Chiosco Del Lampredotto - Firenze

If you like Mexican menudo , you can handle the tripe sandwich! I thought lampredotto was cow uterus, but I had to try that too after hearing about it from Andrew Zimmer of Bizarre Foods TV show. I 'm still not sure what part of the cow it is. Hey, I 'd have either one again. I ordered in my very basic Italian, and the couple working at the kiosk were patient and polite although very busy fulfilling all the other orders while I sat at the side of their food kiosk, waiting for the tripe to finish steaming. They apparently aren 't open on Sundays, so I was lucky to find them at noon on a weekday. I smothered both sandwiches in optional red Sri Raka Thai hot sauce just like they have in the USA. Not a bad idea if you are a little bit chicken, to try, but even without it, I 'd have liked the organ sandwiches and now I 'm kinda craving those weird sandwiches on crusty white loaves, which are so traditionally Florentine! The atmosphere was fun, authentic and laid back...just hungry Italians awaiting their traditional quick lunch treats while passers-by went on about daily city life in a tiny but very ancient square very near Dante 's house and museum...how great a memory was that!. I saved the lampredotto sandwich in foil for the late afternoon flight back to London. Yummy! Better than anything Brit Airways could have thought up to serve!

Great sandwich, very kind staff. Try absolutely!

Blinked by five stars, but the kindness and sympathy of the boy who served me deserve 7!

We had a really bad experience eating here! It was impossible to eat my tripe Sandwich- the bread wasnt eatable, and it was soaked in a tastless sauce.

We came here for a snack/quick lunch, and we enjoyed the sandwich. I would not eat it too often, as the meat was a little chewy. However at €4 a sandwich, it is not too expensive. We went to a local supermarket to get a drink, and it would have been almost the same cost to buy it at the stand with the food €6). It was recommend at by Lonely Planet, and I guess as authentic Tuscan sandwich, it was worth the visit.
