Traveler reviews
Rosanne Kozlowski
★★★★★3 weeks agoWow, an amazing sandwich shop. We ate at a different sandwich shop earlier in the week and that place does not hold up to the hype compared to this place. Their focaccia is lighter and crisp. Their meats and cheeses are of superior quality comparatively. Just be prepared to wait a minute or two as it’s just the owner making sandwiches. They are half the price of the other shop! Highly recommend to add the spicy sauce, the onion jam or any vegetables to your sandwich to curate it to your tastes. I added fresh tomato to mine and it was just outstanding. Best sandwich I’ve ever had.

★★★★★4 months agoI wanted to try a typical Florence sandwich during my time here. Came to this small shop and was not disappointed. Got a huge, delicious sandwich for just 5€ I asked the employee to recommend me something so I’m not even sure what I was eating but I liked it. It’s in a touristy, popping area but it’s still cheap and good so for me it’s a win. Very close to a big plaza where you can sit and eat.
