What can I say, the best m=panini I have ever had. Right next to the Duomo, so the people watching on a busy Sunday made the experience all the better. Ice cold Moretti beer was excellent as well. A bit pricy for a sandwich, but well worth it. We will be back!! read more

The sandwiches were great. They let you sample the meats before selecting the ones you want. Then, you select the bread and cheese. Then you select the toppings for the sandwich. The sandwiches are huge but very delicious. Service is quick. There is limited seating but take away is a good option too. I'll be back. read more

Panini Toscani - Sandwiches Near Me - Florence, FI

The store is tiny and over crowded. An elderly gentleman stands at the entrance and tells you what to do. There are lines for every step of the way. The paninis are delicious and fresh. I loved the crispy bread. The staff is generally nice except the gentleman at the door who is not exactly the epitome of good nature and customer service. He took our debit card and selected convert to dollars instead of pay in Euros which is the more expensive choice. Then he threw away the receipt without asking. When my mother asked for the receipt ( to see how much we paid), he took the receipt out of the trash can and handed it to me. Although we liked the panini, we wont return while we are here because firstly, they are a bit pricey and secondly, we do not appreciate being treated like this. read more

Panini Toscani - Long line - Sandwiches Near Me - Florence, FI

Visited Panini Toscani recently with the family. The sandwiches were large, so I didn't request one. Instead, my wife and daughter each requested a sandwich and we split them. The sandwiches were delicious. They offer different types of bread, but the Italian bread with the crispy crust and soft interior is the one I like the most. The ingredients are second to none. The meats, the bread, and the toppings/sauces were all epic. The sandwiches are simple, delicious, and filling. It's a common theme to request one of these sandwiches around lunch time and there are cafes everywhere serving them. So the challenge becomes selecting a cafe from the sea of options. I'm glad we selected Panini Toscani because the sandwiches were awesome. Not all cafes offer the crispy Italian bread - some only offer focaccia bread, which I'm not a huge fan of. I highly recommend Panini Toscani. read more

I loved this place! It was located a thirty second walk near my hotel close to the Duomo. It's a small spot with a huge reputation. The staff were all great. Most spoke English and Italian, some just Italian. The meats are sliced right in front of you. One of the employees let us sample the assortment of meats that were going into the panini. Never an issue here. Lots of tables outside overlooking the beautiful views and culture of the city. Can't wait to go back. read more

Food: My favorite panini! Been here multiple times and it never disappoints. They have a variety of breads and they are all amazing. They provide meat and cheese samples prior to you ordering, which is a big plus. You can definitely taste the quality of their meats and cheeses. You also have 3 options of sides to put in your panini, mainly veggies and/or spreads. Service: Kindest staff. Ambiance: They have mainly outside seating but they also have two tables inside. It's pretty small but it's in a great location! read more

Delicious sandwiches! After a quick search I found this delightful little sandwich shop right behind the Duomo. From the minute we walking into the small shop the gentleman asked if it was our first time- which I immediately said, "Yes!" He began giving us small samples of the meats and a piece of cheese. We then hand selected our bread of choose, meat, cheese and toppings. The sandwiches were toasted and then they called our names. We grabbed one of the tables, there are only 5 or so, but people are gracious to eat and offer their table. The owners greet you and help you find a table. Absolutely the most amazing sandwich we have ever had! read more

Better service, price, and sandwich, than that Antico place. Come here, get a sandwich, get a bottle of wine, sit outside, chill and enjoy the view of the Duomo. They start with educating you on the meats, cheeses, and then bread. Help you customize and build a sandwich. Sandwich is great, bread is fresh, soft and flavorful, and best of all... you don;t have to stand in line forever, and you actually have a nice place to sit, and enjoy the sandwich. read more

The place is very interesting. While the food was good, the options were interesting. Yes, there were lots of good options to choose, the shop is not very family-friendly in the sense of food options, though I do recommend coming here. The service was good, with only 3/4 employees, but they got the job done. Now, the shop is small, and the line starts at the back of the room and starts in the back room, and ends in the front. It is very tight/small in there, with not lots of space. I did though enjoy my food and experience, but it was not what I expected. read more

This place is unbelievably good. It is in a high traffic area, but with the wait. Hit it, and hit it hard!!

