This cart was totally a hidden gem and find for my trip in Italy!!…read moreThis cart made my trip so much more memorable!! As the hubby and I were making our way towards the farmers market we saw a bunch of people crowd around this little food cart. Being a curious bee I couldn't help but go up to it and check out what all the commotion was about. Boy, was I glad the one time in my life for being a curious bee. We saw people eating off of this plastic tray and it was just meat and bread. The smell was delicious! I knew that we had to wait our turn and get our hands on some. what was it? bollito also known as boiled beef. it comes with parsley sauce and chili for 4.50 euros. if you don't eat super spicy i would ask them to put less chili or remove some. it will make you break into a sweat and numb your tongue. it was worth every penny! the cart is ran by a husband and wife team. it was so good my hubby and i kept thinking of it and decided to come back the next day! i totally recommend coming here and trying the bollito!!! you won't be disappointed. TRUST ME!!! tips: *if you decide to eat there. you'll have to wait or if you're lucky there will be a small spot to eat at their stand. *sells bottled drinks. *euros only no credit card. *speaks limited english. *allows you to take pictures

Do this not Polini. Green sauce much more potent. Skip on the porchetta though. Try to be there…read morejust before noon to avoid the crowd.

I ordered the lampredotto in zimino (sauce with vegetables). My advice for anyone who is a bit wary, just try it. It isn't at all like tripe (tripe has a weird texture). I'm giving this place 5 stars because I had a great experience, and it got me over my fear of lampredotto. I have absolutely no other basis for comparison. :)

Unassuming street food spot with amazing lampredotto. Not sure about the tripe, only had time and…read morestomach (no pun intended) for one sandwich. Asked for extra spice, nice kick, not bad. It is close to Piazza Della Signoria but also somewhat hidden. I saw another stand and what sets them apart is he was boiling the pots with the lampredotto and the tripe, and he dips the bread into the broth as he prepares the sandwich. If these are your things, try them. If not, the stand also offers other sandwiches.

This spot was recommended by our City tour Guide. We were talking about local eats, Salumerias,…read moresandwiches and the topic of Lampredotto came up. He asked if we've ever had a cow stomach lining sandwich. We asked, as in Tripe? He said, this is not traditional Tripe but in the Tripe neighborhood. It is the fourth and final stomach of the cow or Reed Tripe. Okay, let's see if this is much different. In the middle of a small square (Dante's) this spot is one of a couple of kiosks. Check hours as they are open later than posted inf. Our Tour Guide advised us to mention his name and we can get a sandwich and wine for $5 Euros. Don't think this spot got the memo but no matter this is reasonably priced street food. To the sandwich-oh it's delicious. This version is topped with a slightly spicy tomato sauce with a touch of chimichuri style sauce. The broth the Tripe has been cooked in is soaked up by the bread which gives it the just right soft texture. So rich, saucy and the Tripe is so tender. Wow! According to our Guide this spot has the best Lampredotto in Florence. One of those local flavors that all have an opinion on which spot's version is the best. They had other Sammie's (Bollito-Italian Beef) and sides. When in Firenze this sandwich is a must try!

It can be a little overwhelming as there's a lot happening in their small little kitchen area and most of it is in very lively/spirited Italian. But the line moves quick enough (I actually thought the time the sandwiches takes to prepare was part of the charm as you can tell he's really taking care of each sandwich). The sandwich itself isn't really a cut of meat I would choose to order normally but for what it was it was actually quite tasty-fatty and juicy with a well buttered bun. I probably wouldn't eat this type of sandwich again but for the try this was a really solid option. Small point, I very much appreciated how abundant their napkin station is with such a potentially messy meal.

Looking for a late meal near the hotel, this place looked too prominently situated to actually be…read moregood. But (try this technique) by walking between tables seeing what people were eating, the pizza looked solid. Nice balance of ingredients to crust, alluring. Little was I to know, what a fantastic pizza this would be. The best pizza of my life (well, next to Da Michele's double buffalo mozz in Naples). I don't know if I got lucky, and all the pizza stars aligned when they threw this one together (the table next to me had multiple pizzas come around the same time, but none looked this great), but this scamorza cheese (a lot like mozzarella, but lightly smoked), eggplant, black olive and sublime sausage pizza was one of the most superb creations I've ever eaten. It puts most every other "dish" I've ever had on the back burner, because with most dishes, each bite tastes the same as the last, but with this pizza, every bite was different than the last, and each phenomenally delicious - - just spurring you on until you've enhaled the whole thing, and were supremely glad you did. Went pizza shopping tonight, from place to place (walk through restaurants, and see what they are serving, and what people are eating - - a real education), and finally settled on a very popular place where the pizzas looked OK (if not maybe a bit overly wide) and it was decent - - but it made me pine for the pizza from le Delizie. I mean, at le Delizie the topography was lovely - - no square inch of the 'za was like any other - - each bite had a different concentration of ingredients and a different texture. And even the edges around the crust were to die for, with wonderful light stretch and crunch, and still succulently moist, with a ravenously delicious red sauce (look how it glistens near the crust in the picture I'll attach). This pizza was absolute, total, perfection. Every bite of this pizza was luscious. It cost 7 Euro (plus 2 Euro coperto); the 1/2 liter of sparkling wine from a spigot was cheap, zingy, and refreshing. And after the meal there is a complementary carafe of limoncello, and the service was adept. I mean, for chrissakes, every "Italian" place in the States is nowhere in the same ballpark as a place like this. I'll keep pounding the pavement looking for something in Rimini even close to this standard [wait, no, I'm going back tomorrow - - I've learned my lesson.] .
