In Florence, the schiacciata is more than just a snack—it’s a slice of history. This beloved Tuscan version of focaccia, known for its crispy crust and tender interior, has made All’ Antico Vinaio, near Piazza della Signoria, a must-visit for food lovers. Renowned as one of Florence’s best sandwich spots, the shop draws eager visitors from all over, all ready to brave the long lines in anticipation of a memorable meal.
The “Favolosa”: A Masterpiece of Flavors
One of the top choices on the menu is the “Favolosa.” Made with schiacciata bread, it’s a flavor-packed delight filled with sbrisciolona fennel salami, creamy pecorino, grilled and lightly spicy eggplant, and a rich artichoke spread. The combination of these ingredients creates a perfect balance of textures and tastes, delivering a true Florentine experience in every bite.
Enjoying Florence, One Bite at a Time
After savoring the “Favolosa,” I strolled down to the Arno River near Ponte Vecchio, where the beauty of Florence served as the perfect backdrop for this unforgettable sandwich. The taste, the view, and the vibrant energy of the city made the wait well worth it.
