If youre looking for a sandwich that will surely please your tastebuds, this place is the spot! Ive…read moretried a few of these sandwich shops around the area and I' Girone de' Ghiotti stands out on top. From the perfectly baked bread that is warm, a crunchy outer and isnt dense, to the fantastic combination of ingredients, I was enjoying every bit (and/or bite) of my sandwich. I ordered the La Rossa and wow my tastebuds were dancing. The prosciutto, truffle cream, brie and arugula made for such a delicious sandwich. Ugh, I cant wait to try more. I ended up finding a seat at the narrow and small bar area along the cramped space where you order/pay for your order. There is more seating upstairs but I didnt get to see it. I didnt mind that small area to eat since eating a sandwich isnt very space-consuming.

Worth the tourist trap line. We went around 11:45 and got our food 30 minutes later. There are…read moreactually two stores next to each other so you can get in either line! We got the Tuscana after seeing many people recommending it on Yelp - nice work y'all! It was delicious. All their ingredients are clearly fresh including their bread. We also asked for them to cut our sandwich in half and it was just right for two people.

With that being said, ate half of the sandwich and felt so full. I saw many people order just one for themselves and not finishing it. Ordered the Italiano and it was perfect packed with fresh ingredients!!! Would return back when I return to Florence one day! Restaurant is super chill and casual with seating. There's even free restrooms to use which was a nice bonus!

November 9, 2024 2:30PM…read more It does appear they have two stalls on the same street that you can order from. 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. Watch out for the pigeons getting ready to take your crumbs too, you can see them on the ledge of the building getting ready to attack. A must visit for Florence.

I am an Asian female. ***updated 2025 post- I showed the owner and pointed at my boyfriend who was in line multiple times that we were purchasing food. *** updated 2023 post - Apparently my post was blocked because the owner of the store tried to cover my true experience. Racist owner randomly took my table and chair while I was eating on it to give to a Caucasian European couple. l'm an Asian female by the way. I showed him that my boyfriend was waiting in line to purchase food and constantly assured him we were using them and that we were buying food. He still took my table and chair and said I'll give you another one- to which it down graded to eating off 3 short chairs. I told the European couple that it wasn't fair that the server took our table to give to them and they just smiled and dismissed me. Racism at its finest. Their sandwich is not good. Actually the sandwich shop across the street I' Grone De Ghiotti is way better with service and sandwich taste. Sadly I don't think this post will change the attitude of the owner.

I had my first panini today at Panini Toscani. This place has great Yelp reviews, so I figured it…read morehad to be legit. You walk into this tiny little sandwich shop and you better be ready to order immediately. First came the bread selection, then the meat, then the cheese. Pointing at things seemed to work best for me. I managed to say "Italian bread" while pointing to the top shelf, and when I pointed at the meat I asked, "That's pork, okay?" Deep breath... good start. Then they asked me about cheese. Hold on now, I'm still mentally processing my bread choices -- I'm not prepared for this speed-ordering competition. I finally said, "Whatever your best seller is," and they slapped on some kind of white cheese that I still cannot identify. Last step: toppings. The lady behind the counter pointed at something green and said, "This goes well with pork." I said, "Hit it." Finally, ordering complete. I grabbed my drink, paid the old man at the door who was running the whole operation with grace and happiness, and found the only outside seat available. Good timing too, because halfway through my panini the line was 10+ deep. That first bite was fantastic. The crunch and crumble of the bread somehow lasted all the way to the final bite. I added tomatoes, and the green stuff had this sweet flavor with a hint of dill. Whatever it was... it worked. This panini absolutely lived up to the Yelp hype. And to the old man running the place -- you do good work. Don't overwork yourself.

The seating is quite cozy with only a few chairs available and literally directly across from the same counter in which you are picking up your order lol. The sandwiches are rectangular, massive, and will definitely fill you up! I got the Fiorenza with the exterior being a crispy focaccia flatbread with layers upon layers of dried cured ham and Pecorino cheese (super good btw!). It's very easy to make a mess eating this kind of sandwich but if you're a crunchy bread fan like me, then you'll enjoy this wholeheartedly.

Each day there was a small crowd gathered around this place. People of all ages happily stuffing their faces with schiachiatta (like a panini) which is toasted to perfection. I got a dessert schiachiatta - Nutella and ricotta. The sweetness of the Nutella and the creaminess of the ricotta contrasted nicely with the slight saltiness of their crisp baguette. So good!

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.
