When I feel a bit hungry, only just a bit, and I feel like having a small snack, I can hardly imagine going to a better place than Procacci, in order to satisfy my needs in a very tasty way. They sell very small sandwiches filled with very original and classic ingredients. Everything for a reasonable price.
The most famous sandwiches are the ones with truffle (which is very typical in Tuscany's kitchen), but there are also other very interesting kinds (I still haven't tried them all out).
The shop itself is some kind of day-bar which also sells sophisticated products. Usually, it is not crowded, so you get in and buy your snack(s) without queueing. It is placed in the boutique street, so, as you can imagine, it is quite posh, and most of the other goods they sell are expensive, but the taste of those mini-sandwiches is worth it!
