    Have you ever had a life-changing sandwich? I did. Once (here, approx. ten minutes ago). I can really recommend the Francesca. Amazing quality, you can see that the food is made with love (and just the right amount of oil and acidity). This sandwich had me moaning and curling my toes a bit I can’t lie. Quick service, amazing prices, funny wall decorations. 10/10 no complaints.

    Absolutely phenomenal sandwiches! The ingredients are great and the layers of flavors are perfect. We got the number one (porchetta with sundried tomatoes, arugula, and a spicy pepper sauce) and it was amazing. The sauce on it was dynamic and worked so well. We went to another shop on the block for comparison and there was no comparison. We came back here immediately to try another sandwich because the first was so good. La Rosa with the prosciutto, brie, truffle cream, and arugula was a perfect sandwich. Truly nothing could be added to improve it; it was amazing. We were so happy to find this shop, and the guys that work there are awesome! Highly recommend stopping by this place.

    Favourite place to order some of the BEST sandwiches I have ever eaten. Went several times and its best to go went its less crowded. The dynamic is more of a take away. It can be quite salted, recommend to buy some water too! Staff really nice. Lot of nice options. I EVEN BOUGHT ONE FOR MY FLIGHT DINNER AT THE AIRPORT !!!

    Let's be honest: Florence is beautiful, but the city center can feel like one giant tourist trap — at least when it comes to finding legitimately good food. From the outside, I' Girone De' Ghiotti looks like every other panino window in town, and you couldn't be blamed for passing it by without a second glance. But that would be a big mistake. The shop is tiny and, during the busiest hours of the day, it can be hectic. But the sandwiches are served on homemade bread that is toasted to perfection, and are topped with meats curated largely from local, small-batch suppliers around Tuscany. You can taste the quality instantly. My wife and I were blown away by how flavorful these sandwiches were — so much so that we came back for a second round during our four days in the city. (That's something we almost never do.) Part of the reason why? Aside from the quality, the value can't be beat. Sandwiches here typically range from five to eight euros, and if you grab them for lunch, they're big enough to keep you satiated until even a late dinner. Where else can you find something this good for the equivalent of $7? Just be forewarned: they have a strict no ketchup, no mayo policy! (If you're asking for mayo on something like this, I'm not sure how to help you...). This will be our first stop when we get off the train every time we visit Florence.

    We had really nice lunches twice from this place. Two helpful tips wanted to share for tourists who are planning to visit; 1. If you cannot have a smelly cheese then careful to choose the right sandwiches! Their menu is hard to read as a foreigner so read the ingredient carefully to choose the right one :) 2. If you want to avoid lining up, try going around 4pm. Lunchtime usually you need to wait around 30mins.

    Order at the register. Pay first, get a ticket. We split the Suicida. (6€) Then I saw the light and was reborn. Truly one hell of a sandwich. Upstairs seating, cold beers, cards accepted. Heavenly. Thank you!

    The food was amazing, one of the best sandwiches that we ever had! It is a great place to stop for a quick and quality meal. There are a few seats inside dowstair and upstairs great for a quick rest after visiting florence.

    This is by far the best place to grab a quick and delicious lunch if you’re in Florence! I’ve been studying here for about two months and this has become my go-to place right after class. The staff is also super friendly. See you again tomorrow! 🇮🇹🇸🇪👋

    Italians are known masters of food. But guys at this piece of heaven are masters of sandwiches or the world. Few places we got such warm welcome, such lite, friendly atmosphere. The sandwiches were divine, but this was a highlight or our trip. Thank you so much for being there, and having your business running and making memories for all the people who are lucky to find you.

    Fantastic sandwiches served piping hot with fresh ingredients. Although there is sometimes a line, it moves quickly and the sandwiches get made fast. We went three times on our trip to Florence because you just can’t beat the quality and value here!

    Fantastic and very inexpensive sandwich shop in the middle of all the tourist trap restaurants. Sandwiches are fantastic, they have a small dining room on the first floor away from the heat and crowds. You buy at the counter and then take your sandwich upstairs. Most sandwiches are 5 euros, wine 🍷 4 euros, water 1.5. Sandwiches are large so don’t order too much.

    Favorite Sandwich shop in Florence. Literally the best sandwiches we ever had. Much better than the kinda overrated (still great) All’antico. I wish I could come here every day. When we were leaving Florence we actually come back here just to get a to-go snack for the train. Simply amazing quality of the ingredients and huge selection of toppings to choose from, while the bread is the crispiest bread imaginable. Huge recommendation.

    When I say the best sandwich place I’ve ever been to I mean it. This place is legit. I came back time and time again when I was visiting Florence. My wife agreed. The best I have ever had. They are also very kind. 10/10 would recommend.

    Sorry my friend! That it took a couple months for my review! For my travelers, if your looking for an excellent sandwich, look no further! This hidden shop is the best way to beat the long lines at the other popular shop and having a great interaction with the owner! Highly recommend this sandwich shop so good we order 2 sandwiches to go on our tour to Pompeii the next morning! -Jesse from North Dakota!

