Reviewers rave about the Schiacciata Firenze, calling it a must-order. The overall vibe is warm and celebratory, with simple, high-quality ingredients shining in every bite.
“We asked the staff which schiacciata they recommended, and they pointed us to the Firenze with sbriciolona, pecorino Toscano, and sautéed black kale. The bread is crispy and oily, and the sbriciolona — a large salame seasoned with wild fennel — crumbles beautifully. The fennel flavor is amazing. It's a hearty, satisfying sandwich, way better than the overpriced pasta we had earlier. For €10, it's totally worth it.”
