We came here as a backup since our first sandwich shopped had over an hour wait! Honestly, it should have been our first choice. I LOVE that you can try their meats and cheeses before deciding on your sandwich. Yes, this makes it a little more of a wait, but it's worth it! You listen and taste; then order your custom made sandwich and toppings. It's all so fresh, reasonable prices, and has an INCREDIBLE view. read more

Panini Toscano is located directly across from the Duomo so it's not hard to find at all! The line was decently long when we went but it moves quickly and in groups of 9-10 inside to do the tasting of meats and cheeses together then you move along the counter to choose what bread and fillings you want. It's unique and definitely a great experience! The main 2 staff you speak with can speak English so it's really easy and tourist friendly. They have a wide variety of bread options: olive focaccia, nut focaccia, ciabatta, multigrain, and schiacciata (common Tuscan flat bread). And when we went they had 3 meat options and 4 cheese. I went with the aged pecorino and prosciutto while Mo went with pecorino fresco (fresh pecorino) and Salame. The fresh pecorino was amazing and I wish I had gotten it too haha but lol I'm stubborn and wanted to get a little variety between the two of us. Anyways after you move down the cramped space along the line your panini will get passed along to the fillings station and you can choose 3 fillings I went with the "spread" (which seems to be a type of tapenade?), arugula, and peppers. Mo went with peppers, eggplant, and arugula. Once that's done the whole thing gets put into the toasters oven and you pay for your panini and any drinks you grabbed from the back refrigerator. The whole process was actually really easy and nice but most of Florence has been this way so I'm not too surprised. I would 100% recommend this for any travellers who are looking for a unique food experience and like cured meats and cheese for only €6! read more

Found this amazing little shop in my Yelp app when nothing seemed to piqued our interest enough to walk in and have lunch. If you want the very BEST panini that you'll ever have in your life, get your butt in here. I've seen other reviews mentioning how busy it gets so I'm sorry if you don't ultimately have the same experience but when we came in January, it was slow and the staff was uber friendly and helpful. They gave us an awesome demo and sampling of all the different kinds of cheese, local Italian meats and different options for bread that were available to build your own unique panini. On our visit, they introduced 4 different kinds of pecorino cheese (3 locally from Florence and 1 from Pisa) which varied between mild to very sharp and then continued to showcase all the local Italian meats the same way for our meat eater. As a topper, they have an excellent selection of high-quality wines local from Tuscany. It was the perfect rest stop before heading back to Rome! read more

I was only in Florence for half a day and this was one of my fave meals, perf for me before my overnight train to Budapest ! this the definition of simple but so flavorful.. Anthony Bourdain hole in the wall type joint rip firstly the guys behind the counter are amazing lol, super fast paced and efficient, asked me if it was my first time, proceeded to cut on the spot and feed me the three types of cheese and salamis I could choose from, which was SO helpful for an indecisive tourist like me. old Italian dude owner was also so sweet, saw him trying to find/arrange seating for all the customers coming in who wanted to sit outside but no spots left, pulling chairs out from the back of store had a lemon soda w, reminded that again everyth is better in europe, beats every single soda ive ever had in the states bc it was so simple and not artificial, just fizzy lemon w a lil sugar yum, perf w the sando came near closing so wasn't that busy no line, found a spot outside read more

Pretty good panini. The server takes you through the options and lets you taste the ingredients. I choose local Tuscan meats and cheese. Unlike other Italian sandwiches, this bread was soft and not overly robust. The flavors were fresh and well balanced. This was one of the better things I ate in Florence. read more

Yum yum Panini time. Fresh ingredients and explanation by the owner as you wait in line. Where else do they take the time to explain the meats and cheeses you get to choose from? Nowhere that's where. Choose from seven types of bread, four types of cheeses; two fresh cheeses and two aged (all Italian; a few from Florence) then pick one of three meats (don't mix as you need to appreciate each ingredient) and then three vegetables. My wife and I split two paninis and both were amazing. I liked the fresh cheese I chose more thab her aged but both were crunchy, meaty and a perfect balance of bread, meat, cheese and veggies. Some space inside to eat but much more fun to take and eat while admiring the many sites of Florence. read more

Such an amazing experience overall! My group of 10 walked in and the person making our sandwiches helped us taste every option of meat and cheese so we can make an informed decision while ordering. I highly recommend the walnut bread! You also get to choose 3 other toppings - I just wish we were allowed a bit more since the sandwich was a teensy bit dry. Otherwise great for a toasted sandwich as well as for the location right next to Duomo. read more

I regret buying from this shop and would've returned the sandwich for money back if I could. I watched as the guy stopped cleaning his station with cleaner and dirty paper towels to make my sandwich with the same dirt gloves. I should've asked him to change the gloves but I assumed it was common sense to do so already. This really icked me out and I wanted to leave. The worker put practically no toppings in my sandwich. There were so many vegetables to load up from and he gave me a small dollop for my toppings. I am a vegetarian so I basically received dry bread and weird tasting cheese. The sandwich was dry and I had to ass my own hummus at home to make it bearable. I was so hungry that I ate the sandwich and tried to forget that it was dirty. $8.75 for this and not worth it at all. Much better sandwich places that are cheaper. There's no menu with prices so I was shocked at the $8.75 charge. read more

