What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Focaccina Sandwich Bar is celebrated for its incredibly fresh, gourmet focaccia sandwiches that are both delicious and enormous, often recommended for sharing. While many praise the quality ingredients and friendly service, some reviewers note that the focaccia can be a bit too thick, overpowering the fillings, and occasionally find the service a bit hurried due to the constant crowds.

"Fantastic focaccia in Split, great take away item for lunch. Fresh focaccia made on site with various fillings that all look amazing.
I ordered the Caprese, with fresh warm crunchy focaccia, pesto dressing, tomato and mozzarella. Fabulous sandwich and they are huge.
Excellent service, great staff.
Overall, excellent focaccia."
