With that being said, ate half of the sandwich and felt so full. I saw many people order just one for themselves and not finishing it. Ordered the Italiano and it was perfect packed with fresh ingredients!!! Would return back when I return to Florence one day! Restaurant is super chill and casual with seating. There's even free restrooms to use which was a nice bonus!

Ive…read moretried a few of these sandwich shops around the area and I' Girone de' Ghiotti stands out on top. From the perfectly baked bread that is warm, a crunchy outer and isnt dense, to the fantastic combination of ingredients, I was enjoying every bit (and/or bite) of my sandwich. I ordered the La Rossa and wow my tastebuds were dancing. The prosciutto, truffle cream, brie and arugula made for such a delicious sandwich. Ugh, I cant wait to try more. I ended up finding a seat at the narrow and small bar area along the cramped space where you order/pay for your order. There is more seating upstairs but I didnt get to see it. I didnt mind that small area to eat since eating a sandwich isnt very space-consuming.

Really cool little spot with excellent food, drinks and decent beer selection. They had a nice…read moreItalian craft IPA on draft which made me happy. There is seating inside for maybe a dozen people but we chose to sit at one of the 3 small tables outside to enjoy the nice weather. Draft beer was $6 euro and the mixed drinks varied from $8-12 euro. We met Alycia who is one of the owners. She was very pleasant and friendly. We stopped for a drink and stayed for 3 hours. We also stopped for a 2nd happy hour on our last day in Florence. Worth checking out if you happen to be in town and want a quieter spot. We loved it.

The owner and staff were fantastic, very knowledgeable and provided great recommendations. The wine bar itself is a small quaint little place. Probably seats about 12 to 15 people total and has plenty of windows so you can see passersby and people watch. The cheeseboard? Get the cheeseboard. They do a fantastic job of pairing everything together to really bring so many flavors to your tastebuds. Their house wine is phenomenal and they take great pride in finding the grapes/different varietals to make it come to life. They have a both a red and a white house wine option. The second time we went - and yes, we went more than once in the four days we were there - we enjoyed one of the sandwiches and it was absolutely amazing. The bread, I can't even explain, the bread it's so flavorful and so good and so light. That paired with the delicious meats and cheeses were 100% worth it. I definitely recommend this location to anybody who is visiting Florence regularly or for their first time.

There are so many different options for sandwiches, with a variety of meats, cheeses, and spreads, and the first time that I went, I was definitely struggling to choose a sandwich, but the employees were so helpful in explaining their menu to me. There is also a student discount option, which allows you to get a sandwich and a drink at a discounted price, but a disclaimer is that not all sandwiches qualify for that discount. The restaurant also doesn't have any seating (at least when I went), so be prepared to take your sandwich to-go!

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.

I am an Asian female. ***updated 2025 post- I showed the owner and pointed at my boyfriend who was in line multiple times that we were purchasing food. *** updated 2023 post - Apparently my post was blocked because the owner of the store tried to cover my true experience. Racist owner randomly took my table and chair while I was eating on it to give to a Caucasian European couple. l'm an Asian female by the way. I showed him that my boyfriend was waiting in line to purchase food and constantly assured him we were using them and that we were buying food. He still took my table and chair and said I'll give you another one- to which it down graded to eating off 3 short chairs. I told the European couple that it wasn't fair that the server took our table to give to them and they just smiled and dismissed me. Racism at its finest. Their sandwich is not good. Actually the sandwich shop across the street I' Grone De Ghiotti is way better with service and sandwich taste. Sadly I don't think this post will change the attitude of the owner.

You walk into this tiny little sandwich shop and you better be ready to order immediately. First came the bread selection, then the meat, then the cheese. Pointing at things seemed to work best for me. I managed to say "Italian bread" while pointing to the top shelf, and when I pointed at the meat I asked, "That's pork, okay?" Deep breath... good start. Then they asked me about cheese. Hold on now, I'm still mentally processing my bread choices -- I'm not prepared for this speed-ordering competition. I finally said, "Whatever your best seller is," and they slapped on some kind of white cheese that I still cannot identify. Last step: toppings. The lady behind the counter pointed at something green and said, "This goes well with pork." I said, "Hit it." Finally, ordering complete. I grabbed my drink, paid the old man at the door who was running the whole operation with grace and happiness, and found the only outside seat available. Good timing too, because halfway through my panini the line was 10+ deep. That first bite was fantastic. The crunch and crumble of the bread somehow lasted all the way to the final bite. I added tomatoes, and the green stuff had this sweet flavor with a hint of dill. Whatever it was... it worked. This panini absolutely lived up to the Yelp hype. And to the old man running the place -- you do good work. Don't overwork yourself.

They were fast - much faster than stateside barristas - and the made the coffee in a graceful unhurried way. Which is good because they get busy. The place has been family-owned for 40 years. The son is now the barrista. The decor is charming - lots of magnums and jeroboams, cabinets full of dusty wine bottles, full of light. I miss it already! I had a carpaccio plate with freshly cut tomato one morning. Marinated tongue and eggplant another. Most of the family had delicious paninis - my son had freshly cut fruit every day. Lots of regulars.
