Trippaio del Porcellino’s panino con lampredotto earns rapturous praise for its tender, savory offal and tangy salsa verde, served with a convivial, street-side warmth that feels like Florence’s soul on a plate.
“This is a real must in Florence — the lampredotto sandwich. It's full of salsa verde, nice and salty, and the bread is soaked — that's the secret move. After the lampredotto, you're done.”
“The bread here makes all the difference — it's what sets this place apart. The lampredotto is very, very good, and the green sauce is great too. I almost didn't taste the spicy sauce, but it's well seasoned. The consistency of the lampredotto is right. We paid 6.50 euros for the sandwich and a glass of wine, totally worth it.”
