He belts out arias and recites Dante while serving the best meat in Tuscany. The eighth-generation butcher Dario Cecchini adores bistecca alla fiorentina, a thick steak of Chianina beef, the largest breed of cattle in the world. He serves it at his restaurant-cum-butcher’s in Panazano, Tuscany, where he puts on a rustic show for hungry guests from all over the world, who come to see the famous butcher in action. He believes in using every part of the animal and showcasing regional products and recipes.

Too rare for me
All the people here who, from foreign countries, write they visited Dario Cecchini's restaurant are rich, quite rich i'd say. This not the real life, i mean, this is the real life for rich people only, we italians at the most don't live happy and classy as mainstream/stereotype say. The truth is that Italy, like the whole Europe, is dying for many reason i'm too lazy to explain.
They’re practically eating it raw! 🤮
Tbh, doesn’t look appealing. No marbling, undercooked, lightly seasoned..
Топ!
Saluté 🫡
I have never seen a man so happy with his work
Kobe better
"Liking animals and eating them is no contradiction."
I agree, especially if the reason you like them is how they taste.
but you should season the meat before…….
Picanha.
Questo incula tutti chissà i turisti che spellate
I live 45 minutes from Florence and I can say the fiorentina is not the best steak in the world with a certain degree of confidence
Franz Ferdinand over here cooking beef
Ron Swanson in the Flesh
Peccato che gli italiani non sappiano frollare e cucinare la carne
Ma vendi ancora solo carne importata?
Yeah thats raw
What a truly happy man
Жрут сырое обгоревшее мясо и рассказывают какое это блаженство. Что же будет если дать им попробовать нормальный шашлык?
Hot damn, Dario Cecchini is a colourful character, to Beef or not to Beef, Carne Diem… this guy looks like a hoot. A visit to his place is worth it if he is there!
Italy doesnt have meat tradition like other countries, such as Argentina, Brazil and Usa-Texas; and Fiorentina (or T-bone) should be prepared medium, not rare. Rare is like ordering a chewing gum
😋😋😋😋
i was in that restaurant last summer, there was an option for meat and vegetarian, my wife does not like beef, the vegitarian menu was…….na not that good, just some garnish. the beef menu ? the best part was a spoon full of tartar, and just 1 or 2 peaces wich where good, the rest was just chewy and had no taste. and there was no live cooking, and on the bottom of the placemet / menu i read : we select our meat from young catle in spain – it was not the best meal i had, very disapointing actually
I eat meat every single day, hope to someday try his steak
hes a nice kind of schizo
They said there were no Italian Bavarians, now they say nothing
That man is living the life !
No.
his beef is from spain
I do think European beef isn't as good as American beef which is corn finished more fat and more tender.
TO BEEF OR NOT TO BEEF
that man has PASSION
Florentine steak is mid…😒
"He calls himself the God of steak"
The entire state of Texas: "Is that a personal challenge, son?"
Ancora i mandolini sottofondo 🤦..siamo nel 2025 anche in Italia!😅
