I can't believe I forgot to give a review to this restaurant. My husband sent my daughter and…read moremother and I together to Florence November 2024 for a three generation trip of a lifetime. The first night we dined at this restaurant in the little tiny room in the back. It was magical. Every dish exceeded the last. We had a pear & pecorino salad. That was a work of art and we hated messing it up. We passed around our appetizers and main courses and we all loved everyone else's food. The highlight of this night and the night that we came back to eat again was the owner, Pasquale. He treated my mother like royalty. When we were coming up to the door, he jumped up from his counter and came out and took her arm and escorted her to the table both times. And then he escorted her out as well. One night when I went past the restaurant by myself, he inquired where my mom was. He made her feel like a queen and she is still talking about it to this day. We can't thank him enough for the beautiful meals and the five star treatment.

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.

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.

The line is long right around lunch time but it moves fairly fast. They have a variety of choices so you might need time to decide.

The roasted ham is tasty and the truffle cream adds a lovely flavor and ties the dish together. Finocchiona E Crema De Formaggio- Can't sing enough of their bread's praises! The tuscan salami is spicy and flavorful. The fennel is slightly sweet and the cream cheese is smooth and light. Great experience overall!

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.
