The story
At this no-frills fast-food stand in Firenze’s Porta Romana square, the classic street-food staple gets a distinctively crunchy, salty spin. Il Trippaio di Porta Romana (★4.6) serves only the Panino con Lampredotto, a traditional Florentine sandwich that here offers a noticeably different texture and flavor profile from the city’s softer versions.
"YouTuber Sentieri Golosi describes the lampredotto as 'crunchier, saltier… with a pickled note from capers'—a take they call different but interesting. While not as tender as other preparations, this rendition brings a lively, briny contrast that stands out among Firenze’s iconic street-food options. A local spot worth seeking for a bolder bite."

Reviewers rave about Il Trippaio di Porta Romana’s Panino con lampredotto, a succulent, savory triumph of Florentine street food. The overall vibe is warm, rustic, and unpretentiously authentic.
“The bread is quite crunchy and a little salty overall. The lampredotto is a bit different here — I smell something pickled, maybe capers in vinegar that give a little flavor. The lampredotto is more resistant to the bite compared to the others we ate before. We paid 7 euros for a lampredotto sandwich, a glass of wine, and a bottle of water.”
