Firenze Italian Street Food is a delightful culinary oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the city streets.I recently had the pleasure of trying their chicken pesto sandwich, and let me tell you, it was a flavor explosion. The mozzarella was delightfully fresh, and the pesto? Oh, it was divine. I could taste the authenticity in every bite. It's evident that they use quality ingredients and put love and care into crafting their dishes.One thing that truly impressed me was the lightning-fast service. Despite the busy lunch rush, my order was ready in a flash. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring that every customer got their meal with a smile.To top it all off, they even threw in a free cookie with my order. It's those little touches that make all the difference and leave a lasting impression.If you're craving authentic Italian flavors on the go, Firenze Italian Street Food is the place to be. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, their delicious offerings are sure to satisfy your taste buds. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

The food container for the Firenze Salad has become so small. It's almost half the size it used be. Further, it used to come with these crispy pita crouton like this and a slice of bread. That is no longer the case. The salad is missing a crunch without the pita. For $11.60 + tax and tip, it's asking a lot for what you get. The ambiance is quick , food court/plaza vibes.

I ordered the spicy soppressata sandwich for lunch. The ingredients were fresh and I loved the bite of spiciness followed by the creaminess of the ricotta spread. The flavors really melded well. Reminded me of the amazing flatbread sandwiches in Florence. While not as good as the ones over there, still a good substitution over catching a 12 hour flight to Italy! Will have to return again to try more sandwiches.

The spicy soppressata and the chicken pesto are both amazing. Tons of flavor, surprisingly filling, and it justifies the price which might seem more than you'd otherwise expect. The spicy soppressata is my favorite with a ton of meat on it and a really good sauce it's surprisingly filling and actually decently spicy rather than washing the spice out and falsely claiming to be spicy. The chicken pesto is just a classic with a really punchy pesto flavor that I would definitely recommend.It's a great, quick, go-to for lunch options in the area.

Really frickin good Italian sandwich. I got the Spicy Soppressata Sandwich and loved every bite! Flavorful slices of Hot Soppressata on top of a creamy layer of ricotta all topped with arugula and the best drizzle of hot oil and honey. Oh, I almost forgot about the bread. Fluffy and crusty. Loved it all.

Someday we'd like to visit Italy. Lately we've been reading about Italy. Apparently one of the most popular sandwiches in Italy is this sandwich on this Schiacciata bread. Schiacciata is similar to focaccia but it seems to be lighter and more airy. When I heard there was a location in Chicago, we had to try it out. Firenze Italian Street Food is located inside the Chicago French Market. We ordered a selection of their sandwiches. While we liked them all, our favorites were the Caprese the Truffle Prosciutto. The Roasted Veggie was a close second. The Caprese has fresh mozzarella, pesto, roasted eggplant and a balsamic glaze. It's savory and a little sweet. The Truffle Prosciutto was a bit of a surprise. The prosciutto was sliced thicker which gave the sandwich a meatier bite. This sandwich also had creamy fresh mozzarella and a sweet and tart balsamic glaze. The savory and sweet really worked well with this sandwich. We enjoyed the selection of sandwiches. Chances are very good that we'll get sandwiches from Firenze again before we get to try them in Italy, which is just fine by me.

We had these sandwiches catered into our office and I was amazed at how incredibly flavorful the roasted veggie sandwich was. Every single element in the sandwich was distinct and incredibly flavorful, especially the roasted red pepper, summer squash, and zucchini which all retained a good amount of firmness. The pesto really tied all the different elements together well with a bit of provolone for a small amount of fat and roasted red onion to give a bit of extra umami. The small bit of acid provided by the balsamic glaze really helped to add some body to the overall sandwich which was housed perfectly in a flavorful schiacciata bread which was perfectly chewy. I can't wait to try more delicious items from this restaurant in the future.

I work nearby and this is my favorite place to pickup lunch! Food tastes fresh and is always ready on time. Price is good. I will continue to keep coming here!

The bread is super crispy and well seasoned. The pesto sauce is super tasty, pairs very well with the fresh mozzarella cheese. The best pesto chicken sandwiches I've had! Highly recommend

So good I had to go back for a second sandwich! Would recommend anything on the menu, best sandwiches I've had in Chicago.
