One of my favorite sandwich spots in the world. Hole in the wall that's quick and dirty and delicious. The prosciutto + rocket + mozzarella sandwich is fantastic. I don't know what they do to it that makes it so fantastic, but it is. Order two. And a glass of the house red. Then lean against the opposite wall like a local and people watch. The line can be daunting, but stick with it. The good: fantastic, simple sandwiches. The bad: sometimes club promoters will try to hand you flyers while you wait in line, but that's totally worth the experience. read more

This is one of those places that friends all say you *have* to stop by while in Florence. I made a point to this time and was definitely not disappointed. The two guys working the tiny sandwich window are friendly, fast and fun. Don't let the long line (of mostly locals when we were there) deter you - it moves quickly! The sandwiches are fresh and tasty and a good size (I had been told they were very small and expected as such - but I made a meal of mine). I sometimes find the bread used in simple meat sandwiches in Florence a bit dry, but this bread was particularly good: soft, fresh & delish. And don't forget to order a glass of wine do drink with your sandwich, that you can set on the set shelves on the wall. read more

We stumbled upon this gem when roaming the streets of Florence. When there's a giant line outside of a restaurant, it must say something about its quality, espeically when the line is filled with locals. This little spot close to the Museo Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi, is the perfect lunch spot for those on the go, or looking to picnic in the piazza close by. For sandwiches made to order, under 4 Euro, it's a steal! We got the soft goat cheese with sundried tomato and arugula, caprese and the truffle pecarino with arugula sandwiches. All were great! Highly recommend poppin' by this place while in Florence. read more

Love the bread here! Sandwiches are good and the right price (currently 2.50€) and then 1€ for a glass of wine. No place to sit, just get your sandwich & wine & stand on the street...enjoy! They have these shelves just on either side of the door for your glass of wine. Perfecto. Often a long line, but they do tend to go quickly. The sandwich is typically made before you can pay...super fast & great sandwich for the price! read more

So glad this place was recommended to us by a friend because it was the perfect place to go for lunch! The sandwiches are so filling and so delicious. We went there every day for lunch while we were visiting Florence. read more

I 2 Fratellini - Prosciutto, soft cheese, and arugula - Sandwiches Near Me - Florence, FI

For the area the price is fair. The food is of good quality, and fresh with a good flavor, but only average for Italy. However, there is a large amount of bread and only a few dabs of whatever topping you choose. If you come here get a strongly flavored topping like anchovies, otherwise you may end up throwing out three quarters of the bread, which is decent, but it's just average Italian quality white bread. Considering the miserly toppings portion this place ends up being not so great a value after all. It's definitely not worth standing in line for. Ultimately it's a tourist trap with overpriced, slightly above average food. I didn't try the wine but it seemed to be on the pricey side, considering the pour. read more

This place was recommended by our B&B owner, and wow what a find! They are constantly busy, but it hardly takes any time at all to get your food. For 2 Euros a piece, you can get 1 of 20 odd sandwiches on a fresh baked roll. I had the spicy salami with goat cheese and my friend had a caprese sandwich. I might have been able to eat two if I really tried, but with a cheap glass of wine too (2-3 euros), it was the perfect bite to eat. We came back the next day, and I could've eaten there every day of my trip since it wasn't going to get any better. The name, "two little brothers", makes sense when you see that's how many people fit behind the counter in this joint. The efficiency of this business is astounding. What a business model! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. Went twice in two days. The sandwiches are delicious, the service was amazing and I'll definitely be back to this stand when back in Florence. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Located a few blocks from the duomo and the Uffizi, it is a tiny hole in the wall establishment. Looking back, one of my fondest memories as a student abroad in this beautiful city was ordering a ham/ mozzarella panini with house wine and enjoying it under my umbrella realizing how peaceful Florence is without its tourists. The two guys that work this place are magical. Its amazing how fast and efficient they are with handling their clientele. I mean, theres hardly enough standing room in the booth they are working at. (Someone really need to get them stools so that they can rest their feet while working :)) During lunch hour, the line to this place gets LONG. Saying that theres as many people in line as there are for the uffizi or academia is over reacting, but for a tiny panini joint, this place should be recognized as a landmark. In addition to the great and quick service, I2fratellini attracts so many people because of their price point. For 2.50 euros, you get a hearty fresh sandwich, for an additional 2 euros or so, you get house wine in a glass. People usually eat right in front of the booth where theres shelves to put your wine as you're chatting away with your friends and enjoying you panini. I love everything about this place!!! Would come here everyday if I could! read more

