"Great location in Piazza della Cisterna. Delicious sandwiches that were sufficiently huge with wonderful bread and they were not overpriced. Service was quick. Inside is not large but we had room for our group of 10."

"Great spot for a little aperativo. We caught the jazz trio in the cisterns at the right time. Paired with a good sandwich and 2.50€ prosecco and wine between 3.5-7€, this was a great space to spend the afternoon."

"Great Sandwiches for a great price with a great location in the middle of the square! The chef and owner was very nice and very generous with his portions! The ingredients... simply said: WOW... from the pistachio pesto, regular pesto, creamy home made cheese, the Salami, prosciutto, mortadella and dried tomatoes.... the list goes on!! The price are from 6 to 10 Euros and he has a variety of drinks and alcohol (wines and beers). I would definitely recommend because it will definitely hit the spot Enjoy!"

"Oh my goodness. Some of the best sandwiches of our lives! I am vegetarian so I got the artista which was fresh tomatoes, Buffalo cheese, Basil, and pistachio cream. It was so good. The bread here is awesome and overall it was a great experience. Would love to go back next time I'm in the area."

"So good! If you find yourself wandering through San Gimignano in the afternoon when all of the restaurants are closed, this is a great spot. Right on the main piazza, these incredible panini have fresh sliced meats and creamy cheeses. Their beer prices are insanely low and the people are very welcoming! As a tall person I loved how large the sandwiches are!"

"Delicious schiacciate fiorentine. Freshly made with local ingredients. Cured meat is their specialty. I had a huge schiacciata with porchetta, aubergine, courgettes and rocket. It comes warm and crispy. A glass of house red wine and a bottle of water. I paid €13. So good! It has few small tables inside and a beautiful view of the square. I’d go back again. It’s perfect for a quick and good lunch."
