Pino’s

My wife and I loved the sandwiches and friendly, family-​run environment. While others from our tour paid $ 30 each for lunch, we paid $ 10 for a beer and an outstanding sandwich. Very happy we found Pino’s.

I wish I could give Pino’s 10 stars. I was in Florence for 4 weeks over the summer and ate here at least 5 times a week. Pino is so great and his sandwiches are the best, also reasonably priced. I liked to get the build your own where you could put on 5 different meats and it was the same price. Thanks for everything Pino!

Stopped by for some sandwiches/​paninis me and my friends all tried a different one. We were very pleased and the staff was nice.

I don’t know what I just paid $ 88 euros for. Boring, uninspired pasta dishes. Too much tomato sauce. The squash ravioli and risotto were okay but nothing interesting. My dessert wine was served warm, almost hot, with stuff floating inside it. Obviously, I couldn’t drink that. The whiskey sour hardly had whiskey. Also, we had to sit outside where it was boiling hot. I don’t understand why I’m paying this kind of money to sweat while I eat. And paying for 1 bottle of water for the whole table without being offered more (is this just a European thing?). The waiters aren’t that great… OH and wtf is up with the $ 2 per person cover charge? We paid $ 8 to sit in humidity and heat. Awesome. Should have just gotten cheap pizzas or something somewhere else. Disappointing.

We only stopped in to grab a gelato but got a cannoli instead. It was good stuff. € 4.50 but good. I can’t speak to the sit down service, but I honestly stopped eating in sit down restaurants because the price is easily 2 – 3 times as high as just grabbing something at the grocery store or a place where you can get take-​away.

The worst service our entire trip! We were used to drinking our coffees ‘Italian style’ by the bar for a few euros. They insisted we sit and charged us over 10 euros as that’s the charge if you sit. Scammed us with a smile. For better coffee head anywhere else!

The banana gelato was the best we had in 14 days in Italy. Really creamy. The chocolate was excellent too.
