Süsses kleines Kaffee. Mit Schatten und durch die Gasse weht ein erfrischender Wind. Einfach herrlich in dieser heissen Stadt…

The Sandwich that Changed Florence is Now Playing Catch-Up In the heart of Florence, just a stone’s throw from the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio, there lies a tiny panini shop with a big legacy. ‘Ino—short for “panino”—was once the trailblazer that elevated the humble sandwich to an artisanal craft, long before schiacciata shops began dominating Instagram feeds. Founded by Alessandro Frassica in 2006, ‘Ino helped usher in a new era of Florentine street food: sleek, ingredient-driven, and proudly gourmet. This was not your average grab-and-go. It was a culinary statement. Nearly two decades later, ‘Ino finds itself in an odd position: still solid, still respected, but no longer leading the pack. In a city bursting with inventive contenders ‘Ino feels… safe. The quality remains respectable, the selection confident, but the spark of surprise has dimmed. The panini are still good. Sometimes very good. But they no longer define the scene. To visit ‘Ino today is to visit a cornerstone of modern Florentine lunch culture. But it’s also a reminder to constantly evolve, or risk being overtaken by the very movement you helped inspire.
