Quotes
"Panini Toscani is one of the more unique sandwich shops in Florence because it's the only sandwich shop that pans out endless samples before you even order."
"You can pretty much try every single meat and cheese they have in the shop, and then you walk up to the bread section, you pick the type of bread you want, and the meat as the base, and then you go over to all the toppings and you point out exactly what you want, they prepare it, and this is another factor that makes that Toscani unique is they toast their sandwiches individually."
"The ciabatta is such a nice switch up, and the toast and crunch on this is so important."
"The pecorino cheese is so good, and then the spicy peppers and the zucchini in there is such a nice touch."
"You would think a sandwich shop this close to the Duomo is just a tourist trap, but iToscani is using really good ingredients, and their bread is genuinely phenomenal."
Our Reflection
