4.8 / 5.0(4,587 reviews)

I went during lunch and waited 30 minutes in line - and I’d do it all over again. The sandwich was hands down the best I’ve ever had: fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and perfectly balanced. This place is popular for a reason, and the wait only builds the anticipation. If you're in Florence and craving something unforgettable, I' Girone De' Ghiotti is a must. Just be prepared to queue… and maybe plan your next visit before you even finish the first bite. 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! Been in Italy 5 days and this could just be the best meal we have had so far. My wife got the #2 and I got the #7. They were heavenly ( as if Michaelangelo’s hands of God had made the sandwiches). The meat, the bread , the dressing. Had it for lunch and thinking about going back for dinner. The line outside extended down to the end of the block and took about 25 minutes. It would have been worth an hour. Also there are a few tables upstairs that no one seems to use which means we did not have to eat it standing in the street. Don’t miss this place.

Absolutely the best sandwich in Florence — totally worth the wait! The first day I passed by, there was a long line, so I decided to come back the next day. I ordered a small #7, and the moment I took the first bite, I instantly regretted it — it was soooooo delicious! I should’ve ordered the regular size. The next day at noon, I went back again. The staff outside were still efficiently managing the line. Suddenly, he asked if I had come yesterday — he said he recognized my shoes! 😃 This time, I ordered the large #7. The bread was perfectly toasted, filled with rich truffle sauce — absolutely amazing. The line was totally worth it. 😋😋😋

Amazing sandwich !! Easily one of the best in Florence and fully deserving its reputation. The line was long but moved quickly; we waited about 20 minutes, which is nothing compared to All’Antico Vinaio. I ordered their classic Suicida and it was top notch. Definitely a must-try spot if you’re looking for an authentic Florentine sandwich experience
