“ AMAZING! I did have to wait in a 1.5 hr line... which was annoying but these sandwiches are worth the hype if you are looking for something amazing and not sit down type food. We did get in line at absolute peaks rush hour for this place so I don't think you would have much of a longer line then we did... overall very good food... can't go wrong ”

“ This spot offers generous portions for their sandwiches, making it great value for what you get. There's an amazing variety to choose from, and the taste is genuinely impressive. The sandwiches are unique and definitely worth trying at least once. That said, while they're good, they're not necessarily something you'll crave again, but if you're looking for a solid, satisfying sandwich experience, this place delivers. ”

“ Schiacciata di Firenze We came here on the reommendation of a longtime resident of Florence who told us that this was the best sandwich in the world. I don't know about that but even on Monday there was a long queue and the sandwiches were delicious. It was a little confusing because there were 3 outlets on Via dei Neri. We chose the one with the smallest queue and ordered and paid for our sandwiches from a digital screen. The sandwiches are quite rich, large and salty, so one sandwich is probably enough for two people! You can walk around the corner to Piazza della Signoria to eat your lunch - but watch out for pickpockets!! If someone sits next to you without a sandwich or a phone watch out!! ”

“ Best sandwiches in Italy...be prepared to stand in line, but well worth the wait. All sandwiches are freshly prepared, with awesome ingredients between two pieces of fresh focaccia bread. Highly Recommend!!! They're also located in Rome so you can eat in Firenze and Rome... ”

“ Best. Sandwich. Ever. And worth the hype. While this particular restaurant has Italian sandwiches you can find similarly all over the country, a few things set them apart, including the quality of the bread, meat, and sauces they use. The quantity is the perfect size, especially made for walking around town. My friend and I waited in the long line to get our sandwiches as we couldn't help but notice how many others were also waiting in line. It was definitely worth the wait and I highly recommend getting the truffle or pistachio cream on any sandwich as it is unlike anything else I have tasted! ”

“ Really good sandwiches. Super confused on what we ordered, but it was delicious! There is the actual sandwich shop on one side where you watch them make the sandwiches in front of you, and on the other side of the street are multiple kiosks where you can place your order and wait for them to call out your number when your order is ready. We were told the kiosks were faster, but honestly it seemed to go about the same pace. Would have been nice to see all of the meat and topping options in front of us so we knew what we were ordering haha. Oh and you can DEFINITELY split a sandwich, they are HUGE! ”

“ Huge lines to get these sandwiches! There were two lines down the street but worth the 30 mins wait. The same two shops are right across from each other. They had a guy who stood at the entrance of each shop to stop people from cutting in line. The best sandwiches I've had in Florence. The focaccia bread was toasted and crusty. It's the bread that is the star though the fillings were generous and delicious too. It's a large sandwich so we had them cut it in half. Two sandwiches fed 4 of us. ”

“ So I gave into the social media hype and came here despite friends telling me it's good but not blow your mind good. The only thing I was dreading was the line to order but fortunately we came during an off hour and it was raining. There was still a line but it was super short so I was able to order relatively quickly. Best time to come if off hours and when the weather isn't the best if you want to avoid the crazy long line here. I had photos of what I wanted to order but apparently a lot of the sandwiches look similar so I was frantically trying to decide what I wanted. Since I didn't want to be that guy and try to Google Translate the entire menu, I just asked what's their most popular sandwich and ordered that. It turns out that it's the Favolosa. Considering how busy the staff is, they provided good customer service to everyone. They didn't take long to make it and they were kind enough to accommodate my request to cut the sandwich in half since it's huge. We also got the sandwich to go during to the weather. The sandwich came with Sbriciolana, crema di pecorino and crema di carciofi e melanzane piccanti. It was good but I wasn't impressed. Mink also thought the sandwich was just ok. Fast forward, we were leaving Florence to go to Rome and had time to kill at the station. I was hungry so I walked around Florence S.M.N. To see what they offered. Apparently there are two locations here! One on level 0 and one on level -1. The -1 had a significantly shorter line so it was a no brainer and I decided to give them another try. This time I took my time to Google Translate the menu and confirm with the cashier on what's in the sandwich. I ordered their Italiana which came with Prosciutto crudo di Parma, mozzarella di bufala and pomodoro e pesto di basilico. They also accommodated my request to cut the sandwich in half here. I personally liked this sandwich a lot more than my first sandwich. Would I eat it again? Yes, this one I would but would I wait in that crazy line? Probably not. It's best to go to the other locations that aren't as busy to try their sandwiches. Still glad I gave them a try in Florence. ”

“ I had to go. I went early (0955) to avoid the line and was surprised to see they have three different stores. I stood in line with everyone else not realizing they were all open so staff came out and split us up to make the wait shorter between the different counters. The menu is large on the wall so when you wait you can decide your order. The bread was as good as everyone says and the fillings were even better. Traveler tip - if the sandwich is too big, eat half and ask for a bag for the rest. There was a little station where I could wrap my leftovers and then I had a bag to make it easier and less messy. Plus I didn't have to stuff myself or waste a delish panino! ”

“ Delicious sandwiches! The best focaccia sandwich bread around. The toppings. The choices. The crowds. The taste! So, so good. They expanded across the street to accommodate the almost ever present crowds. This place has expanded recently into NYC and LA and hopefully to Seattle soon! I chose the Tartufo 4 which contains: Cotto al Tartufo, Mozzerela Fior di Latte, Crema di Carciofi e Baslico. All for 10 Euro. Fair prices and quickly made by the masters behind the counter. The sandwich is so yummy with crispy focaccia bread, freshly sliced meats and cheeses and a wonderful spread. There are a lot of sandwich choices in Florence but All 'Antico Vinaio is by far the superior choice. There's a reason there are such crowds and happy faces around. ”
