Mark, I’ve been watching your channel from day one, and although I rarely comment I just had to today as this video was the ONLY video that has made me cry! Not in a sad way but a compassionate and touching way! Dario moved me compassion for the animals to raise them in the best environment possible, which was n turn provides the best quality of protein for humans. And his love and ownership of his purpose in life is amazing. Thank you for sharing your platform to gift us with this segment.

Thats exactly what happend to me, that video was truly beautiful everything from the speech at the beginning to the gift of the apron. I believe that Dario has found his way in life and absolutely enjoys it, which you can see in the way he runs the restaurant and interacts with his guests. And on the funny side....I have never seen Mark laugh as much as in this video. The italien charm seems to be contagious or maybe it was the chianti ....we will never know ;-)

Chef Dario & his restaurant is atronomical!! The quality of the beef is exquisite!! The hospitality & service is phenomenal!! What a episode!! Chefs like Dario makes me feel like humanity is overall amazing!! Cheers to Mark, Mr. Taster & guest!! Salud!! 🥩🍷

i was there in 2016 and felt it was overrated. Peter Luger and keens in NYC are waaay better meat places.

I live in Atlanta but have been to Dario’s three times to eat, and four or five times in the morning just to buy meat. Dario is naturally an outgoing, enthusiastic, friendly, and passionate man. He makes the simple act of buying sausage, beef, or his Tuscan Butter (flavored lard) an absolute joy! In response to other comments, so what if his message is the same as it was in 2007? I take that as a measure of his consistency, honesty, sincerity, and unchanging heartfelt passion. One thing to note about this video: there is a lot of loud chatter and laughter in the background. That’s the way things have been whenever I have been there. Not commented upon in the video is the fact that most of the people sitting at those tables were probably complete strangers, often from different parts of the world, when they arrived. However, because of the convivial atmosphere created by Dario and his staff, everyone leaves as if they are close friends, even if they don’t share a common language. Yes, there are a few places in Tuscany where you can get a great steak at a lower price. However, you’re not going to have the electric, fun, convivial atmosphere that you’ll experience at Dario’s steak place. You also won’t get five other beef courses in addition to two primal cut steak courses, olive oil cake (delicious!), and unpretentious but perfect local Chianti included in the price. I say “bah humbug” to the “bah humbuggers” who have a gripe with Dario!

We will always support you, Mark. Keep working hard.

The absolute respect between this butcher and the animal is truly one of a kind and inspirational...what a speech...im at a loss for words...simply...amazing

This Italian series has been so enjoyable to watch so far, and I imagine it getting better and better. I love all your food series’, but this Italian one seems so relaxed, so fun, so entertaining… perhaps the addition of our two beloved foodie friends, perhaps just Mark being in his element around a people who live and die for good food.

One restaurant videos aren’t always my favourites, but honestly this one was a joy from start to finish. Dario Cecchini’s energy was so contagious! Also I love Mr. Taster’s glasses, absolutely iconic!

Dario is a gastronomy legend.

Another legend that has been under the radar. Almost 70, I hope he gets showered with love. I realized in the 90's that people would eventually be immortalized on the internet. Of course creators are now part of that, but this is what I really suspected would happen. The reason Mark makes great content is because he scours the earth to expose them at a high level. He's not the first, nor the last, but it's a great journey.

The part where Mr Dario is describing the painting clearly shows he’s passion ..and brought tears to my eyes watching him describing/explaining it..thank you for showing it MARK :-)❤

What a nice gift from Dario at the end of the evening. I don't know if you get such memorabilia ooften. But if you do get many you may decorate your house making it kind of a biography of your life or even a museum.

What a great scene in the dining room. Nice way to experience the culture, very heart-warming. Dario is such a character. He loves what he does, and it shows. The offering at the end was emotional. A Top 5 video.

As an italian, I have to admit that the Cecchini butchery has become more of a brand than anything else… it’s sad, because if you look up to older videos on youtube, you can see how much passionate and genuine he was… now he’s just saying random phrases that can be captioned on socials or whatsoever… it’s hard to say that but that’s the reality. For sure the quality is impeccable, but you can eat way better in more humble and traditional places in the whole region of Florence. By the way, you have to get clicks, visuals and comments, so the only place to go is Macelleria Cecchini, because it has a worldwide appeal that attracts people from different countries that heard about this place once in their lifetime.
