Literally my favorite sandwich shop in Firenze. I heard amazing reviews about SandwiChic through TikTok, and I had to give it a try. 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!
Came here on our last day in Florence and we didn't realize how close it was to our hotel! We walk up to the window and the gentleman was super helpful with giving us suggestions of what to order. We both ordered sandwiches with schiacciata bread and it was delicious! We waited across the street and then out names were called to pick up our order. There wasn't any seating available which was fine and we ended u p just eating across the street where we were waiting. I still think about this sandwich and how good it was!
Easily the best panini I had when visiting Italy. It was simple yet executed so well. I loved their fluffy bread and enjoyed their truffle spread I got on my panini. Most people get their paninis to-go since there's very limited seating. They're well wrapped to be eating on the go! For such a small space, it's well decorated. Depending on what season and time you go, be prepared to wait. I went in the middle of the summer (aka tourist season) around 3pm (15:00) and still had to wait an around 30-45 minutes. It was understandable since there were only two people working and not sure if I'd stand in line for this long again. You have to try them at least once!
Mija did a day trip to Florence during her study abroad program, and raved about this sandwich shop. So when we stayed in Florence on the latter part of the trip, we had to hit this place. I had two sandwiches: One salumi & one prosciutto. The first thing I noticed was the bread was very special. I did some research and found that schiacciata bread is made w/o salt. Back in the day, Tuscany did not want to pay the high taxes on salt, so they made their bread w/o salt. Apparently the yeast proofs more effectively, leading to a fluffy interior & chewy exterior. All I know is that combined w/ high quality meat, it makes awesome sandwiches. I was stuffed on €10 of meat only sandwiches, vs here in the States you would have a lot of produce on your $10 sandwich. Regarding the ambiance, its take away only. This is Italian grab and go food. The sandwiches are numbered so you can order quickly, and they are made fast. We found a shady square nearby, and enjoyed our sandwiches while people watching. When you are in Florence, do yourself a favor and stop by Sandwichic. You will really see why Tuscans rave about their schiacciata bread.
Wish I could have their sandwiches everyday. This is a gem of a place!! Best sandwich I had all trip. Found myself here after exploring a bit outside of Mercato Centrale. There were only a few people in line and the wait went quickly. Their bread is so perfect. Crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. The menu is all Italian but you can more or less guess what is inside. The employees are nice and can help decide what to order. Limited seating inside so it's mostly for take out.
I had the best sandwich I've ever had in my life here. This cute little hole in the wall would make a fortune in the states! I enjoyed every bite and would be willing to go back every day just to try something new. The schiacciata bread is seriously the best bread I've ever put in my mouth and they serve it warm and fresh, so it is crisp on the top and soft inside. I really, really, really wish I knew "pomodoro" meant "tomatoes" so I could order something with their sun dried tomatoes, but I did not know that beforehand. My husband (who doesn't even like tomatoes or sun dried tomatoes back home in the states) even liked the sun dried tomatoes! The meats are amazing! Every single one. You cannot go wrong with choosing whatever! My sandwich had prosciutto crisp with mozzarella and some kind of white spread! Yum! It was a small space and there was a line out the door to get in, so try to get there early! There isn't a lot of space for dining, but there are a few chairs on the street in front, if you want to grab those. The guy at the register was very nice and pretty fluent in English. This is definitely a nice spot for the college kids!
One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Staff is so nice and friendly. They offer student meals and discounts. For my first time, the owner had given me recommendations I had to try, and it did not disappoint. This place is usually fairly busy with limited seating-- a little on the smaller side so I would take it to-go. Very solid sandwich that I thoroughly enjoyed. From the conversations I've heard, it's a Florence favorite for sure! I went back for a second time within two days because it was so good.
I think it's a lot about the experience. We wanted to love this place based on all the great reviews, but the bread itself was a little too blah and the bread to Meat/Cheese ratio was way off. They were good paninis sandwiches, but not the best l've had in the city. Perhaps we just chose the wrong combo, but there are much better sandwiches in Florence that you don't have to wait 30-50 minutes for. The staff there are very cool and helpful in explaining things and helping you make a selection. Have a beer while you wait, it will help with the experience. Everyone has a different taste in sandwiches and this one didn't do it for us.
Really amazing, and we both feel like this needs to be a staple of our trips now. This trip, we got the mortadella/taleggio/tartufo cream/sun dried tomatoes, as well as the sbriciolona/pecorino/pepperoni cream/sun dried tomatoes. Both were incredible, and I'd have a hard time picking one over the other, but my wife would absolutely have picked the sbriciolona and actually wanted to get it again, but we had all of our other meals booked already. I'd also love to try even more of the menu next time around.
This place in my opinion is not worth the hype. The sandwiches were tasty, but it wasn't worth the long lines and slow service. It was a cute place, but I think there are potentially better sandwich places in Florence.

