1 p.m. Pick a panino
Whatever the fillings — prosciutto, burrata, truffles, tripe, lardo or lampredotto — the panino is the pre-eminent Florentine pick for a quick lunch. (Just please don’t eat one on the streets, per city ordinance.) Tucked away on a small piazza in the Oltrarno, Schiaccia Passera is a new shop that opened last year with ample seating and made-to-order sandwiches on fresh, house-baked schiacciata, Tuscany’s thinner, chewier version of focaccia. Try La Passera, with Tuscan salame, pecorino and porcini cream (€7), or the vegetarian La Chiavi, with sun-dried tomatoes, baby artichokes, mushrooms and arugula (€6), paired with a citrusy house spritz (€6).
