'l Trippaio di San Frediano

Great sandwiches! We had the tribe sandwich and it was delicious, slightly spicy but not overpowering. There isn’t much of an atmosphere since it is a place where people do to go or get their sandwich, eat it and leave but we had an amazing experience eating something local and not overpriced.

We went to this sandwich stand once we arrived to Florence. We had no idea what Lampredotto was at the time but we are so glad we tried it and so glad we tried it here. This was the best sandwich we had in Florence (and yes we tried the famous spots as well and this was much much better!) Great quality, great service and great prices. If you are wondering what to try, just order the first item on the menu, that's what they're known for and it won't dissapoint!

I' ve tried the panino con lampredotto and salsa verde picante it was delicious and spicy, the prices are cheap and the service was kind and fast. Great place to try a traditional dish from Florence at great price.

AMAZING!!! A must visit and eat at while in Florence! Plus Simone and his sister are sooo sweet and welcoming and great cooks!!!!

Real street food. There tourist, but the majority are local people. Do not expect fancy trappings, but get real LAMPREDOTTO and other similar specialties

Awesome sandwiches at great prices. The pasta was prepackaged and just okay so would recommend sticking to just the sandwiches or plates. Just wish their hours were consistent with the hours posted on their stand. Came around 5pm on two separate weekdays but they were closed.

Didn’t think I like tripe until I have been here

A real lampredotto experience

This cart was totally a hidden gem and find for my trip in Italy!! This cart made my trip so much more memorable!! As the hubby and I were making our way towards the farmers market we saw a bunch of people crowd around this little food cart. Being a curious bee I couldn't help but go up to it and check out what all the commotion was about. Boy, was I glad the one time in my life for being a curious bee. We saw people eating off of this plastic tray and it was just meat and bread. The smell was delicious! I knew that we had to wait our turn and get our hands on some. what was it? bollito also known as boiled beef. it comes with parsley sauce and chili for 4.50 euros. if you don't eat super spicy i would ask them to put less chili or remove some. it will make you break into a sweat and numb your tongue. it was worth every penny! the cart is ran by a husband and wife team. it was so good my hubby and i kept thinking of it and decided to come back the next day! i totally recommend coming here and trying the bollito!!! you won't be disappointed. TRUST ME!!! tips: *if you decide to eat there. you'll have to wait or if you're lucky there will be a small spot to eat at their stand. *sells bottled drinks. *euros only no credit card. *speaks limited english. *allows you to take pictures

Do this not Polini. Green sauce much more potent. Skip on the porchetta though. Try to be there just before noon to avoid the crowd.

Panino Con Lampredotto was absolutely delicious, it makes for a perfect snack after spending the day at the gardens. Very casual stand in the middle of the street. We tried it spicy and with the green sauce, that added a additional layer of favor.

A great little find on the good side of the river. We managed to get seats for 5 before the rush. Kid friendly. Husband and wife team, she speaks some English, better than our Italian attempts! No vegetarian options apart from the penne pasta with tomato sauce (which I think may have had very small bits of ham in the sauce??). I'm not a strict vegetarian so wasn't that bothered but others may be. Very tasty simple food. Husband had ragu pasta, kids had hotdogs and chips. Good serving sizes, good prices. Cheap drinks. Very friendly service. It's not crowded with tourists, but was getting busy with the locals. Definitely recommend if you are wanting to get away from the crowds.

Holy cow is this the real Florentine deal. Had some kind of local sandwich - Panino Con Lampredetto - and it was magnificent. And just 3 euros. Salsa Verde is a bit spicy, but pleasant. It's at the north end of the piazza. They also do pasta and entrees.

We were driving back from our trip from Pescara (4 hours south of Florence) and since most of the restaurants we wanted to stop by in Chianti were closed around 2pm (siesta), my friend asked me if I wanted some Lampredotto. Honey, does a chicken lay eggs? It's an accuired taste, I love tripe, but Lampredotto is different from the tripe I am used too. It's the 4th and final stomach of the cow. And Lampredotto is a Fiorentine specialty. My stomach started growling knowing full well I will be ordering a Lampredotto sandwich and a bowl of Trippa alla Fiorentine. So my friend takes me to Trippaio di San Frediano and we order two beers and sit on the stools on a warm summer day. My friend orders our sandwiches, which comes with a green spice oil sauce. To die for. I almost ordered another. Then my bowl of Trippa alla Fiorentine comes out, tripe simmered in a tomato sauce with spices and yummy goodness. I think saliva just dripped from the side of my mouth. mamma mia. buonissimo. mangiare felice.

Lampredetto sandwich was amazing, the cows lower stomach. Served hot on fresh bread from a street vendor. They serve it with a salty and spicy green and red sauce. Sandwich was out of this world. I would try another one at a market in the center of town that was also amazing.

Hands down the best trippaio in florence. The fact that there's usually only tuscans there is also a very good indicator. Ottimo.

It takes some effort to find this eating spot - well worth it. Definitely a working mans place. I was the outsider, ok, but they were all very nice to the stranger. Filled my order fast and explained what sauces were. Very good food. I like tripe, I loved this sandwich, did not have room for a bowl of the Tripa. Next trip. Best wishes for future success. Good food reasonable prices, soda and beer available.
