Brigette B.

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!

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.

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.

Red Pepper Spread, Italian Salami, Sun-dried Tomatoes

Catherine V.

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.

Bruce M.

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.

Sbriciolona, pecorino, pepperoni cream, sun dried tomatoes

Shawn H.

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.

Niko C.

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 the best sandwiches in florence! the bread was soft not so cripsy. good flavor and great employees

Tori E.

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!

Maggie H.

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.

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.

Locally-made soda. Hard to describe the taste.

John S.

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.

Sandwichic has the best sandwiches I've ever had. A few years ago when I studied abroad in Florence I came here a few times a week - having lived down the block. I absolutely LOVED the sandwiches and the service - Andrea and Marco are absolute gems. When I just came back to Florence a week ago, I was excited but a little worried to return to Sandwichic. The place held such a special spot in my heart - but I was worried coming back it might have changed, and not be as good. Or maybe being in college anything under 5 euros seemed good to me? I had NO reason to be worried. The sandwiches were just as incredible and tasted the same! The staff was even the same. The only difference was it was busier (as it should be!) The staff I had remembered, even remembered me when I walked it. They are beyond friendly - and even though the menu is in italian, they are happy to help explain (when I studied abroad they helped me practice ordering). My favorites are basically anything with the local salami. Their spreads are amazing - I bought a few to bring home. I almost did not want to write a review because I don't want to give anyway this gem. Best sandwich in Florence, in Italy and probably the world. If you are in Italy make a point to go!! read more

Sandwiches were amazing. One of their strengths is also one of their weaknesses, according to our 11 yo son. Great customer service. They will take their time to explain the entire menu and are in no rush. The downside is the line moves excruciatingly slow. We showed up with 10-12 people in line and it took over 45 minutes to get food. But it was so good I'm still debating going back next week to try the spicy salami they were out of today. So if you're patient and don't mind lines that move 1-2 feet every 5 minutes then I highly recommend! Also very small place and a tight squeeze to even get out past the line coming in. Maybe 2 or 3 stools so it's a to-go place. read more

Great spot for a grab-and-go sandwich. High-quality ingredients and the prices are very reasonable as well. The restaurant is small with limited seating so don't expect to get a table, but if you're looking for a to-go option, you'll be very pleased. Also, the staff is friendly and helpful, and it's clear that they are serious about creating a quality product and experience for customers. True sandwich artistry! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Sandwichic! Hands down, this place definitely makes the best panino I have ever had in my whole life. I studied abroad in Florence for 1 semester, and this place became a weekly tradition to visit for me and two of my friends. We loved it so much after our first visit, that we didn't even want to go to another panini shop in Florence, because we were afraid that it just couldn't compare to the deliciousness at Sandwichic. Everything about this place define what you would imagine a traditional Italian panini cafe. First off, the employees here are so kind and make a point to remember you when are visiting so frequently, as was our case! Andrea and Marco were the two employees that we saw each time that we visited; and I have to say that they make such a great team! Second of all, you cannot beat the prices here! If you are a student, you can get a panino and a water bottle for only 3.5 Euros! (Being back in NY makes me cringe when I see that the average price for a sandwich here is at least $10). Third of all, they have an endless number of options here, including plenty of sandwiches for vegetarians as well. The hardest part about coming here is trying to decide which one to get, because they all seem so appetizing. Fourth, the quaint ambience created by the small counter top seating, antique decorations, and relaxing jazz music help make it such an inviting place to come to! Last but not least, the crisp, freshly baked bread paired with the fresh vegetables, cheeses and meats that they use, are just unbelievable! Once you try this place, you will just not be able to get enough of it! read more

Found this little gem on our way back to our flat from Mercato Centrale. We were planning on getting sliced cured meat from Mercato Centrale but the meat station seemed to be closed... I remembered seeing Sandwichic on our way to Centrale Mercato and said to myself I'd come get meats here if I can find it elsewhere. It's hard to miss Sandwichic because it stands out beautifully with the window displays. We went for their dried meats al la carte to go. It was €4 for 100 grams of prosciutto we got 200 g: I highly recommend this one, fabulous. €4 for 100 grams of Tuscan salami: also highly recommended. €3 for 100 grams of some dark meat shoulder stuff: good but a little in different. We ended up paying €16 for three types of cured meats. Very reasonable considering how much they give. We would've been fine with just prosciutto and Tuscan salami. Both were outstanding, some of the best cured meats. We have been slicing bread from Centrale Mercato, drizzling Olive Oil and toasting then putting the meats with some Sheeps milk cheeses... So good. Marco was very polite, professional and very classy. There are three young men who own this shop and they are passionate about their food and customer service. Thank you Sandwichic. read more

Let me tell you about a little place called SandwiChic... This hole-in-the-wall Florentine sandwich shop epitomizes Italy in the most wonderful ways possible. Before filling its walls with the aroma of fresh bread and olive oil, this place was a sewing shop. When the three wonderful gentlemen of SandwiChic took over, they saved the sewing machines, buttons, and other accoutrements to decorate their store. Talk about charming. Allora... i panini! These sandwiches are transcendent. The ingredients are fresh, and the combinations are insightful. If you don't know what you want, simply ask one of the delightful young men behind the counter to surprise you, and you will be forever thankful. You can also order any sandwich to your liking, but be careful. If these guys don't believe your ingredients will work in perfect harmony, they will insist that you try something else. They're not rude about it, they just want you to be as satisfied as humanly possible. SandwiChic is one of the many things I miss about living in Florence, and I dream of the day I can return. read more

