👋 Hi there, I’m Mr. Taster, and I’m currently in Italy with my awesome friends Mark Wiens and Jeffery, on a mission to savour Dario Cecchi’s one of a kind Steaks in Florence.🇮🇹 Our taste buds are geared up for an epic culinary adventure!

At the Antica Macelleria Cecchini, a renowned restaurant in Tuscany, Italy, an extraordinary meaty feast awaited us. Renowned chef Dario Cecchini’s team expertly prepared a diverse selection of exceptional steaks, beef tartare, and the tantalizing Carpaccio Di Culo, each showcasing a unique texture and artful presentation. From the mesmerizing display of meats grilled over charcoal to the mouthwatering Costata o Bistecca Fiorentina, this culinary experience truly spoiled our taste buds with an array of tender, juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth cuts.

Thank you so much for joining us on this delightful journey! Your support and engagement mean the world to us. 🙌 We absolutely love reading your comments and having you as part of our food-loving community.

  1. The butcher was such a lovely man, very hospitable and so inviting. Those steaks were marvellous

  2. Oh, it's "Somebody Feed Phil's" good friend Dario! I didn't even have to watch the video to know it was Dario. Loved watching him on Phil (on Netflix & he was in another episode of something on Netflix where he told his story about how he became a butcher, which is not what he wanted to do.) Long story short for those of you who don't have/watch Netflix & Somebody Feed Phil, Dario was attending vet school to take care of animals. Unfortunately, things would change when his father became sick ( & passed?) so Dario had to take over. This is why he puts so much care into what he does b/c as a vet you're caring for sick/healthy animals. He turned that around & made it his opportunity to thank the animals he butchers and show respect for those animals and so forth. So after seeing Dario's story about how he came to be a butcher, the passion has for it now makes a lot of sense. That's the best way I can put it. As Dario is describing that painting, I'm listening to what he is saying…and it goes back to what I said before and that's his philosophy, to honor & respect each animal and give them a dignified death. I wrote this comment even before watching the video!!!
    When I was in middle school, my parents & I went to Italy on a tour 26 years ago, my parents had just bought my 3rd show horse 2 weeks before & I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay home with my 5 y/o mare. We went to Italy for 2 weeks(?). I saw Robin Williams in Venice (almost to the day of his passing) & I was so bored on the trip. But, it's amazing how all of these years later, I can see towns & places in videos made by other individuals and recognize things/places. I wished I was older b/c I would have enjoyed more things, including food & Italian wine.

  3. You have the most infectious laugh. I am subbed to you from an old account. After seeing you in Mark's video i realized i wasn't subscribed so you have another sub. Ty for the hearts on Mark's video. Love from Ontario Canada.

  4. So let me get this straight, he goes from Persian food to pig fat in potatoes… lmfao. What a downgrade.
