The story
Joe Bastianich’s JB Burger brings classic American-style smash burgers to Rozzano’s Fiordaliso shopping center, promising a slick, Instagrammable setting. Riccardo Dose highlighted the variety, from the New York Cheeseburger to plant-based options, plus creative sides like loaded nuggets and loaded fries, calling it a modern take on fast food.
But experiences vary. In Florence, Giovanni Fois found single-patty burgers dry and unbalanced on first visit, with limp fries. A second visit with double patties turned things around: the burgers became “balanced, juicy, and tasty,” and the fries improved dramatically. Secondo Luca praised the well-smashed meat but noted the excessive sauce and slightly inferior bun. The consensus? Stick with double patties for the full experience.

Reviewers rave about the Sloppy Joe, praising its messy, savory perfection. The overall vibe is unpretentious, hearty comfort food done right.
“This is the Crispy Bacon Burger with chicken. The chicken is different from the usual, really good. The real bacon inside makes the difference. I'm sorry to say it, but the real bacon is what sets it apart. I might even like this more than the New York one.”
“I had it before with sauce, there was too much sauce. This time I decided to take it without. I preferred it without, absolutely. Would I come back to eat it again? Honestly, no.”

Crispy Bacon Burger
This is the Crispy Bacon Burger with chicken. The chicken is different from the usual, really good. The real bacon inside makes the difference. I'm sorry to say it, but the real bacon is what sets it apart. I might even like this more than the New York one.
Sloppy Joe
This is the special Sloppy Joe, it won't last forever. It's a very particular sandwich. The bread is like a reverse toast, smashed. It has a mix of meat and chicken, and there's a ragù on top. It's a beast. The mix of everything is delicious. For originality and taste, it goes to first place. It's really good, never seen anything like it honestly.
- Nuggets
Loaded Fries
These are loaded fries with ragù on top. The sauce is really tasty. I like that the fries get a bit soft from the sauce, they become even better. It reminds me of the sauce they put on mac and cheese. This is the best side dish for me.
JB Burger is Joe Bastianich's new fast-food format in Florence. The first visit was disappointing: single patty burgers were dry and unbalanced, fries were limp. A second visit with double patties completely changed my mind: the burgers became balanced, juicy, and tasty. The fries were also much better. Overall, a mixed experience but worth trying, especially the double patty versions.

Loaded Fries con Cheddar
These loaded fries have little bacon, little cheddar. A lot of potato. They're a bit limp. The bacon is good, but the fries themselves don't taste of anything. They were fried a while ago, not crunchy anymore. The sauce is still very good though.
Sloppy Joe Fries
The fries are the same as the loaded ones, a bit limp and not very flavorful. But the ragù on top is super tasty. It tastes like an Italian ragù, like a grandmother made it. With the ragù I'd buy these fries.
- Cheeseburger
Sloppy Joe (Single)
This one is really good. The sauce is salty, very salty. There's not as much ragù as I expected, but it's tasty. I like smash burgers when they're salty, that's what makes them good. The bread is still a bit dry, but the meat and the creaminess balance it out. I'd rate this way higher than the classic.
JB Burger has a cool, minimalist vibe and well-smashed meat, but the excessive sauce and slightly inferior bun make it less balanced than Joe's American.

Single New York
The meat seems to have a different texture, slightly more savory than the previous one. Definitely well smashed. It's extremely more saucy. The amount of meat compared to the bun balance seems a bit more lacking than the other. But flavor-wise this one maybe suits my personal taste more. The bun is different, I prefer the other one. This one gives me the idea of a bread that sticks to your teeth. Overall the meat is smashed great, it remains the protagonist. The bun feels strange, this very pronounced yellow color inside, almost greenish.

Crispy Bacon Burger
I had it before with sauce, there was too much sauce. This time I decided to take it without. I preferred it without, absolutely. Would I come back to eat it again? Honestly, no.