Delicious paninis! It's a small order at the counter place. The staff is very friendly and gives great recommendations. They have you try all of their meat and cheese options before you build your own panini. It was so fun trying all of their different meats and cheeses. Everything was so fresh, it was hard to choose. You choose your bread, meat, cheese, pesto, and any additional toppings. I added tomato and arugula. The paninis were big, we probably could have just split one. We took our order to go but there is an outdoor seating option on the street. We were there on a Saturday so it was pretty busy. It's a lively area! I definitely recommend stopping! read more

My wife and I explored Florence and stumbled across this gem. The city is known for their paninis. We had to get one! This place did not disappoint. We got the panini with prosciutto, aged pecorino (phenomenal), peppers and the amazing pesto. We shared one and still didn't finish it. When we ordered the staff was very helpful and offered recommendations and gave samples to ensure you would leave satisfied. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Everything about this place was amazing. The sandwiches were packed with rich flavors and would even be large enough to share with somebody else. The workers were very kind and hospitable. It is also in the "heart" of the city and a great place to stop at if you're doing the main touristy attractions. Definitely consider going here when you are visiting Florence, it's incredible. read more

First time in Florence for me and it started out rough. Air bnb was really not what we expected so we were at a low. This was the first stop the morning after checking in and it was not only an amazing sandwich but completely brightened my whole start to Florence. Ambiance is great with great customer service and it's in the perfect location. The bread was the best I've ever had and I basically inhaled an entire sandwich before climbing the bell tower. Highly recommend. Would come earlier (we came at about 11) because we could already tell it was starting to fill up by the time we left read more

What a great little place to grab a panini. The sandwich was so very good and the service was amazing. There was no where left to sit so the older gentleman (think it was the owner), grabbed a chair and two crates for us. One crate for my husband to sit on as one to use as a table. read more

This is my fourth meal at a restaurant in Florence rated over 4.7 on Yelp, and the first one to smash it out of the park. Panini made fresh to order with 7 bread options, 4 cheeses, 3 meats, and several veggies, then toasted. I had the sbriciolona and pecorino stagionato on schiaccata with marinated eggplant, grilled peppers, and arugula. Mind blown. Un panino molto bellissimo! The owner went out of his way to be sure we had a place to sit on a busy afternoon. I would come back again and again. read more

We stumbled across Pqnini Toscani our first day in Florence. It looked promising so we decided to grab a panini. Upon walking in, we were immediately greeted and the young guy working asked our language preference and then asked if we had ever been in before. Since we had not been in, he offered up a tasting of all the meats that they offered as well as all of the cheeses. He gave us suggestions on what worked best with each other and what bread and veggies he suggested pairing together. We ordered, paid and an older gentlemen had clean a table and was waiting for us to take a seat. Our sandwiches were quickly brought out and they were amazing. So fresh and full of flavor. We actually visited again during our stay. The location was super convenient and the food was amazing. The staff were all extremely helpful and polite as we took our time deciding on what we wanted to order. I'd recommend stopping by! read more

Panini Toscani - Ciabatta, salami, cheese, grilled pepper and grilled zucchini. Perfection. - Sandwiches Near Me - Florence, FI

First food I ate after getting to Florence. All I can say was I knew this was the city that was going to satisfy my food need. Very friendly staff.. They were very helpful and allowed me to taste the deli meat and cheese before I ordered. I noticed there are lot of pannini place around here.. But man I can say this place was one of the best sandwich I've ever had.. Ciabatta Toscana bread is what I chose.. You pick the bread, meat, cheese, then up to 3 different veggies at the end.. So simple but yet so yummy and flavorful sandwich.. To me bread is very important part of sandwich.. You can have the most expensive fanciest meat but if bread sucks rest of the food sucks.. Bread was so light, crispy outside and light chewy inside.. Prosciutto was very flavorful and yummy. All that sandwich and it's only 7 euro.. Can't beat the price and quality of the sandwich. Can't wait to come back and try other style. read more

Located right near the famous Duomo in Florence, Panini Toscani provided me with the best sandwich I have had during my time abroad. The service was great, the environment friendly and the price adequate. Upon arrival they allow you to try whatever meats, cheeses, toppings etc you are interested in ordering. All of these were delicious. The staff speaks English and Italian, and the sandwiches will be out in no more than 5-10 minutes. I would highly recommend visiting Panini Toscani if you ever find yourself in Florence. read more

I am always skeptical about restaurants right next to tourist sites. However, Panini Toscani is the exception. This small sandwich shop is literally located right next to the Duomo and serves phenomenal sandwiches. Basically, you build your own sandwich by choosing from a selection of breads, meats, cheeses, and vegetables. I chose to have a Prosciutto Sandwich. Fresh warm toasted ciabatta bread was filled with flavorful prosciutto, gooey cheese, juicy tomato, crisp arugula, flavorful marinated eggplant and tangy peppers. Since all the seats outside were occupied, we were provided wine crates to sit on to enjoy the view of the Duomo with our sandwiches and glasses of Chianti. It was a wonderful experience. read more

