The story
Tucked along a narrow alley in Florence, La Fettunta is a classic Florentine street-food spot that has earned a 4.7-star rating for good reason. It’s the kind of place where the menu leans on local tradition, and one dish in particular draws steady crowds: the Trippa alla Fiorentina.
As Mark Wiens notes, the sandwich here is “warming,” and the bread performs a remarkable trick—it “stays crispy even after a full broth dip.” That textural resilience, paired with a deeply savory trippa filling, makes for a satisfying, no-fuss meal. This is casual, takeout-friendly eating at its most honest, served in an alleyway that feels distinctly Florentine.

The trippa alla fiorentina earns rave reviews, a hearty, slow-cooked triumph of tender offal in rich tomato sauce. Overall, the vibe is rustic, soulful, and deeply Florentine.
“This is the first stomach of the cow, tripe cooked in tomato sauce, served on bread with cheese, salt, and pepper. The bread is fully dipped in the broth but stays crispy. The tripe is stewed until tender and soft, not chewy at all. The tomato sauce is light, not too acidic, just a nice balance. It's a wonderfully warming sandwich, especially in the alley.”
