Sausage, Prociutto, Salame – Oh My!

When people get to Florence, I often hear them first talk about Gelato. "Where can I find the best gelato?" "How many times a day am I allowed to eat gelato?" "What kind of gelato do I want today?"


These are all questions that I apply daily to the panini. Panini = sandwiches. In my mind panini = happiness. With all sorts of options to choose from, and trattorias scattered throughout the city, finding a good panini isn't hard. But if you have any concerns, ApartmentsFlorence.it has some suggestions of our favorite spots in town to mangiare! 

Lampredotto - The ultimate Florentine panino

I'll tell you what I know - it's made with the third stomach of the cow and it's the classic poor man's sandwich in Florence. The best place to get it is from one of the street carts found throughout the city center. I'll tell you what I don't know - what it tastes like. I'm fascinated by the thing, and honestly it smells pretty good, but I haven't had the guts to stomach it yet.