    One of my favorite sandwich shops in Florence. The owners get all their ingredients from the region and work very closely with the producers and product. The food is fresh, delicious and super affordable. There is room to sit upstairs. The sandwiches are very tasty and there’s a large selection of choices. 100% recommend this stop if you’re in Florence. The dessert sandwich with olive oil, salt and Nutella is to die for !! Great shop, super friendly and welcoming owners. A wonderful address

    My family and I found this Florence restaurant by chance walking down the alley and looking for somewhere to eat lunch. We were glad that we did! There was a line outside of the restaurant where customers were holding pink tickets and were waiting for their orders to be completed. Walking into the restaurant, there were bar stools lined against the wall along with bottles of wine on shelves overhead. The restaurant also offered a variety of drinks from sodas, water and beer. People were heading upstairs for additional seating. My wife, daughter and I ordered #2 - Lussuriosa (Tuscan Prosciutto (Raw Ham), Balsamic Vinegar Glaze, Walnuts and Red Salad), #4 - Invidiosa (Sbriciolona (Traditional Fresh Salami with Fennel), Gorgonzola Cheese Cream, Zucchini and Arugola (Rocket Salad)) and #5 - Violenta (Spicy Salami, Eggplant (Aubergine), Spicy Oil and Salad). It took about 35 minutes to get our sandwiches (which are reasonably priced) due to everything being freshly prepared from slicing the meats to putting the fresh ingredients together. The huge sandwiches were worth the wait! The toasted bread had a crunch to it and the flavors of the ingredients were outstanding! We were so impressed with our sandwiches that we dropped by the restaurant the next day for lunch to have the same three sandwiches again! I' Girone De' Ghiotti is highly recommended ... 5 Stars!!!

    This tiny shop in the centre of Florence has us blown away! We decided to come here for a quick takeaway for our dinner and we were surprised with the friendliness of the staff and the amazing sandwiches they make fresh in front of you. We got a Dante and a Discordia. They also allow you to change some of the ingredients of the schiacciata or create your own one by picking the ingredients. We ended up paying only 13 euros for both which is a steal for Florence. The quality and quantity of ingredients of our schiacciata was out of this world. The Porchetta was lovely and so were the cheeses. The portions are very generous. Absolutely recommended!! 11/10

    The sandwiches here are incredible, probably the best panini sandwich I've ever had in my life and it so good that I had to try a second one off the menu immediately afterwards. Both of mine were vegetarian options (I ordered the "Beatrice" first and then the "Francesca", both were 10/10). Favorite meal I have had in Florence so far this trip. I might actually come back here tomorrow which I don't normally do as I like to try new places.

  • 5/5 Robert O. 9 months ago on Google
    This place was so good we went here two days in a row. I don't do that, I like to try new places, especially on vacation. We had the #1 (spicy porchetta sandwich) and a few different prosciutto sandwiches (#10, and the special Pinocchio). They were all amazing, and the staff was super friendly and clearly proud of their sandwiches. The line can seem long, but it goes fast. My kids demolished their sandwiches, too. Happy family.

  • 5/5 Lauren H. 2 years ago on Google
    The best sandwich I have ever tasted. The bread is homemade and delicious with salt and olive oil and the meats and cheeses are from local, small farms. The specialty sandwiches and Nutella dessert were delicious. Amazing prices as well!

  • 5/5 Conrad Hart-Brooke (. 10 months ago on Google
    Wow! What can I say. Looking for a cheap lunch in Florence, we stumbled on this place and were blown away. There is a constant queue and a wait for the food, but it flows and the food is fresh and amazing and you can have a brilliant €4 wine while you wait! We will definitely be back and thats as high praise as is possible. I love places where the € you spend is right there on the plate, and this place could not exemplify that ethos more, basic seating, amazing choice of sandwiches and good wine by the glass. Perfecto!

  • 5/5 Wang Poh Peng (Ric W. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing vibes and food. First you queue up for a ticket, then wait for your number to be called. There is free wifi and seating on top without service charged. You can even get a small cup of red wine at 2 Euros! Very wallet friendly for travelers who just want to try things out! Get number 1 sandwich which won’t go wrong! You can ask the staff in English for recommendations based on your preferences :)

  • 5/5 Julia H. 11 months ago on Google
    The BEST sandwich shop in Florence. As a study abroad student who has been living here for four months, I can say that this place beats every other sandwich in the city. I come here 3x a week and am always satisfied. The owners are super nice and welcoming. They’re products are so fresh and amazing. It’s a must visit in Florence!

  • 5/5 Olivia R. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff are very friendly and passionate about their product. We loved it so much we came back the next day and they remembered us! It is a bustling and cosy store with quality ingredients. Staff are helpful with explaining the best options and their favourites even if you aren’t fluent in Italian. 100% recommend!

  • 5/5 Aleksander I. 1 year ago on Google
    The Sandwiches were really tasty. It's nice that you can customize yours and also there are some really nice flavours (wild boar). The restaurant is quite small but cozy.

  • 5/5 Dee-Aye A. 1 year ago on Google
    Good quality sandwiches at a very affordable price. Staff were also friendly and accommodating! Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Philip Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Great sandwiches with delicious bread. Simple but so tasty. Glad we stopped by. Hard to find seating because it's a small place but we eventually found some stools after a little wait.

  • 5/5 Juliana 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely sandwiches and staff! I had the Discordia Schiacciate (Tuscan salami, pecorino cheese cream, tomatoes, & salad) but you can't go wrong with any of them. They're a great price & I'd definitely go back again.

  • 5/5 Joana D. 1 year ago on Google
    The sandwiches were delicious. You have many options and believe me when I say you will be fully satisfy after eating one. We took the sandwiches and ate them at piazza della signoria. It was a great dinner.

  • 5/5 Julia G. 1 year ago on Google
    My dad said, “I would come here for breakfast” and “I could do this everyday.” THATs all you need to know. Our tour guide from the morning recommended the salami “Sbriciolona” - so we ordered La Verde on Schiacciate. Amazing.

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 1 year ago on Google
    SO good and fresh! You must visit this place for an authentic Italian panini! I came here twice on my trip. The Nutella panini with olive oil and salt is also AMAZING!!

  • 5/5 Madeline W. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    This is the best place to get a sandwich in all of Florence. They take their time making sure each sandwich is quality. They also have a wonderful and friendly staff. My friends and I come for the amazing and fresh food and the experience!
