Ino

Ino, a bright, contemporary Florentine panini bar by the Uffizi, emphasizes provenance and top-tier ingredients from Italian suppliers. Run by Alessandro Frassica, it offers made-to-order panini on local saltless ciabatta, with crowd-pleasers like mortadella with pistachio pecorino, gorgonzola with ‘nduja, and prosciutto with grilled artichokes. The wine list is brief (Chianti and Trebbiano) plus local beers and juices. Patrons range from locals to Uffizi visitors; service is warm and knowledgeable, though peak times can slow the kitchen. Reviews laud the bread, texture, and inventive fillings, calling Ino a must-visit for high-quality, artisanal sandwiches near Florence’s landmarks.