This is a grab and go place. Or get luck and get a spot on the two tables inside lol. You get to customize your own panini with whatever you'd like. They are so kind and let you sample the cheeses if you are unsure what you'd like. Especially since I was with my daughter. We did a prosciutto tomato basil arugula with soft cheese. It was SOOOO delicious. The built it right in front of us and toasted. Very quick would recommend read more

Starting off, they let you try all 3 meats to best meet your taste and cheese if you ask to try them. Good fresh toppings to add as well! Extra fast service getting it out to you! Right beside the Duomo! Only downside would be the very limited seating but you can squeeze in on a table if other patrons are inviting enough. Absolutely stop by if you enjoy a good panini! read more

Tiny little restaurant with seating outside directly by the Duomo. They have got the art of the panini figured out!

The service is friendly & attentive. Highly recommended! read more

We stopped here for lunch after touring the Duomo in January 2020, and were quite impressed. We didn't know what we wanted, but the proprietor has everyone we saw come inside the shop where he showed us the different meats and cheeses, even cutting off tasting samples to make sure everyone gets something they like! After one chooses what they want, the panini is assembled and grilled for serving. We took the grilled paninis outside (along with my beautiful glass of rose' ) and ate at a table on the sidewalk. We were joined by a couple of students from Korea, and had a nice conversation with them. It was a pleasant lunch. read more

Small nondescript panini shop amidst a sea of pasta restaurants and bistros in the Piazza del Duomo. As the name implies, they make paninis. We tried three salamis and cheese to go along with them before deciding. Fun fact - you can only choose one type of meat and cheese. You cannot ask for two or all three of the salamis in your panini. Regardless of what choice you make, it will be good.. You also get to choose the type of bread (multigrain, focaccia, ciabatta) and veggies (think arugula, sun dried tomatoes, eggplant, grilled peppers, etc.) to add to your panini. My panini was crunchy, had a good amount of spiciness, and the meat and cheese were a good combo. I forgot to mention that they toast the panini too! They have beer, wine and spritz (of course)! The meal was wonderful and gave the much needed energy to climb the 414 steps of the Campanile di Giotto. read more

There were lines everywhere at lunchtime. When we turned the corner we spotted Panini Toscani. The line was short and moved fast. We are a family of 5. My husband and I do not eat meat but we had a panini with aged pecorino tomatoes, pesto sauce, arugala and zucchini that was absolutely delicious. Our sons all had different paninis with salami or prosciutto. Everyone raved about their panini. Only after the fact did I realize this was one of the places I tagged for lunch on Yelp. Here's to another 5 star review! read more

Panini Toscani a small store beside the Duomo that serves up some really good sandwiches for a great price. The shop is small and quite popular, so it can be quite crowded and quite confusing as where to begin. But you start of at the very back, single file due to the space and they let you sample different types of meats and cheese before they start your panini order. There are also limited tables and chairs outside for seating. Every staff member was great and super helpful, except for the guy that was letting us sample the cheese and meats. He was one of the tallest staff, possible one of the owner. He cracked jokes and meant to be "funny", but it was towards only to a selected few that he chose to be friendly . During the sampling, they label their cheese from 1 to 4 and when a girl (in front of me) asked what type of cheese she was eating -he refused to answer then egged on another male customer to laugh at her when she took too long to decide. When it was my turn for sampling, he easily chatted up the older couple standing next to me, but pretty much ignored me for the rest of the duration when I asked a question. It was very odd and awkward to say the least and I suspect others might encounter and feel the same way with that particular person. Overall, they serve a great product in a very busy touristy location that is affordable and worth trying despite the bizarre service at the beginning. read more

We had gone by here several times and it was busy every time we went by. It's a very visual store front. They have a unique way of you being about to choose what you want to eat. You are in line are able to have a wine or limoncello spritzer. As you get closer go in and they offer you tastings of cheese and meats then you choose which bread, cheese, meat, and last you pick 3 other things to go on we picked the spicy spread, arugula and something else. I remember seeing everyone eating these sandwiches and them look so good, once we got ours we sat and enjoyed it very much!! I am a big sandwich love and this was above and beyond our expectations!! The owner I believe was running everything very smoothly!!! read more

Best. Paninis. In. Town. First off, they saw I was new and didn't even let me order without trying all the meats and cheeses first. THAT IS SERVICE. 3 meats, all delicious, and 4 cheeses, all aged differently and all amazing. 2 gentlemen assembled our paninis before passing it on to a woman for up to 3 toppings of your choosing. €14 for 2 paninis and a juice, with the best service I've seen in town. Don't let the location across from the Duomo deter you. It is high quality. read more
