Can you really have a trip to Florence without snacking on a panini at least once?

But where can you find the best panini in Florence?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Panini are the essential Florentine street food.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chances are you have already heard about <\/span>the <\/span><\/b>paninoteca <\/span><\/i>in Florence, <\/span>All\u2019Antico Vinaio<\/span><\/a>, and we\u2019ll tell you it <\/span>is <\/span><\/i>good. But is it worth waiting in the line that reaches down the street and circles all around the piazza? Honestly, no. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take it from us, you can skip this one and make your way to some other fantastic panini shops where locals still frequent.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Makes a Good Panino, Anyway?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

It may be less about the shop, and more about the quality ingredients, but luckily Tuscany\u2014and Italy overall\u2014has a lot of those.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many shops will have a menu, but also will allow you to pick and choose, making your own sandwich. The general rule of thumb: keep it simple but delicious with salumi, a cheese, a vegetable, and just a little something <\/span>sott\u2019olio<\/span><\/i>\u2014in oil\u2014or a sauce to balance the textures.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll normally have these served between a delicious <\/span>schiacciata, <\/span><\/i>a Tuscan focaccia-like bread.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are feeling really adventurous, you can always try the local specialty, <\/span>lampredotto<\/span><\/i><\/a>. While this word translates to \u201clamprey\u201d in English, it\u2019s actually made from the cow’s stomach!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Panino Tradition<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Grabbing a <\/span>panino <\/span><\/i>in Florence is a timeless tradition. A quick <\/span>lunch<\/span><\/a> that can be enjoyed between museum visits, appointments, work breaks, you name it. It is usually enjoyed with an easy glass of wine perched on a stool outside the shop, or leaning against the wall.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So let\u2019s discover where you can take part in this tradition and find the best panini in Florence!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where to Get the Best Panini in Florence<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

I Due Fratellini<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Find this fantastic hole-in-the-wall <\/span>panino <\/span><\/i>shop just around the corner from Piazza della Repubblica on <\/span>Via dei Cimatori. This little spot has<\/span> just enough space to fit the two brothers who give the place its name, ready to whip you up a delicious panino.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This particular panino shop has been here since 1875, so you\u2019ll truly be stepping into a Florentine tradition. Here you can choose a glass of your choice from the wine bottle-lined walls, or opt for a quick spritz.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This <\/span>paninoteca<\/span><\/i> does offer an already prepared menu to choose from, but don\u2019t be afraid to ask to swap something around.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Casa del Vino<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Though it\u2019s actually one of our favorite <\/span>wine bars in Florence<\/span><\/a>, Casa del Vino happens to also make great panini. If you happen to be wandering towards the station or through the Central Market, hop in here for a very affordable glass of fine wine and a delicious <\/span>panino<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here they have a ready-set menu for you to choose from\u2014we say try out the sausage and stracchino cheese option, which is one of the best!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Semel\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the best of classic Florentine panini, all of the fillings at this spot are cooked from scratch in house. Rather than a simple salumi and cheese pairing, here you can enjoy hot sausage, stewed meat, wild boar ragus, and much more.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These freshly cooked fillings really bring you a whole different experience than the classic panini\u2014something heartier and more filling.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Semel (<\/span>Piazza Lorenzo Ghiberti, 44\/r<\/span><\/i>) is loved by locals and visitors alike, and of course, they\u2019ll always have a glass of wine for you as well!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Few things can beat the simple pleasure of a Florentine-style sandwich. Photo credit: Darren & Brad<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Da Vinattieri<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The perfect lunch for when you are visiting Florence\u2019s favorite historic figure: Dante Aligheri! You\u2019ll find this little <\/span>paninoteca<\/span><\/i> right around the corner from his house-turned-museum.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Something many notice about Da Vinattieri (V<\/span>ia Santa Margherita, 4\/6r<\/span><\/i>) is the <\/span>schiacciata<\/span><\/i> is actually served warm, quite different from many other<\/span> paninoteche. <\/span><\/i>This alone could make it stand out as one of the best panini in Florence, but there\u2019s even more to enjoy!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Da Vinattieri does have a menu, and it is truly a creative one, always adding a burst of taste. Some examples include their <\/span>panino <\/span><\/i>with <\/span>sopressata<\/span><\/i>, ricotta, and oranges;\u00a0<\/span>porchetta <\/span><\/i>and truffle cream; and <\/span>scamorza <\/span><\/i>(a provola-type cheese), zucchini, and pesto cream. These are just a few, but everything on the menu is really bursting with flavor!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here there are a few seats out front if you want to grab a quick seat. Otherwise, take your <\/span>panino <\/span><\/i>for a walk and grab a seat in your favorite scenic corner of Florence\u2019s city center.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Antico Salumificio Anzuini<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

When looking for the best panini in Florence, look for the best ingredients. And that is exactly what you will find here at <\/span>Antico Salumificio Anzuini<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is one of the best panini in Florence because they themselves produce all the salumi and cured meats right in house, so you know you\u2019re getting some of the best fillings.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here you can choose to go with the classic <\/span>schiacciata <\/span><\/i>or just a bread roll and pick your fillings as you wish. If a cold sandwich doesn\u2019t sound like it hits the spot, they also serve up their own sausage and burgers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can grab a seat at one of the few stools inside, or sit down at a sunny table out front and enjoy watching Florence street life wander by.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
