all of it is WORTH IT. I didn't even think I was a fan of Italian sandwiches like this, no matter how viral I've seen these shops get. I assumed huge sandwiches on thick bread were great for photos but just a few bites. So I guess I can call this place life-changing because it completely turned these initial thoughts upside down. I finished my entire sandwich and continue to think about it even after leaving Florence. I opted for one on the specials list: "La Signoria" which included -Mortadella al tartufu (truffle mortadella) -Pecorino al tartufu (truffled pecorino cheese) -Rucola (rocket salad/arugula) My god...it all somehow went together perfectly. To me schicciata really is better than focaccia. Please try when and if you are in Florence. You'll most certainly not be disappointed. P.S. I LOVE their staff- regardless of their constant crowds and the slight chaos on the street due to the queue/line, everyone I encountered was so kind and seemed genuinely happy to welcome all of us visiting from across the world.

    My social media algorithm was really blessing me with the best spots in Florence. Florence is well known for its sandwiches and I'm so glad L' Girone de' Ghiotti was recommended. MUST visit when you're in Florence. Easily one of the best things I ate on my trip! It's a small, very busy shop with no seating, but don't let the line scare you away. It's 100% worth the wait. Honestly, with so many sandwich options, the line just gave me time to study the menu. You can build your own sandwich or choose from one of their masterpieces. The bread is unreal. La Rossa: prosciutto, brie, truffle cream, and arugula... what more is there to say? DELICIOUS. Very rich. My friend got the Suicida, but subbed the porchetta for salame... that was the moveeeee. That spicy sauce was next level. Grab your sandwich and go explore or sit by a statue & people-watch :)

    This is the probably the best sandwich of my life! I had this spot bookmarked as literally one of the only spots I needed to try in Florence, and it did not disappoint. The line seemed long but honestly moved so fast - we were in within 15 minutes. I built my own sandwich with salami, truffle spread, arugula, and sundried tomatoes. This was all stuffed inside their perfectly crispy, fluffy, yet light bread. It was SO FREAKING GOOD. The seasoning and slight saltiness of the bread had such good flavor, and the salami was so much better than many of the other salamis I tried - great flavor and not too fatty. I liked how the arugula added some freshness, and their truffle spread is DELICIOUS. You must get that if anything! They have seating both downstairs and upstairs, and we found a table upstairs to devour our sandwiches. We all agreed this was one of the best spots we went to all throughout Italy - so I'd highly recommend!

    We saw the line coming back from the Duomo one day and looked up this popular sandwich shop. We arrived at noon on a Tuesday and it took about 30 minutes to get to the front. We ordered the La Signoria special (mortadella) which is served in half and more than enough for two for lunch, plus aperol spritz at $5 each so total $23 usd. The foccacia was crispy yet soft, mortadella cut thin, with truffle pecorino cheese and arugula. We ended up eating it standing up a few blocks away but it didn't take long to devour. The hype is worth it for this Tuscan sandwich!

    The best sandwiches you'll ever have

    Waited over an hour in the pouring rain and would do all over again in a heartbeat. The sandwiches from I' Girone de' Ghiotti were just that good. At an incredible price, everything just has the perfect balance. From the freshness of the ingredients, to the crunch of the bread, to the fast paced environment with a line down the street. These are the types of atmospheres you fly across the Atlantic to experience when visiting Italy. Don't care how long the wait is, because it is worth it. Buckle up with your patience and have the best sandwich of your life.

    Long line but it was very orderly and moved quickly.
    Jeff G.

    Tucked into an alley with a couple popular sandwich shops and pizza joints. Long line but moved quickly and orderly. Menus were handed out to everyone in line which was great. They have about 15 sandwich options, but you can create your own or mix and match the existing anyway you'd like. They also had another dozen special sandwiches. I went with La Batigola which was wild boar prosciutto, pecorino and and sweet onion spread, I also added sun-dried tomatoes. You can get small or large, of course I went with the larger size. They were served on a fresh baked focaccia bread. It came perfectly wrapped for eating while walking. Excellent spot worth checking out. I'll be stopping there again later this week.

