Lunch:
Get a great sandwich at the place that is popular with locals and tourists: All'antico Vinaio located on the Via de'Neri 65R (hrs: 10:00-22:00). They make huge sandwiches with a local flat bread called "schiacciata" (somewhat like focaccia), with ingredients like ham with truffle cream or artichoke cream. The all-time favourite sandwich to order is the La Favolosa (trans. - "Fabulous") which consists of Florentine salami, pecorino cheese, artichoke cream and roasted eggplant. Their "summer sandwich" has mozzarella, basil leaves, stracchino, pistachio, pistachio cream and sun dried tomatoes on a focaccia bread.

The other place to try is Fratellini which also has great sandwiches. Tuna, capers and salsa verde on a
ciabatta bun, although on the video I saw the person said it tasted salty!