It was the best sandwich ever! So simple yet so delicious. I'm used to big crazy sandwiches from San Francisco, but this simple delectable masterpeice makes me rethink if all those add on are really needed if you have a few super high quality ingredients that complement each other so well. _____ Overall Experience 5/5 Stars _____ Last Words Orgasmic in its simplest form read more

Based on the name alone, SandwiChic might sound unauthentic/tacky at first, but I visited here because it was right in between my hostel and Galleria dell' Academia, and I was so glad that I did! The menu is pretty large and can be intimidating since it's all in Italian, but the employees were so helpful and friendly, they gave me a few recommendations and explained everything to me. I ended up getting a sandwich with their local salami, truffle spread, cheese and (I think) arugula. It was delicious, made with fresh ingredients, and was super cheap too! Their bread was amazing too, soft but lightly crunchy on the outside and with great flavor. There's a little bit of seating in the back, but you can definitely take this to go if you want to. They also have a few options for drinks that looked great, but I did not try any. I actually went back again a couple days later before I left Florence and got another sandwich with the salami, cheese, and roasted red peppers, which was also delicious. A lot of people compare this to All'antico Vinaio, and although I personally did not go there to compare, my friend who I met up with went to both. She said that both places are great and have delicious sandwiches, but SandwiChic is much less crowded/touristy, more friendly, and has better bread. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that visits and hope to eat here again when I travel to Florence again. read more

I took a sandwich with some spicy salame. The bread was fresh, crunchy and full of taste. The meat was so delicious, can't compare this with store bought, pre-packed salame. In total maybe a bit salty because of the cheese, but with some ice tea it was a perfect combination. The personel is friendly and it was fun to see the guy making the sandwiches. There's some space in the back to sit, but I took mine on the go. Plus: they have student deals! Would recommend. read more

OMG...this was amazing. If we were in person, I'd sputter about just how amazing this place is. There were four of us and we went in with high expectations, given the reputation, where we were in Florence, etc etc. It far exceeded any expectations we could have had!! It's close to the market so you can pop into the small sandwich shop and grab a culinary delight for your walk about town. The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful in navigating the large and amazing sounding menu. The best part about every sandwich on the menu (we ended up trying a significant portion of the menu during our stay in Florence) was that they were simple - fresh/great quality ingredients, without foo-foo "fancy" things like asparagus scented garlic-basil infused foam (yes it's a thing..and it's lame). The bread was fresh and flavorful. The spreads they put on the bread (instead of traditional mayo/mustard) were amazing! They were so fresh and flavorful that you could have made a meal with just the bread and spreads. The spreads ranged from a spicy red pepper spread to eggplant to truffle. The cheeses were amazing! Mostly Percorino given the region but a range from soft and creamier cheeses to the ultra dry shaved varieties. The meats were to die for! The prosciutto, salami, mortadella, and pancetta siiigh..they were phenomenal! Freshly sliced/shaved for your sandwich they were juicy, flavorful and impressive. The worst thing you can do to meat is pre-slice it and let it sit around to oxidize and harden. They definitely don't make that mistake here. Best of all...these phenomenal creations are only 4 euro. You can't go wrong at Sandwichic! A must visit! read more

This was hands down the best sandwich shop that we found while in Firenze. We stopped by for a quick lunch after the Uffizi one day. The actual store is a little bit small and if you're arriving during lunch at the high tourist point in the year, you may have to wait a bit in line. However, we only had a couple Chinese tourists in front of us before we got to order. The list of sandwiches available here are extensive and most are unique to only this shop. I recommend that you take your time with the menu and chose your sandwich like you would a prom date, because I promise that the sandwich will be so good that you will want to fuck it. We got a vegetarian sandwich equipped with eggplant, gorgonzola, and some other amazing pieces of Italian food, a couple glasses of serve yourself wine (love you, Italy) and then sat in the back on a couple of chairs while we planned the rest of our day in Florence. This place is legit and well worth their #1 ranking on Tripadvisor. read more

Affordable, but excellent local meats and savory tomato "jams" in generous portion. Staff friendly, and we enjoyed their recommendations. I had their salami, the kind only made in the area. My husband had a sampling of their truffled sandwiches. Both worth visiting Firenze for again! By the way, it's a very small shop with only a couple of seats. Expect to take your sandwich to go. read more

Just happened upon this place on our way back to our hotel from the Academia and saw the guy slicing meat in the window. I got a prosciutto sandwich and my husband got the sandwich of the day. Both were amazing and only €14 for both with 2 waters to go. read more

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.

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 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.

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.

Visited Sandwichic today after a friend recommended it to me, and I had one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. I politely asked if they had pesto, and the worker immediately became hostile, telling me I was "not educated" and calling me "a stupid fucking American." As a study abroad student, I was honestly shocked by how disrespectful and aggressive the interaction was.There is absolutely no reason for staff to insult customers personally over a simple question. I came in excited to try the place, but instead left feeling embarrassed and unwelcome. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this place to other students or travelers. read more
