Best sandwich in Florence! The line can be deceiving but it moves quickly so don’t be discouraged, these are worth the wait! Take a look at the menu in advance so you know what you want at the counter. These Gus move quickly and you’ll have a warm toasted sandwich in no time. We tried their #1 and Rossa! The #1 was our favorite with the spicy spread adding a kit to our taste buds. And the toasted bread was a welcomed crunch to the other versions of this dish. They offer seating upstairs but most folks just grab and go as your sandwich comes nicely wrapped ready to eat over the counter. For the price and toasted bread this place won our vote for best sandwich in Florence!

This place was sooo good. Deserves it's reputation. We somehow got super lucky with no queue as we went a bit of an odd time of the afternoon. 100% endorse recommendations for the Suicida sandwich. It was the best spicy sauce we had at any of the sandwich places we tried (and we tried a good amount). Bread really great and sun-dried tomatoes on point. There's a small seating area upstairs as well, which was a bonus. Nice large beer available too.

One of the famous places to have a schiacciata; it has a big cue outside, but it was worth the wait! Very well served schiacciata, filled with the ingredients asked for. We tried the summer special with spicy salami and it was amazing! The ingredients were full of flavour. The gulosa was also very good. Very nice and friendly staff. If you want, you can sot upstais, most people don’t know about this.

We happened upon this spot from a TikTok video and I’ Girone De’ Ghiotti did not disappoint. We waited about 45 minutes to an hour, but honestly, it was completely worth it. The sandwiches were outstanding, especially the bread, which was truly next-level. The service was friendly and genuinely great. Upstairs, there’s a cozy little space where you can sit and enjoy your meal, which was a nice touch in such a small shop. All in all, if you’re in Florence, you absolutely owe it to yourself to give this place a shot.

Whatever glowing review you’ve read about this place — believe it, it’s true. Just go. Don’t let the queue scare you off; this is one of those spots I’d happily wait for. Sure, seating is limited, but honestly, who cares? Florence is full of little corners where you can sit, eat, and savor every bite of that perfectly crispy focaccia. Hands down, one of the best “sandwiches” (if we can even call it that) you’ll ever have. And if you’re lucky enough to snag a seat inside, the music adds to the vibe too. Bottom line: just try it. You won’t regret it.