My girlfriend and I traveled throughout Italy for 2 weeks and I mean this when I say it, but this was the best thing we ate on the entire trip. For starters, the price of 4 euro cannot be beat. The bread was just as delicious as the stuff packed inside. Over the course of three days in Florence, we must have had almost a dozen sandwiches, trying multiple selections. It was so good in fact, that on my girlfriends 30th birthday, instead of going out to a restaurant to celebrate, we collected a handful of these sandwiches, a bottle of wine and made our way over to the Piazzale Michelangelo for an incredible view of the city. My only complaint is that they are too far away. Please open a store in New York. Grazie! read more

Stopped here for a quick bite while strolling around Florence. I had a fine little sandwich (goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes). The line was short, the sandwich was tasty, and it was just 3 euro! If you are looking a quick snack this is a great place to check out. read more

This place was just around the corner from the apartment we rented. We received a recommendation to try it last year and didn't get around to it. Having received another recommendation this year we tried it. It was easy to find: There's usually a line. But not to worry - it moves fast. I'm not sure if I should give it four stars or five. The sandwiches are simple and quick; there's no unique recipe or tremendous chef skill here. But the bread (which you must eat right away - it is not very good an hour later) is amazing and the rest of the ingredients are perfect. If you're walking around and you want a quick bite while you keep walking around, this is the place for you. I think we stopped here three times on this year's trip, one time it wasn't even meal time - it was just because we were walking by and could not resist. Oh, and the wine. Yes, they have a great variety of wine. But I don't think that's what makes it special. After all, in Florence, I think McDonalds is about the only place that doesn't have a good wine list (actually, I haven't checked there - maybe they do). Five stars is a no-brainer as long as you're not comparing it to a restaurant with a real menu and a place to sit. This is fast-food Florence style. read more

This place has been around for years and is constantly busy. You can grab a nice cheap wine here too. The sandwiches are cheap and tasty

A MUST VISIT when in Florence! We arrived mid afternoon in Florence and were starving. Our concierge recommended this place, and it was perfect. My 10 year old son remembered that Rick Steves featured this spot on one of his Florence videos! Many sandwich options, all delicious, and the price is right. Stood in the street eating and people watched. Truly a hole in the wall that is not to be missed. We liked it so much we ate there twice, and we were only in Florence for three days! read more

Wow!!! The bread here is the best I've eaten in Italy! Fresh, warm, buttery, crispy, moist in the middle, PERFECT!! And only $3 for a sandwich?!! The prosciutto and pecorino is AMAZING!! Get the Grande cup of house wine for 3e, you won't regret it, the white wine is sweet and floury, the red is smooth and has a great flavor depth! read more

A little hole-in-the-wall about a couple blocks away from the Duomo and several other touristy spots, so perfect location! About 20 different selections of sandwiches. We had the porchetta and the lard sandwich. Super tasty in such a simple little sandwich! Grab a sandwich, a glass of wine even, and sit on the sidewalk for this delicious cheap-eats (approx 3 Euros/sandwich). It was so difficult to find, but so worth it! read more

Loved this sandwich stand. Daughters both got ham and mozzarella. I got ham and goat cheese. Delicious. Super friendly owners. Italian beer and eating on curb of street. Loved our first Italian lunch. Ham is prosciutto. Lovely. read more

This place was right by my apartment when I lived in Firenze, and I got lunch here almost everyday. Incredibly inexpensive for some incredible food! The owners are also incredibly friendly and consistently put up with my ill-accented Italian every day. The line can get really long but they are incredibly speedy. Obviously there is no seating, so it's a great place to grab something and go. The sandwiches are easy to eat on the move. read more

Yummy and cheap! Great place to stop for a sandwich while walking around. We paid only $8 for two sandwiches and two waters. My husband got the truffle ham I think and it was great. I got the salami with fennel and soft cheese. So good. Their bread is perfectly cooked. It's a hard roll that isn't too hard - like the ones that hurt your mouth. Not like that. Still soft on the inside but crunchy on the outside. Very good. Wish we had more time in Firenzé to eat here more and have a super easy and cheap lunch. We didn't get wine cuz we were on the run but a glass is like 1.5 or something. So cheap. Hit it up. Your tastebuds and wallet will thank you. read more

