  If you love tripe, you must try the lampredetto, a well-known tripe sandwich, ​and Florentine specialty.  It's a popular snack you can get from street vendors all over Florence, but you won't find it anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area.  At least I haven't seen it, and I'd be one of the first to find it​ because I absolutely LOVE tripe!  I'm always up for a dish of tripe, whether it be in Mexican menudo, Chinese black bean sauce or in an Italian tomato-based​ sauce.  If you're averse​ to tripe or offals, stay away from this place.  Consider yourself forewarned. However, if you love tripe and offals as much as I do, put on your running shoes and run to this place now!
  
  I specifically came here for the lampredotto because Da Nerbone has been around since 1872.  It was one of the first vendors to come into the ​Mercato Centrale, where they currently remain today.  My instincts lead me in the right direction.  There were huge lines every time I came by.  
  The tripe was EXCELLENT!  It's essentially boiled in a broth, sliced and placed in between bread with a dollop of a chimichurri-like sauce.  There was too much bread for me, so I literally tossed the bread and just ate the tripe.  So delicious!  So moist!  I'm guessing that the chimichurri-like sauce was intended to help tame the flavor of the tripe, but there was so little that it didn't seem to make a difference in that sense.  Not a problem for me at all though.  Just be sure that you like tripe​ because you will definitely taste the essence of the tripe.  
  
  You can also get other things here, like a Florentine-style tripe dish, which seemed to be popular,  but looked a bit soupier than I prefer in a Florentine-style preparation.
  
  My only regret was only coming here only once.  The lampredotto is definitely on my radar for my next visit to Florence, and wherever else I can find it.  If you come here, have one for me, please!

  We came to visit from Los Angeles, Pasadena. This place is amazing and you have to have the Tripp and Brisket sandwich's. The flavor in this meat is unforgettable. We fell in love

  Had the tripe sandwich. Asked for a mix of beef and tripe but they don't do that so I dove in and tried it out. For breakfast. It was really good. Super tender unlike the chewy texture of tripe in Asian food. The bread in Italy has been amazing and the pesto and spicy sauce gave it some extra flavor. Could have used more of the spicy sauce but that's the American in me. For 6euros it was a nice filling breakfast to give me energy for my walk around Florence.

  Da Nerbone is a classic joint to stop by in Florence. Located inside the Mercato Centrale, it's been around since 1872 so they must be doing something right. We stopped by for lunch and there was a huge line already. Don't worry because the line moves quickly. Make sure someone grabs the limited amount of seating while you order the food.
  
  I ordered the roast beef sandwich, as they had run out of the porchetta. The roast beef was slow cooked and thinly sliced. The meat was tender and the juices from the meat soaked the bread. The bread was crispy and fresh. You could tell the bread is freshly baked every day.
  
  I'm usually not a fan of tripe, but Italy seriously made me reconsider my decision. My mother ordered the tripe sandwich and it looked absolutely delicious. From what I understand, they are known for the tripe sandwich so I would suggest you try it.
  
  For 6-8 euros for each sandwich, this place was a  steal!
