Panini Toscani is right near the Piazza del Duomo, so it's a great place for a bite before (or after) your climb up the duomo! The staff here are helpful and very nice. You get to try their offered cheeses and meats of the day with a short explanation of each, so you get a feel for what to order on your panini :) that little experience was delightful, unique and very helpful for me. They also offer 4-5 types of bread, even multigrain and whole wheat ( if you want a healthier option). The focaccia was absolutely buttery and crisp, yet soft. It was amazing. There are several veggies to add into your unique panini creation including sun dried tomatoes, arugula, sweet red peppers, grilled eggplants, just to name a few. We orders 2 panini and the total was 10 euro. One of the cheapest and most delicious lunches we have had during our time in Venice and Florence both. Very glad we tried this place! read more

Most delicious panini ever! We were graciously given a tutorial sampler at the counter, to help us decide what to order. The olive bread and walnut bread were each fantastic! Service is very nice and friendly. The scenery ( Duomo directly ahead) can't be beat. Thanks for a solid review Yelp! read more

It's been about 3 months since I went here and I still think about it frequently!!! I recommend it to all my friends visiting Florence. The line was long but moved quickly and I absolutely loved that they let you taste everything prior to ordering. The panini was one of the best I've ever had and tasted so fresh!! I'm a vegetarian so for me it was all about the cheese but my meat-eating friends loved theirs just as much! Highly, highly recommend! read more

Food: 4/5- Service: 5/5 Price: 4/5 This shop has a diverse selections of meats and cheeses that stay true to the basics. However what truly sets this location apart is the service they provide to their customers. After initially walking in they allowed us to taste the varieties of meats and cheeses, and described where each item was from and how it is made. This is helpful for the unaware tourist who may not be familiar with the different options. The toppings were good and had several to select from, however compared to other shops lacked sauces which I personally enjoy on a panino. Overall great quality ingredients, and service for the price of 5 euro. read more

Best sandwiches in Tuscany! Don't settle for the sandwiches under glass or in the window. At Panini Toscani, you start inside, where you sample 4 different kinds of cheeses. Then you sample 4 different kinds of meats. After that they have 6 or so kinds of fresh breads to choose from. (We both picked the olive bread which was amazing!) So you pick your meat, cheese, bread and move down the line. They offer any 3 vegetables: sun dried tomatoes, pickled peppers, artichoke, eggplant, mushrooms, grilled zucchini, greens. When your sandwich is complete, it goes into the panini press. All this adds up to one incredible sandwich! Oh-forgot to say-I'm usually not a big sandwich fan! read more

AMAZING! I cannot day enough about the abundance of flavors from this Panini. The moment you walk in you know this will be good. First you taste the meats and cheese to select your specific want then your bread. 10 days my girlfriend and I spent in Italy and our Panini was one of the most amazing meals we had. read more

Panini Toscani - Sandwiches Near Me - Florence, FI

This might be the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. The guy working the line let us try all the meats and cheeses so we could pick what we wanted on our panini. Amazing bread. Awesome, fresh ingredients. I was in heaven. You can enjoy your sandwich with a cheap glass of wine too. It's small, so there aren't a lot of tables, but it's right by the Duomo, so you can take it outside and eat on the steps. My wife and I still talk about this little place when we reminisce about our trip to Italy. read more

Friendly staff who let you taste the different types of cheeses and meats before constructing your panini. This along with the different options of toppings and spreads you get to choose from, make this panini shop stand above the rest. read more

I am not a big reviewer but I have to give a shout out to this little panini shop. It's right next to Doumo and a great quick lunch stop. If it's your first visit the staff is super helpful and friendly. They let you taste test all the meats and cheeses and honestly that was the best part of the experience. Highly recommended!!! read more

Unique experience with this shop. The owner takes time to educate you on the available options of cheese and bread. You can even do a taste test. Then you they make the sandwich in front of you with what you want to have - once the bread runs out, he closes the shop. Its hard to believe that this place is near such a large attraction and is so personalized. Definitely recommend this place and you have plenty of options if you are a vegetarian. read more

Excellent panini !! They let u try all the cheeses and meats with an explanation each before you choose your options. Very friendly staff and beautiful setting behind the Duomo. Definitely make this your lunch stop!! read more

Unbelievable sandwiches. They have you taste four different cheeses and four different meats prior to you choosing which one of each you would like on your sandwich, followed by your choice of five different breads. My favorite was the ciabatta. They make the sandwiches in front of you where you decide whether you would like arugula, tomatoes, roasted red bell peppers, diced artichoke hearts in olive oil, among other things. The cheeses and meats were unsurpassed, and with the breads, it made the best sandwich. There's always a line, but it is well worth it. read more

Deliciouso panini. Soft bread and high quality ingredients. Yes they give you a tasting before you order which was fun and unexpected. Highly recommend!! read more

