Eating Lunch on a Budget: I Due Fratellini

I Due Fratellini

By Paige Gherardi

If you want one of the best panini you can find in Florence, try I Due Fratellini. Their sandwiches are made with the freshest ingredients on a soft, chewy roll. The sandwich shop is literally a hole in the wall and customers order their sandwich and glass of wine then enjoy their meal in the street. The menu is posted here below, but they often have flyers posting new ingredients and you can always build your own panino. The line can get very long at I Due Fratellini during lunch hours, but the guys working inside know how to pump out orders and keep the line moving. If you’re looking to stick to a budget while in Florence, you can’t beat their €2.50 panino. Paired with a glass of wine, lunch costs around €5.
