Blu Bar Bistrot In San casciano in val di pesa

14/02/2025: I am an expert in sandwiches. I'm not saying it just to say it. I've been exploring the art of good stuffed bread for decades, and Spanish veal nuggets have been my religion since I was a teenager. But today, in this corner of Florence, I found something that made me rethink everything. A father and son run this sandwich shop—a family that understands respect for the product, tradition, and the magic of a good bite. They served me a pork piadina that, honestly, should be in the history books. The pork, juicy and well spiced, melts in the mouth. You add red onion, dried tomato, and a green sauce that defies the laws of nature, because I don't know what's in it, but I know it's miraculous. All this, placed in the oven just long enough for the bread to embrace the flavors and elevate them to another level. And then, the setting: Florence at my feet, with a rainbow painting the sky just as I take my first bite. If this isn't a religious experience, I don't know what is. If you've ever thought that a sandwich is just fast food, come here and find out how wrong you were. This family makes art with bread and filling, and I, who am already approaching 50 and have tried the best of the best, tell you that this is repanocha. Five stars fall short...

13/02/2025: Very good value for money. We have eaten a Panino with tuna and tomato, and a Piato from Lampredotto, with beer and water, for €17.50. The only bad thing is that they have very few tables and it is next to the road, but you can take it to go and go to a quieter place. Highly recommended!