This Panini shop is incredible. We came here after a friend recommended it to us and wow, he was right! The staff was very friendly and the panini was so fresh. You get to try all the meat and cheese before and you build your sandwich, which makes for a super fun experience. Don't pass this place up if you're in Florence. read more

Great sandwich. Super friendly staff. Perfect location next to the Duomo. So when I went, they had three deli meats and 4 cheeses, a few different types of bread depending on what time of day you arrive I.e. availability. Each different levels of aging that the owner has you sample while he explains. Then there are multiple spreads, etc that can be applied. As I constructed my masterpiece sandwhich, the owner encouraged me to add all the acutramonte additions I desired (flat price sando), as if the clock was winding down and I had only seconds to shoot the winning basket and the crowd cheered me on... 3-2-1, ITS GOOD, THE CROWD GOES WILD!! Come here and enjoy this delicious, well priced sandwhich experience. read more

Cute little shop with delicious sandwiches and the friendliest service! As soon as you walk in, they do a tasting of their cheeses and meats. Then, you pick your bread and toppings and everything is toasted. My sister, who does not eat meat, was offered two cheeses. It was nice of them to accommodate her! A glass of wine is also only 3.5 euros! We sat outside and the location is wonderful because the shop is in the main square with the Duomo and other structures. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious paninis, helpful staff, and right beside the Duomo. What more do you need? As mentioned in the other reviews, you are given a free meat/cheese tasting if they see it is your first time at the restaurant. This is ultimately an amazing experience, and you get to taste four types of cheese and three types of meat. You are allowed to have one meat, one cheese, and three toppings, which are arugula, tomato, sun dried tomato, eggplant, roasted pepper, pepper, zucchini, and a spicy type sauce. There are also multiple types of bread, which I'm not sure of the names of all, but includes multigrain, focaccia with walnuts, another type of herb focaccia, a flatbread? and a normal-looking loaf. I had the walnut focaccia with tomatoes, eggplant, and arugula, with the 2nd cheese and the 1st meat (they number the meat/cheese by your tasting order). The walnut focaccia was so crisp and delicious; the walnuts went amazingly with the flavour of the bread. The panini is huge but I did devour it. Best of all? It only costs 6€, which is an extremely reasonable price considering the quality of service, location, and the food. read more

We had this place bookmarked, so we stopped by for brunch one morning and were treated to samples of the meat and cheese prior to building our own sandwich. It was SO good, and the guy making our sandwich apparently has a brother in OC! This was definitely my favorite panini in Italy, by far. My panini was SO fresh and delicious, I seriously wanted another one right after I finished it! We actually came back the next morning, hoping to get some paninis for the train ride down to Sorrento, but they weren't open yet. :( This is a MUST if you are in Florence. read more

This panini shop is very unique. I love the fact that they allow you to try all their meats and cheeses if it is your first time visiting. Fresh bread and ingredients with a nice selection of wine. Try the rose wine! It was only €6 for the panini and €5 for a glass of wine. The best panini I've had in Florence and all of Italy! It's also right next to the famous Duomo which is a lovely view. The best time to go would be in the morning after they first option so you can choose from their large selection of freshly baked breads. read more

This is the panini talked about around the world. I know, because I've been talking about it ever since I left. They have you sample every meat and every cheese, then select which you'd like and on which bread for €6. So, so worth the wait. Additionally, only 5-6 people are let in at a time for the tasting as it's a narrow store, and when it was our turn we had both native Italian and English only so the owner gave the information bilingually about every piece sampled by the respective individuals in their own language. read more

From the doorway greeted, to the owner welcoming you, the sampling, delicious panini, inexpensive price, and gorgeous view of the Duomo: you must go here! Waited in line, and, it was worth the wait! I was skeptical, since it's in a tourist trap area - thank you, Yelpers! for not leading me astray!!! I got the glass of red wine, that the cheese in my panini was made from, as well as the local Firenze meat, and olive bread. The owner commented, "Good combination!" Which has to be a good thing, right? Food explosion!!! So delicious!!! Would wait in that line again. read more

Worth the hype. I was a little sceptical about the experience considering this narrow sandwich shop is located next to one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world. These folks however have found a clever way to beat the competition and create a streamlined process. All customers have a chance to taste several local meat and cheese options. The options include Tuscan prosciutto and local fennel seed salami both of which are solid choices. The cheese options range from very fresh, ripe cheese to aged pecorino. Nothing too fancy but all delicious. The focaccia is quite fresh and there are several variety to choose from before the difficult decision of the other toppings which include sun-dried tomatoes, eggplants and spicy peppers. All of this is done with a gentle smile from the Persian / Italian staff who take great care and pride in what they do. Overall probably the best bet if you are looking for a quick but delicious bite around the Duomo. read more