One of my favorite sandwiches I've had in Florence. We got the salami and prosciutto sandwich on focaccia bread. Both were SOOO GOOD. My favorite was the prosciutto sandwich. The ingredients inside of the sandwich were so fresh and flavorful. The bread was crunchy and warm inside. It was perfectly toasty. I still think of this sandwich as I write this review. I miss it to much. read more

Great sandwiches for cheap. Huge variety of toppings, although I've always gotten the same ones. Student deals (€6 or 7 euro for a sandwich, water, and soda, depending on the type of soda) are among the best in the city. Very quickly becoming my everyday lunch place. read more

I came in and asked for the most popular sandwich. The sandwich also had sun dried tomatoes and a jam spread. So many wonderful flavors in every bite. The way they put the sandwich together changed my life. read more

Absolute must try while in Florence! We were desperate for a panino after going to the market. If you aren't looking closely for Sandwichic, you may walk right past it. In a city that has panino shops all over, Sandwichic stands alone. Many other shops you will stand in line forever just to be treated poorly once you're inside and rushed out. There is a level of care that goes into making your sandwich as well as making sure that you choose the correct sandwich. Flavors and textures were spot on and 100% authentic. Bread was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and I got mine slathered with onion jam! Don't leave Florence without going to Sandwichic. read more

Dare I say best sandwich in Florence. Great sodas, great prices, great service. They even have a discounted student menu. Sandwiches are warmed so the cheese is nice and melted. Wonderful place will come back every time. read more
No doubt, the best sandwich I've had in my life. It was so good I came back the next day. Everyone who works here is so nice and they gave great recommendations. The sandwiches are about 5-6€. The bread is incredible, crispy on the outside from being toasted and fluffy on the inside. Even when there's a line, it goes quickly. You have to come here and try the prosciutto truffle sandwich. read more

Walked here from our hotel, The Artists Palace (don't get me started), it's very tiny but very cute. When you walk in, the menu is huge and all in Italian. It's a bit confusing and slightly crowed during lunch time. The people were pretty nice a little reserved. We got a ham and mozzarella sandwich. The bread was absolutely awesome, very crunchy. Would recommend to anyone who wants to be ingrained in the culture! read more
This is one of the BEST sandwiches I've ever had. I got this recommendation from a friend who said this sandwich spot was really good. The price is very reasonable, everything is like 5 EUR. The sandwich I got was a salami sandwich. The bread is a perfect fluffy focaccia with some herbs and seasoning. The salami was very flavorful. The colors of the sandwich was also beautiful. I got this sandwich and sat outside a square nearby to eat. It was such an enjoyable sandwich. Can't pass by this spot! read more

LOVE this sandwich place in Florence. Been twice now and the main guy is the nicest ever. He'll point you in the right direction! The first time I went, I got spicy salami, sweet onion jam ( a must), and gorgonzola. Great flavors together. Yesterday, I got prosciutto, creamy cheese, truffle sauce and mushrooms. Great sandwiches! I only wish they weren't as thin read more

Can we bring you home with us?! Exactly what a sandwich should be. Fresh ingredients + fluffy focaccia bread! And they were huge. Loved running into this little spot right before our tour to see David. Left nice and full + had a local beer to top it off. Hoping to make a trip back before we leave! read more

this place is amazing!! I've been to florence before and really wasn't impressed by all antico. This place on the other hand exceeded all expectations! Everything from the bread to the meat to the spread to the cheese was incredible. I highly recommend coming here. It's so much better than all antico. the pictures I took don't do these sandwiches justice but they are truly incredible! read more
Best panini shop we visited in Florence! Sandwichic is close to Galleria dell'Academia (statue of David) so we ate there after visiting the famous work. The shop is cozy and not at all as crazy and bustling as All' Antico Vinaio on Via de Neri. The employees were kind and helpful to explain the menu, and you can easily tell they are passionate about the shop and its ingredients. I chose one with the made-in-house truffle paste and OHMYGOD it was the best truffle paste I had in Italy, bar none. We loved both our paninis so much we came back right before leaving Florence. I highly recommend SandwiChic. Florentine paninis were a highlight of my trip and that's very much thanks to the great people at this shop right here. read more
Admittedly, I was a little wary of the name. I had originally wanted to go to the more famous sandwich shop in town but it would require a lot of backtracking and we had an Accademia time slot counting down, so I picked this spot. It ended up being a great place! The menu can look a little overwhelming with small handwritten chalk print and since I didn't feel like any more cured meats (it was the tail end of our trip), I ordered a vegetarian sandwich for us to share. It was a simple mozzarella, tomato, and house sauce between excellent focaccia that was both crispy and soft. Yum! Limited seating but we managed to find spots in the back. The guys working there are nice and will speak some English to you if you're struggling. read more
