Had to try lampredotto (tripe sandwich) at least once while in Florence and this apparently is one…read moreof THE places to do so. 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.

Food was great! Really good value. I didnt know what to expect when ordering the lampredotto but I…read moreended up really enjoying it. Coming back for seconds.

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!

This is tripe sandwich, I was skeptical but honestly it was delicious. It's tucked in a little corner of the Mercato Nouvo. He sells wine too. Doesn't matter the time. Like 5 items on the menu. It's a cart, not a brick and mortar place. You're eating next to the shoppers, on your feet. But it was a great experience.

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

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).

A paper cone filled with these delicious morsels will cost you 5 euros, and a side of potatoes is 3. We've tried the shrimp as well, but they come with their shells (and heads) still intact, and I personally prefer just the meat fried on its own. The location itself is small and intimate, but has a great outdoor patio or the possibility of Da Portare Via and eating in Piazza Giacomo Matteotti. You shouldn't come here expecting an elegant atmosphere or even wait service. If you want some quick delicious, fried goodies packed up in paper cones, you've found your home. My 5-star approval is solely on the calamari, it is one of the best I have ever had.
