Sergio Pollini Lampredotto

It was my first time eating Lampredotto so I don't really have a lot of benchmark. So being Asian I'm quite familiar with these special parts of pork so it didn't really turn me off but I could understand if this is not for everybody. We ordered a spicy version and we glad we did because it makes it much better and easier to eat. The bread was perfectly cooked. The meat inside was still warm. Loved it! Price is 5 Euro and it's a big sandwich. The staffs are very friendly and efficient. Btw we went super early. Saw later in the day the queue is longgggg

If you like tripe you will love the lampredotto sandwich. Being honest it is not for me. But with all the hype I had to try. For 5 Euro and good service it’s worth going. It’s a great choice for street food and the guys were so nice too!

Super friendly guys running this place and speak fluent English. Long queue and long wait for defo worth the hype. First time having stewed stomach sandwich - the meat doesn’t taste weird in any way which means it was prepared and cleaned properly. Highly recommend!

Like many I have also seen Stanley Tucci’s show that featured this stall. All I have to say is that it is worth the hype and it’s definitely worth a visit! The sandwich itself had a really nice flavor and texture. No funky tastes nor smells at all, so definitely cleaned and cooked very well. As for the owners of the stall they were so friendly and nice, which makes the experience all the nicer and memorable! If we’re ever back in Florence we will definitely be back!

A Must-Try Florence Food Experience: Lampredotto at Tripperia Pollini My wife and I have always said we would return and visit Italy again, after watching countless shows, YouTube videos, and Instagram influencers highlight the best places to eat, we finally made it! One show that really inspired us was Tucci in Italy, Season 1, Episode 1 (May 2025), which takes viewers through Tuscany’s rich culinary traditions and the deep pride locals have in their food. Since we were going to be in Florence, we knew we had to experience it ourselves. In the episode, Tucci visits a classic cucina povera staple—the lampredotto sandwich. This Florentine icon is served at roadside stands like Tripperia Pollini, near the Sant’Ambrogio market, a celebrated street food kiosk known for its lampredotto—a traditional sandwich made from stewed tripe, seasoned with herbs, and topped with salsa verde. For those who don’t know, lampredotto comes from the cow’s fourth stomac, boiled and served on a crusty roll with a garlicky sauce. It’s often called Florence’s original fast food and is a true culinary heritage of the city. I know, you are cringing, but you don't know what your missing. We arrived at Tripperia Pollini and I/We had the pleasure of meeting Pier Paolo, who told us we could call him Peter Paul. He’s the son of Sergio Pollini, and from the moment we met, he was friendly, funny, and welcoming. I told him we had traveled from Arizona and had watched the Tucci in Italy, which made us want to try the famous dipped lampredotto with a Chianti! He prepared it right in front of us—and wow, it was incredible. I even had two! 😳 While I ate, Pier Paolo shared the history of their family stand. Sergio Pollini has been part of the Sant’Ambrogio neighborhood for decades. After a long career in clothing, he transitioned to the market trade in the 1990s and took over the lampredotto stand on Via dei Macci, where he and Pier Paolo have been serving locals for nearly 30 years. The stand itself has roots going back around 100 years, making it a true fixture of Florence’s street food scene. Over the years, it’s evolved from a simple setup on an Ape (a three-wheeled vehicle) to a fully equipped trailer. Talking with Pier Paolo was a highlight. Locals stopped by, chatted briefly, bought their sandwich, and continued on—it’s clear this place is will known Experiencing it firsthand was awesome. I could of died happy right there. So, if you’re in Florence, Sergio Pollini Tripperia Lampredotto is an absolute must.

A Florence must try!! Staff were fun and friendly, the food was delicious and not what you’d expect. Best Lampredotto in all of Tuscany!!

Not exaggerating when I say one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in my life. The crusty bread soaked in the juices and the tender offal is just 🤌🏻

I learned about this place by watching Stanley Tucci’s documentary. I love local food so didn’t want to miss, I had to sequeeze this in between meals because they’re closed on Sundays. I usually don’t eat cow stomach but the taste is good. The bread is too hard to bite into and because of this, everything is getting pushed out of it as you do, so most of the meat I had to eat using my fingers. Luckily the paper wrap is able to hold this juicy meat. It was a nice local-food experience, thanks guys!
