What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Mr. Sgabeo is a highly recommended street food spot in Pisa, celebrated for its delicious and unique 'sgabei' sandwiches. Diners rave about the friendly owner, the affordable prices, and the authentic Italian flavors. While the focus is on their creative sandwich fillings, some note the language barrier with the owner, though his warmth and generosity more than make up for it.
"The recommendation was to try the fried bread with raw sausage and cheese, and I was not disappointed. The fried bread just by itself is crunchy and tasty. You add a little bit of cheese to that and you get yourself a pretty good sandwich."
