    Dolce boccone

    Grabbed a quick dessert here while walking through. I'm a sucker for Nutella. The girl working was very nice. This tasted really good. If you like Nutella, try this.

    Their list of choices were short however, each one was absolutely delicious! The staff was very kind and I loved the music they played. A wonderful little place to catch in the middle of lots of tourist traps, best schicciata I tried in Florence!

    Not to be confused with the more popular All'Antico Vinaio. This panini joint is much smaller and uses conspicuously similar font to its competitor. However, the paninis here were pretty legit. The focaccia tasted fresh and was slightly oily. There's a very cramped interior where you can eat in peace as opposed to mandatory eating out on the street for All'Antico Vinaio. Overall, the paninis were solid and especially good considering there was no long wait.

    Today's lunch spot.

    So our guide says, 'this place is pretty good'. It was a casual mention, she wasn't raving, but we paid attention and we were glad that we did. There's a line, wait. The sandwiches we got were so big that we ended up throwing one away. It was a true shame. If you get lucky, like we did, you can sit in the restaurant on one of the four bar stools and enjoy your sandwich. It was very nice. So, what more could you want? You've got a big sandwich, a nice glass of wine, and 50% of the bar stools in the place. The guide was right, this was a good spot to eat lunch.

    Really good service! The lady speaks some English and Spanish and Italian (duh) and she's very nice. We had the pork sandwich which was soooooo good. It has greens, pork, grilled egg plant, grilled zucchini and green salsa. It was 7.95 € It was delicious! It's a plus that she doesn't charge you for sitting and eating here :)

    Food 4 Value 5 Service 4 Décor 4 Pros: Super tasty panini with fresh ingredients Convenient location by Palazzo Vecchio You get to watch them make the panini in front of you Cons: long wait Only about 5 seats inside; cramped space After climbing the tower at Palazzio vecchio, my family and I had worked up an appetite. There was a line of about 10 people in front of us who had not ordered their paninis yet and about 10 people already waiting for their panini. It took about 10-15 minutes for the queue to finish and for us get to the cash register to order our panini. They are all 5 euros each which is a steal considering how large these paninis are. Luckily there were 3 people leaving as we were paying so we grabbed their seats which were right in front of the counter and we were able to watch them efficiently make the paninis in front of us. All of the ingredients are SUPER fresh. There was 1 person assembling the paninis and 1 person expediting and dealing with front of the house. It's a small space that won't allow for more than 2 people working though, so there's only so much they can do. Ergo, long wait times. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our paninis. The entire time the team of 2 were working extremely hard on the backlog of paninis, so it was not for lack of effort. Rather, just lack of space and lack of panini grills! The bread was a bit too crunchy for my liking but the ingredients inside were fantastic. They don't put enough meat in the panini though-- only about 1- 1.5 layers which is quite sad. Would I come back here again? Only if the wait time is less than 10 minutes total. Panini Toscani is much better and worth a 30 minute wait.

    My husband and I got the grotto. The sandwich is huge! The server offered to cut it for us. I also tried the spritz. All in all it was good. I thought sandwich was too crunchy. Its a small little place. Most time people take their food out.

    Some of the best sandwiches around, good wine, and excellent service. A hole in the wall, but a great one! My girlfriend asked for a coffee, which they don't do, and the person serving us literally gave her his own!

    My bread tastes freezer burned and there were sparse toppings on my sandwich. It's tourist food, not real Italian.

The owner and staff were fantastic, very knowledgeable and provided great recommendations. The wine bar itself is a small quaint little place. Probably seats about 12 to 15 people total and has plenty of windows so you can see passersby and people watch. The cheeseboard? Get the cheeseboard. They do a fantastic job of pairing everything together to really bring so many flavors to your tastebuds. Their house wine is phenomenal and they take great pride in finding the grapes/different varietals to make it come to life. They have a both a red and a white house wine option. The second time we went - and yes, we went more than once in the four days we were there - we enjoyed one of the sandwiches and it was absolutely amazing. The bread, I can't even explain, the bread it's so flavorful and so good and so light. That paired with the delicious meats and cheeses were 100% worth it. I definitely recommend this location to anybody who is visiting Florence regularly or for their first time.

    We decided to stop at this restaurant on a whim. Wow! We were blown away by the food and service…read more We started with the bruschetta, which was served with fresh tomatoes, olives and arugula. It was delicious and so light! We also ordered wine. We got the Rosso di Montalcino 2024 and it was definitely one of the best glasses of wine I ever had. The steak we had was also amazing. It was tender and so flavorful. The potatoes were also fantastic! At the end of the meal, we had Vin Santo (dessert wine that you dip biscotti in). Very delicious, but very strong. Lastly, the server (maybe manager or owner) brought us out complimentary limoncello. It was also delicious. We definitely had to walk (or try to walk) it off after all that! I can't say enough about the food and service. We went to another steak place a few days before at Trattoria Dalloste. It was a couple of doors away from this place. The service and food didn't even compare to this place. We spent a lot more money for rubbery and fatty steak. They also tried to overcharge us. So, do yourself a favor and try La Cantinetta Osteria con Cucina. You won't be disappointed! If we ever go back to Firenze, we would go back to this restaurant in a heartbeat.

The establishment is nice and inviting, and the staff are friendly and helpful enough. The lasagna was--and I'm not exaggerating -- gross. It looked and tasted like it came out of a can or package. After having excellent lasagna in Tivoli, two of my family members were expecting something at least enjoyable. If we were in a restaurant in American, where we are from, we'd have asked for something else as substitute. I had a risotto dish that was good enough, but the wine pour could have been better. If you come to this place, you may like it enough, based on other reviews, but definitely don't order their atrocious lasagna. Grocery store lasagna is better.

    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.

The line is long right around lunch time but it moves fairly fast. They have a variety of choices so you might need time to decide. We got the proscuitto arrosto e crema tartufata and finocchiona e crema de formaggio. Proscuitto Arrosto E Crema Tartufata- The bread is soft and fresh. The roasted ham is tasty and the truffle cream adds a lovely flavor and ties the dish together. Finocchiona E Crema De Formaggio- Can't sing enough of their bread's praises! The tuscan salami is spicy and flavorful. The fennel is slightly sweet and the cream cheese is smooth and light. Great experience overall!