    Absolutely lives up to the hype. It was the only viral place we went to that had a long line. We got there right when it opened at 11:30 and probably waited about 25-30 mins. The La Cignala was so good. The boar salami was delicious and the focaccia bread was thin and crispy. I struggle to eat bread and this was really light. I'd probably add pesto next time just to give it a little more moisture. My friend had the La Batigol and loved it. The sweet onion cream was so good. Definitely worth the wait and lived up to the hype!

    I love this place. I've been to Florence several times. I've had the "other" guys several times, way too much bread. This is my go to. Bread is nice and crispy, almost feels like it's not there. The filling is fantastic. It's my favorite Sammie here in Florence. And they are cool with you adding things to the Sammie. Can't beat that service in Italy.

    Girone was one place I really wanted to try in Florence. I had to wait in a really long line but it went by fairly quickly. I got the suicida sandwich and it was so good. They have so many sandwiches to choose from.

    Beer made by the house (in a different location). It was good!

    We skipped breakfast to go here one day. We got there around 11. There was already a small line. for those that don't eat pork, you can sub any meat for turkey. My wife had the #7 Golosa with turkey and I had a bite- it was insane! I had the #9 (see photo). The place is small and there are stairs that go up to a small seating area (only a couple tables seated 4). The sandwich was as good as it looks in the photos if not better. Super light but very satisfying. A must visit.. all the meats are hand carved on the spot. I would go back many times over. Buon appetito!

    Absolutely the best sandwiches in Florence. This sandwich shop was a true highlight of my trip. My daughter and I came twice and I tried La Rosa and La Cimatori--both were outstanding. We were lucky not to encounter the usual long wait either time, and on our second visit, just before closing, Claud surprised us with a dessert, which was such a thoughtful and unforgettable gesture. Truly exceptional food and hospitality. Highly, highly recommended!

    Discordia with arugula

    This was the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. I ordered the "discordia" with arugula and OH. MY. GAWD. I need more. I will get more.

    Were able to snag an outside table walk in but certainly they fill up quickly and a reservation…read moreprobably would have been better. We grabbed a bottle of wine on a warmer June afternoon after a day of exploring, which was definitely refreshing. The location isn't much as it overlooks a pretty bare piazza. The service can be a bit on the slower side, especially when I walked in and tried to get the bill. But still if you're able to get a table it's a pretty quaint wine bar. It seemed like they had some flights/tastings, which would have been an interesting option.

    Title: Great wine selection, but disappointing service from our server Noemi…read moreWe visited Enoteca Pitti Gola because it was recommended by Wine Spectator, and the wine list truly is impressive -- an extensive and well-curated selection of Italian wines. We were two couples and went for some wine and light snacks. When we arrived, there wasn't a table available for four, so we had to sit separately. Once a table behind our friends became available, we asked to move so we could sit closer together, but our server, Noemi, wasn't very accommodating and seemed somewhat annoyed by the request. We mentioned that we wanted to share a few dishes and asked about portion sizes, but Noemi didn't explain things clearly and wasn't very friendly. She insisted the plates weren't meant for sharing, which turned out not to be true. The wine itself was excellent, and the snacks were good -- but the overall service from Noemi felt unfriendly and not very customer-oriented. I'd still recommend the place if you're interested in trying great Italian wines, but be aware that the service experience may not match the quality of the wine.

He recommended a nice Brunello Di Montalcino paired with local Tuscan cheeses, salami, prosciutto, dried tomatoes, bread and of course olive oil. He has many wines by the glass at super affordable prices and of course a deep selection of bottles. Can't go wrong here!

    Looking for a really cute little place near San Lorenzo to snack on a yummy panino and a {really…read moregood} glass of wine? Then Casa del Vino is the place you want to be. I can't believe I have lived here this long and have never been...until now! Finding it can be a bit of a challenge due to it's umbiguous location amongsnt the market traffic in San Lorenzo but once you find it - you pretty much feel like you've discovered a pot of gold. Well at leats, if you are a hungry wino like me. Very small inside, not much space to sit but pick what kind of bread you want and get that panino made. I got one filled with sun-dried tomatoes, burrata (heaven) and prosciutto. Their wine selection is very decent and I got a lambrusco secco which was heaven in a world where normally Lambrusco sucks. Total price for my panino and wine? 7 euros. Which for Italian 'fast slow food' is a bit high but it was so good, I didn't even think about it. So when you are in the center searching for THAT tiny place with great wine and good crostini & panini - head over to Casa del Vino and trust me.. try that burrata..
