126 euros for 1.3Kg of very high quality meat and a good bottle of wine doesn't seem like such a crazy expense to mee, if we think of this "phantom trend" of wagyu meat from japan, which is good but certainly not as good as Chianina! for me you did very well and I'm glad you had fun! a hug to both ❤🥩

Agree totally with your comment. Expensive, yes. But worth it. I have seen crazy high prices in other countries and not worth it by comparison. Those can be sort of, ripping you off, price wise. This is not that.

Sorry reaper I have eaten both Chianina and A5 Miyazaki and it’s decidedly prospective, Japanese wagyu is way richer almost melting earthy in flavor an unbelievable eating experience while Chianina is robust in beef flavor and extremely tender especially the rarest parts, the level of animal husbandry that goes into breeding and bringing both breeds to the table is phenomenal neither is a gimmick and as someone who has had the privilege and pleasure of having both they’re equal

Fine dining is the pleasure of life. I worked in a French fine dining in Bermuda. I enjoyed every minute of this video esp. the expressions of their faces. Ambience of the ristorante is superb. Walking in a display of dry aged beef. When the bistecca arrived, wow just the way I liked it. Charred outside & rare inside. Reasonable price. We just ate at Toca Madera, Aria Resorts in Las Vegas. Our 40oz. Wagyu tomahawk steak was $225 with a bottle of Amarone 1998. Excelentisimo!

We told them we were very SERIOUS wine lovers, they came up with a Tignanello 1989. One of the best experience we've had in our lives. This was on our 11th anniversay.

I had it back in 1998 when I was in Italy for work. It wasn’t at that restaurant. But Florence has many great steak places. It was almost a joke, an American, an Australian, and a Brit walk in to a steak house. It was a steak I still remember it 25 years later. It’s a bargain at any price.

Love Bistecca alla Fiorentina! There's a trattoria across the street from the front door of our house in Italy (Pontremoli, MS) called Trattoria Peliccia that does wonderful classic cuisine from our area. Raffaello, the chef, is a master of the Fiorentina (and his roast potatoes are sublime, soft and creamy on the inside, wonderfully flavored with rosemarino and garlic). If you don't want something as big as the Fiorentina look for tagliata - similar but more for one person.

Looks delicious. We will be there this week for dinner.

Bistecca Fiorentina ❤ one of the best yummy buonissimo nice tour eating traveling enjoy

Why yes, we've eaten the steak and loved it Basically, they knock the horns off and throw it on a plate. It's a special breed of beef called Chianina beef dry aged. Well, I'm a farm boy so..

I’ve also been to Florence and heard how good the Florentine steaks are, while there I tried one and yes the meat was amazing, it’s the best I’ve ever had all over the world … honest it was that good, I’ve never tasted steak as good as the one in Florence.

Great videos , thanks. Tried this steak many years ago and simply the best. Great wine is always worth it! Best wishes.

Best steak I have ever had was in Florence.

always remember that the smaller of the 2 sides of a T bone is the fillet, the larger is the sirloin. Fillet is the nicer side!

Had Chianina steak at the Trattoria dall'Oste two years ago. Top three steaks in my entire life (and I'm not in my 20s, lol)! The sizzling on a hot stone is definitely part of the expérience. Had quite the same experience (with the hot stone and everything) in a very local and modest restaurant somewhere in the hills above Lake Como. At a much lower price! 😀 But hey, that's Florence... ;-)

I have a home in Tuscany in Val d'Orcia and I eat the Fiorentina every once in a while and it's excellent I've eaten steak in many parts of the world including the US and Argentina... probably only in Argentina I found better beef than the Fiorentina thick T-bone

When I'm in Florence I always eat the Chianina steak, it's delicious. In my city, Rome, this meat is unavailable, Ciao

2:09 Florentine steak is *only rare* . No medium-rare, no medium, no medium-well, no to talk of well-done. Greetings from Florence. 😁

Nipozzano is a great choice even though I'm keen on maremma wines nowadays

definitely not as expensive as it would be in NY. You can do that just for the steak. The bottle would most likely be another 40 to 50 for similar wine. Good deal, great place.

Great price for that kind of meal with a good bottle of wine, but instead of potatoes I would order asparagus 😉

The salt and the exellent tuscany oil over the meat??

She reminds me of my wife when she's had a couple 😅 BTW, I like it pretty rare, but thats almost blue.
