I have to issue an update. It is open! Stopped by on a Monday and they were open. My daughter and I both had the traditional sandwich and they were amazing! Definitely worth finding this little walk up window of a place.

Oh my gosh, my sandwich from here was heavenly. Super simple- I just got prosciutto, mozzarella, and tomato- but everything was so fresh and flavorful. The bread had such a soft and buttery consistency that I feel like you don't always get with paninis. The worker obviously knew I was a tourist but still conversed with me in Italian, which I always appreciate. I went at noon on a Thursday in December and was the only one there. I guess I got lucky by going off season! Even if there is a wait for you- I say it's worth trying anyway!

Came here on our last day in Florence and we didn't realize how close it was to our hotel! We walk up to the window and the gentleman was super helpful with giving us suggestions of what to order. We both ordered sandwiches with schiacciata bread and it was delicious! We waited across the street and then out names were called to pick up our order. There wasn't any seating available which was fine and we ended u p just eating across the street where we were waiting. I still think about this sandwich and how good it was!

This place in my opinion is not worth the hype. The sandwiches were tasty, but it wasn't worth the long lines and slow service. It was a cute place, but I think there are potentially better sandwich places in Florence.

Easily the best panini I had when visiting Italy. It was simple yet executed so well. I loved their fluffy bread and enjoyed their truffle spread I got on my panini. Most people get their paninis to-go since there's very limited seating. They're well wrapped to be eating on the go! For such a small space, it's well decorated. Depending on what season and time you go, be prepared to wait. I went in the middle of the summer (aka tourist season) around 3pm (15:00) and still had to wait an around 30-45 minutes. It was understandable since there were only two people working and not sure if I'd stand in line for this long again. You have to try them at least once!

Literally my favorite sandwich shop in Firenze. I heard amazing reviews about SandwiChic through TikTok, and I had to give it a try. There are so many different options for sandwiches, with a variety of meats, cheeses, and spreads, and the first time that I went, I was definitely struggling to choose a sandwich, but the employees were so helpful in explaining their menu to me. There is also a student discount option, which allows you to get a sandwich and a drink at a discounted price, but a disclaimer is that not all sandwiches qualify for that discount. The restaurant also doesn't have any seating (at least when I went), so be prepared to take your sandwich to-go!

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Staff is so nice and friendly. They offer student meals and discounts. For my first time, the owner had given me recommendations I had to try, and it did not disappoint. This place is usually fairly busy with limited seating-- a little on the smaller side so I would take it to-go. Very solid sandwich that I thoroughly enjoyed. From the conversations I've heard, it's a Florence favorite for sure! I went back for a second time within two days because it was so good.

Wish I could have their sandwiches everyday. This is a gem of a place!! Best sandwich I had all trip. Found myself here after exploring a bit outside of Mercato Centrale. There were only a few people in line and the wait went quickly. Their bread is so perfect. Crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. The menu is all Italian but you can more or less guess what is inside. The employees are nice and can help decide what to order. Limited seating inside so it's mostly for take out.

Mija did a day trip to Florence during her study abroad program, and raved about this sandwich shop. So when we stayed in Florence on the latter part of the trip, we had to hit this place. I had two sandwiches: One salumi & one prosciutto. The first thing I noticed was the bread was very special. I did some research and found that schiacciata bread is made w/o salt. Back in the day, Tuscany did not want to pay the high taxes on salt, so they made their bread w/o salt. Apparently the yeast proofs more effectively, leading to a fluffy interior & chewy exterior. All I know is that combined w/ high quality meat, it makes awesome sandwiches. I was stuffed on €10 of meat only sandwiches, vs here in the States you would have a lot of produce on your $10 sandwich. Regarding the ambiance, its take away only. This is Italian grab and go food. The sandwiches are numbered so you can order quickly, and they are made fast. We found a shady square nearby, and enjoyed our sandwiches while people watching. When you are in Florence, do yourself a favor and stop by Sandwichic. You will really see why Tuscans rave about their schiacciata bread.
