This isn’t my first time here at Da Nerbone, inside Florence’s Mercato Centrale. Once again it is quite touristy but probably so for a reason. They are most famous for their Cow’s 4th Stomach and Porchetta sandwiches.
Mercato Centrale - subdivided into the Seafood corner and the Dry Goods section -
Miss here and my last visit was too rushed as a day trip…
Nerbone and it’s Menu -
Very decently priced at only a few Euros each..
Lampredotto - Cow’s 4th Stomach
This is actually one of the rarest parts of the cow, as the Chinese also eat this and it is considered a rare delicacy due to the limited portions per carcasse. The other 3 types of stomach tripes are more commonly available.
Porchetta and the jus -
Looking so tempting indeed..
Some Chianti wine by the glass -
Lampredotto “4th Stomach” on Panino bread,
with Salsa Verde and Salad Piccante -
This was pretty good although the stomach pieces were more on the softer side compared to Chinese cooking of the same. The panino bread was surprisingly fragrant despite the pale color. The Salsas were slightly too weak to my liking. ~ 7.5/10
L
Porchetta Panino -
This was tender and fatty, it was likeable but could do with more pork taste. The Pork gravy that was spooned on top however was really good. Wish it had a more crispy skin too. ~ 7/10
Plenty of local Porcini Mushrooms and other Tripes and Organs -
All available for a dime. The Lampredotto sandwich here was still quite good, but if you aren’t visiting Florence anytime soon, very similar sandwiches can be found in Rome especially in the Testaccio quarters.