What is fantastic about I 2 Fratellini is in 14 years that I have lived in Florence they continue to be catering to a local market. Fresh warm panini with delicious flavours and a great wine selection for their 'vino da tavola' chianti to a classico reserve or you can even enjoy a Rosso or Brunello di Montalcino. Love them and love their panini number 1 in the top 3 panino stores in the historical centre read more

Saying they serve good cheap sandwiches here doesn't do it justice. This is superb street food that is Italian at it's finest. They use a few high-quality ingredients in perfect balance in their panini. The result is an absolute joy. I walked across town just to get another. Highly recommended. You'll wait in line with Florentines of all walks of life and tourists to get a panini. The fact that the locals eat here should tell you something. The service is fast so don't worry if there's a long line. read more

You won't find anything like this anywhere else! The smallest sandwich place I've ever seen...just enough space to make delicious sandwiches. I recommend washing your sandwich down with a glass of wine. Sometime there is a queue, but your patience will be rewarded. read more

Delish! I created my own - got the roast pork panini with fresh mozzarella, arugula and the green sauce. Yum and great price.

My new favorite! The prosciutto and caprino sandwich was fantastic. There will always be a line but it isn't a long wait really. Sometimes there wont be a line at all, depending on the time of day. Locals usually frequent this hole in the wall but its very close to the Duomo so there will be tourists. Wine and sodas are available. The menu is in English on their website and on the door. Inexpensive (€2.50-3.50) a sandwich and fresh ingredients. Not any outdoor seating, most people just sit on the side walk since its more of a side street location. read more

Great sandwiches. When the other reviewer says it's small, it's only small in the sense that it contains only a few ingredients (typical of Europe) or small in size if your standard size is a submarine sandwich. It seemed a standard size to me. Got the porchetta and the prosciutto with truffle cream. Both were good. I personally thought the porchetta in Rome was better, but this was good too and the wife liked this better. I am the odd ball in that I don't usually like truffles, but this cream was not over powering and worked fine. Also had a glass of wine in a tiny glass. Would consider getting it again. read more

Delicious and cheap sandwiches! order from the window, get a small glass of wine, and enjoy your sandwich on the sidewalk with everyone else. The bread is hot and delicious. definitely worth a visit! read more

A perfect sandwich at 3 euros! Definitely stop by here and grab a snack/lunch to go while you wander the cobblestone streets and piazzas of Firenze. I got the #1 - prosciutto + goat cheese + arugula (they call it "wild lettuce" in the English menu) on a fresh, crusty roll. The simple combination was perfect. Nothing else to say except I wish we stopped here at least one more time during our stay! read more

We were hungry after our train ride from Milan and wanted to find something tasty and cheap. "Impossible!" we thought..."Possible!" said Fratellini paninos. OK I lied about that last part but it's true, they were indeed tasty and cheap (€2,50). I ordered the "fresh sausage" not realizing it was THAT fresh (as in uncooked). It must have been salted/cured in some way because it tasted good and I didn't get sick. Friendly service from the guys behind the counter and the dude who hands out the menus and keeps track of the line. One star off for the uneven fillings-to-bread ratio. Other than that, it's worth a visit if you're in this area. read more

After eating about 30 sandwiches here, I'm finally ready to review it. Of all the yummy sandwiches in Florence, this has to be my favorite. Between the bread, the simple ingredients, the price, and they SPEED in which they make the sandwiches, this place definitely deserves 5 stars. Don't expect an over the top sandwich stuffed to the brim: each sandwich has 2 or 3 ingredients tops, but man are they good and fresh. I've watched these guys make a sandwich in 10 seconds flat... But if you're in a rush don't go around noon because you'll be faced with a huge line! If you're touring and only here for a little while though, wait anyway. Another thing I love about this place is the small glasses of wine you can order for €1 or €1.50. Great to sip with your sandwich on the side walk. My favorite thing to order is the mortadella e melanzane panino with a small glass of Lambrusco! Yum :) read more
