Most of the lunches we've eaten in Florence have been from places that displays paninis in the window or are clearly visible from the sidewalk. While even the food from those caffes is still fantastic, we stumbled upon a forno (literally translated to oven but more of a bakery). We walked in and stood awkwardly behind the counter only to realize after several minutes that we needed to take a ticket. We've also now learned that any place where you need to take a ticket is a keeper. After pointing out which panini you want they'll place the knife in a certain area to indicate how much you want (naturally I told the person I wanted more). Then they weigh your panini and charge you per kg. Several important lessons were learned in the forno...
1. It is much cheaper. I got a panini (with much fresher bread) and a large slice of pizza for under 4 euro.
2. The quality of the food is much better.
3. Take the food to go! If you eat there you end up just buying another panini because it all lookds too good to pass up
