It can be a little overwhelming as there's a lot happening in their small little kitchen area and most of it is in very lively/spirited Italian. But the line moves quick enough (I actually thought the time the sandwiches takes to prepare was part of the charm as you can tell he's really taking care of each sandwich). The sandwich itself isn't really a cut of meat I would choose to order normally but for what it was it was actually quite tasty-fatty and juicy with a well buttered bun. I probably wouldn't eat this type of sandwich again but for the try this was a really solid option. Small point, I very much appreciated how abundant their napkin station is with such a potentially messy meal.

We were on our way back to our hotel when we chanced upon Li Per Li and were amazed at the hidden gem we found just 3 minutes away from the Academia. The restaurant was nearly full when we showed up, but we were promptly sat and served by one of the owners Tommasso. We were so impressed with the tagliatelle ragu and fried rabbit that we had on the first day we stopped back here on the second day. One the second day we had a seafood pasta with clams, mussels, and the most tender squid I've had in my life. What I liked best about this place, besides the food and very good service, was that it was almost entirely filled with locals. If you're in the area, this place is worth a detour.

The sandwiches are a pretty generous size and are more than enough for a full sized man who's worked up an appetite walking all over Florence all morning. The service was also fantastic. They were very friendly. They entertained my terrible efforts to speak Italian and gently followed up in English without being condescending about it. I was there with my obviously pregnant wife and they made all sorts of generous offers to make sure she was comfortable. They brought some genuine warmth to the sandwich ordering experience. The shop is small and the space is tight, but the vibe is also pretty great. It has warm woods in its interior... it doesn't feel industrial... and there are subtle, natural distinctly Florentine elements, but it's also legible as a version of the friendly "mom and pop" sandwich shop as you'd find in many cities in many countries and in my and many others' home towns. An all around great sandwich shop.

We had walked passed this establishment, and I noticed it said "pulled pork" and that peaked my interest. I fancied the idea of pulled pork because how I associate it with barbeque pulled pork back home. The service here was great. The owners seemed to have the traditional Italian personality and family treatment towards their customers. I was sold immediately. It's an overall nice sandwich shop with some seating in the entrance area and more upstairs. I liked how intimate it felt. Now the foccacia sandwich was phenomenal. The pulled pork was well-seasoned with onions and peppers and the pesto sauce was an excellent touch. I wished I could find something like this back in the states. A healthier sauce alternative to mayonnaise.