Delicious panini for only €5. You head into the back of the shop and you get samples of the meats (prosciutto, salami, etc) and cheeses (soft and hard) available for your panini. Then you choose your bread. Next come the toppings. There are several to choose from: sun dried tomatoes, arugula, tomato slices, olives, red peppers, etc. You get to pick a few of the toppings for your panini. The panini is then toasted for a few minutes. They serve glasses of wine, bottled beer, soft drinks, etc. The are a couple of tall tables inside and some outdoor seating right next to the Duomo. We visited the shop twice during our trip. Delicious both times! read more

They are so nice here and the food is fantastic. You get to pick your combination of cheese, bread, meat, and various tapenade-esque toppings. We stopped here for a glass of wine outside the Duomo and upon seeing the delicious looking panini, we decided to return the next day for lunch. With a bottle of wine, 2 panini and some water, we spent 40€, much better price than anything else around here! read more

This is the best panini I have ever tried in my entire life. I studied abroad two years ago and I still have dreams of this place wishing that I was pack. I absolutely love the food there and it is a fun experience. I went everyday that I could.. if the line is long IT IS WORTH IT!!! I can't wait to be back some day because this place is my favorite food place in the world. Brought many of my friends here and they all agreed. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Ever since I left Florence, I've been craving one their sandwiches. My lord was it amazing. The guy behind the counter is very friendly and lets you sample all the meats and cheeses before you select your sandwich. Very helpful and friendly staff. 100% recommend. read more

Amazing place! You get a chance to try your ingredients first and then build your perfect sandwich!

Me and my friend were talking sandwiches, as friends do in 2020. Suddenly I had the most pleasant flashback to August 2019, before the virus knocked out international travel. I rambled long after that friend probably was interested, about how amazing this place was, they allowed me to sample the meat and cheese selection, the peppers were delightful. After spending nearly 30 minutes on google trying to find the home of the best sandwich I've had in all my days, I found you guys. And all I can say is, thank you and great job. read more

This place was absolutely delicious!! I wish we had found sooner! I really loved that the owner took time to explain the meats and cheeses ,and of course let us sample! All the ingredients were fresh and from Toscana. My sandwich was super yummy! I had soft bread, but they have several different breads to pick from. Once my sandwich was made I added garlic, tomato, arugula, and zucchini. Then the sandwich was toasted for about 3-5 minutes. The staff was very friendly and polite! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a really great panini!! We absolutely loved it!!!!Thanks for the amazing experience!

I rarely give 5 star reviews, but this place earns it through and through. It starts with the employees giving you samples of 4 types of cheese and 3 types of meat to choose from, and they explain where each comes from in Italy. There are also 7 different types of bread. You choose a meat and a cheese, and then select from an array of other toppings-- fresh or sun dried tomatoes, greens, peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and even eggplant, all marinated in delicious spices and vinegars. They warm it up for you and serve it to-go, all for €6. So it's DEFINITELY worth it! You can take it out and eat in front of the beautiful Duomo as well. Great location, great price, great experience, and above all, great taste. I highly recommend this little panini shop (it's probably the best one I've had in Florence.) read more

This is really one the best places I have eaten at. The ingredients are amazing and fresh and the end product is second to none. I would highly recommend. read more

Amazing. They only allow about 5 people in at a time so you can "test" the cheeses and meats. You get to taste before you choose your sandwich. So delicious and fresh! Great with wine or a peroni! Wish I could have this place every week! read more

The line was a bit long but it was well worth the wait. The owner is charming and informative. The owner explains all the meats and cheeses, then let's you try them before making your sandwich (they all tasted amazing btw). For only 6 euros you get an amazing meal and its location makes it a perfect spot to eat after visiting the museums. read more

Best lunch in Italy so far. After 5 days of food not living up to the hype, Panini Toscani delivered. We arrived for a late lunch around 3:30, and the service was amazing. The staff was Super friendly! They have you sample each cheese and meat before they make your panini. They accommodated my wife's dietary restrictions and made a meat and cheese platter for her. The cheese and meats were fresh and delicious, as was the bread. read more

Best panini I've ever had! This is a MUST in Florence. Get it on the focaccia bread! Absolutely delicious!

Great spot for a quick panini before the duomo. Great service, every patron gets a tasting of cheese and meat before they order. The panini vegetables are fresh and full of flavor. Really impressive little spot, A+ read more

This place is a must if you are in the area. I typically don't go for tourist traps near monuments but this place is great. The sampling of meats and cheeses prior to choosing what will go on your panini is the best thing about this place. The selection is delicious and you get info on when the food comes from and how long it is aged. The staff are very friendly and the wine is good. It's more expensive than some vinaio shops but well worth it. read more

If it were possible to give 10 stars out of 5 I would. This place is amazing for not only the panini but for the service. It starts with the sampling of all their meat and cheese so you choose the right flavors for you. Then add the 3 vegetables for the top then toast. As if that weren't great enough you can get a glass of Brunello for €8. The price was more than right and we gave the servers a huge tip. Go there if you are in florence and spare yourself the trouble of a tourist trap. read more
