No Florentine experience is complete without sampling its most authentic street food: Lampredotto. This local delicacy, often sold from small food carts (bancarelle), is a true testament to the Florentine tradition of cucina povera (peasant cooking).
Lampredotto is the fourth stomach of the cow, slow-cooked in a savory broth, sliced, and served in a crusty bread roll, which is often dipped in the cooking liquid. You can choose to top it with a spicy chili sauce (salsa piccante) or a mild green parsley sauce (salsa verde). It's a rich, earthy, and satisfying bite—a delicious reminder that the true spirit of Florence is found not just in its high art, but in its vibrant, persistent street culture.
