Semel

Some of the simplest experiences can be amongst the best…..like getting a ham, cheese & tomato sandwich served on a fresh crusty bread roll, from a tiny modest store in an obscure location near a market Florence. Served by the outgoing and personality-filled owner Marco himself, it was a delicious sandwich but an even more memorable experience. The €1 glass of rather ordinary wine was the icing on a very fun cake. Definitely worth visiting.

Charming owner that speak English very well and is extremely inviting and welcoming. The sandwiches are small but good, and he offers small glasses of wine for terrific prices.

Possibly the best sandwich I've ever eaten, washed down with an excellent 1euro glass of house red wine. An interesting and unusual choice on the menu, you'll want to try more than one. This felt like a spot for locals but it was also recommended in a certain well known guide book. Absolutely fantastic.

Delicious, seasonal sandwiches that hit the spot and set you back just 4€ (and 1€ for a cup of house wine to wash it down). Super cute little place with four stools next to the counter where you order from the chalkboard menus. Right across from Sant’Ambrogio market, a bustling side of Florence that shouldn’t be missed. The owner/sandwich-maker is the most charming, polite Florentine man ever.

A can’t miss whether living in or visiting Florence. Tiny place to grab an innovative and great tasting 5€ sandwich with southern exposure (on a day with sun, an even more fantastic place to be) to watch the activity at the Sant’Ambrogio market. Wash down your sandwich with one or more 1€ glasses of white or red wine. I love Semel. You will be taken care of by the owner. A really mice guy.
