A recipe inspired by Florence’s gastronomic culture, prepared with care, balance, and respect for the local area.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina is much more than a simple meat dish: it is one of the strongest symbols of Florentine cuisine and one of the most representative food experiences for anyone who wants to discover the true taste of Tuscany. This dish tells a story of simplicity, quality, and deep respect for the ingredient itself. In our restaurant, a point of reference for both locals and visitors since 1953, the steak is prepared according to a precise philosophy: careful meat selection, high-heat charcoal grilling, and a minimal approach that enhances tenderness, juiciness, and character. The result is a great classic of traditional Tuscan cuisine, created for those looking in Florence for an authentic, intense flavor that remains faithful to the territory.

Ingredients, preparation, and cooking times work together to best express the identity of the recipe.
The meat is left at room temperature before cooking to ensure a more even result. It is then grilled over hot coals at high heat, without piercing it and without altering its structure. After a short resting time, it is finished with coarse salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to enhance the natural flavor of the steak.
