Just pick the line that is the shortest as they are the same restaurant. The lines do move fast despite the lines. The sandwiches are delicious and are huge (may be 2 meals for some people). FYI: If you are at the Santa Maria Novella Train Station, you can also find the restaurants on the main floor and the basement floor.

This is definitely a famous spot for sandwiches in Florence. Take this review with a grain of salt,…read moresince I didn't order the most famous sandwich, but one I thought I would like the best flavor wise. The bread was flavorful but very hard. After my second bite my jaw hurt from chewing. I really enjoyed the sauces the put on my sandwich. I would say from the three sandwiches my friends and I ordered, the spreads/sauces on all of them were our favorite part. The line moves fast, so if you do decide to go don't be intimidated by it. Overall, the sandwich was a 6/10.

It is a supreme way to avoid all of the suspect English only menu's at the door with strapping young Italians trying to draw you in to eat their generally inauthentic Italian fair. You will see locals in the know here. Our food tour guide directed us to go here and she was correct. The service was very efficient but the young lady serving us was deep into her Italian holiday serving tenure and not exuberant by any stretch of the imagination. Still she didn't make a single mistake. Still a little personality would have earned this place five stars! I'll have to give it four for that only.

They make the pizza fresh all day, and one slice makes a really nice lunch. They have all different types and we were partial to the sausage and the ones with arugula on top. We grabbed our slices and headed to the nearby square in front of the Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena to sit and enjoy them in the shade. It's a great alternative to sitting down to a long multi-course lunch if you just want a quick bite.

He recommended a meat and cheese board with some vino that was absolutely divine. I don't think I've ever had such a delicious and fresh off the bone charcuterie as I did today. He sat with us while we snacked sharing with us his family history and 3 generations of business, since 1924. Such a kind soul. I hope his business lasts lifetimes more. It truly is such a special place. Can't wait to get back. Highly recommend. No crowds either.

The family/staff that owns the market and restaurant was so sweet. We stopped by for a lunch and ordered anything they recommended. They were extremely attentive and wanted us to have the best experience. We had the Ribollita and their charcuterie board for 2. It was such a treat! I've never had Ribollita before then, but it tasted so fresh and homey. It was as if a family had invited you to their home for a meal. The eating space is a tiny, so if you find an open table definitely try to grab a bite there! The walls are also littered with post it notes from customers who have had the pleasure of eating there. Such a great eatery!

Our Airbnb was directly across from it, and we could see the lines at all hours with mostly locals, which was a good sign. I got the prosciutto and truffle sandwich, and it was dreamy truffle bliss. It is amazing that something as simple as bread, prosciutto, and truffle spread can taste so good. My husband got a salami and pecorino sandwich which was more his speed. He really enjoyed his sandwich and finished it in no time. Prices are cheap enough that we could've split another sandwich if we had had the room, but there was no need. The only downside to this place is the lack of seating. The seating in front of the sandwich shop actually belongs to the bar next door so we weren't able to sit there. We were able to find a public bench on the street to enjoy our sandwiches, but be prepared if you're carrying a lot of luggage around with you like we were.

Pino's was one of the spots trending on social media, so it understandably had a line out the door. That said, the queue went by pretty fast, and we were eating in no time. Pino's Sandwiches had quite the personality. It was decked out in banners and pennants of American universities. If you're from the USA, it almost felt like you were right at home. There seemed to be ample indoor seating. My husband was able to snag a table for us while I waited for our order. There was also seating outside. This was one of the few sandwich spots that offered a deli meat besides pork, which I was so thankful for. I got The Savage, which consisted of roast beef, burrata, smoked mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, and pesto. I will go as far as saying that this was my favorite schiaciatta of all the ones I had on our Florence trip. The roast beef was really tender, and I absolutely loved the sun dried tomatoes. They weren't shriveled up like the ones we have back at home. The tomatoes were huge and burst full of flavor.

True to its name, Pino's Sandwiches offers an impressive variety of sandwiches. I ordered the Magic ZBD, and it was outstanding - fresh ingredients, very generous portions, and hands down some of the best pesto I've had in a very long time. When my friends and I arrived, the line was out the door, which is usually a good sign, and it definitely was. Dedpite the crowd, we were seated and served within about twenty minutes. The service was excellent, and it was great to see the owner behind the counter making sandwiches alongside the staff. One fun touch for visiors from the U.S., the restaurant is decorated with several American college pennants, which adds a warm, familiar vibe in the middle of Italy. Fantastic food, fast service, and a welcoming atmosphere, Pino's Sandwiches is well worth the visit while in Florence.
