Lonely Planet

"Forge your way past cheese, meat and sausage stalls on the ground floor of Florence's Mercato Centrale to join the lunchtime queue at Nerbone, in the biz since 1872. Go local and order trippa alla fiorentina (tripe and tomato stew)."

Giulia Scarpaleggia

"Nerbone is known and appreciated by workers and tourists, you know that by the endless line that you have to deal with if you get there at lunchtime. I went a little earlier, in the late morning so I can take my time and enjoy the sandwich, just salt and pepper this time, to really feel the taste of lampredotto, delicious, soft and delicate."

Cibo di Strada

"Another obligatory destination to enjoy the lampredotto is on a new trendy market of San Lorenzo. It is recognised by the line of people waiting for a sandwich filled with green sauce and lampredotto cooked in water with onion, parsley, tomato and celery and then cut into thin strips."

Dave Brookes

"On a recent visit I had their delicious trippa alla fiorentina, a slow-cooked tripe and tomato stew that was earthy, toothsome and lick-the-bowl gorgeous."

Callie Thorpe

"Now onto the pasta, whilst it may not look like anything fancy, it most certainly stole the show. The meat sauce, the fresh pasta, the cheese – everything about it was magic."

The Traveling Hungryboy

"We once again ordered some wild boar pappardelle to see if this shop's version would fare any better than stuff from the past two days. And it did; there was hardly any tomato while the meat was a bit more tender (and the cheese helped provide a lot of richness)."

The Traveling Hungryboy

"The tripe was very tender and tasty on its own, easily making this one of the most memorable things I've eaten on this trip thus far."

Craig Cavallo

"Located inside the Mercato Centrale, Da Nerbone is one of Florence’s oldest panini shops. Go here for lampredotto and bollito (boiled brisket) panini, as they have been making them since the 1870s."

"Nerbone, the best lampredotto in Florence."

Sabino Berardino

"And now, the lampredotto. In Florence everyone has his favourite place, and one of the worthy and guaranteed is Nerbone."
