The REAL secret to a delicious steak isn’t when you salt it, how long you age it, or resting it before slicing in. It’s definitely 99% dependent on the quality of the meat.
All the beef we had at @ituscani came from the Chianina cattle that graze nearby in the Tuscan hills and was seriously the most tender meat I’ve ever had. If you visit Florence, I highly recommend stopping by the restaurant with an empty stomach. As the name suggests, all the wine, cheese, honey, boar, beef, olive oil, and even the wood for the tables at I’Tuscani come from Tuscany.
It’s worth trying the appetizer board with a bit of everything, including the raw beef, carpaccio, and wild boar mortadella. A trip to Florence is truly incomplete without tasting both the beef and the wild boar, so that’s a great way to taste both at their best.
But whatever you do, don’t skip the meatballs. They aren’t as glamorous as the Florentine steak, but they were insanely delicious.

Sorry i hate to correct you but the top portion of a porterhouse is called a New York Strip. The bottom is yes a filet
I see nothing wrong here….😋
italian jajajajaja la misma historia de siempre! unlike
nice that you said the "carpaccio" joke. It means that florentine steak must be served really thick, like 1.5 – 2kg a piece or 5-6cm cut to be the real one.
squirted meat 🙂
Chianina its all but not tender 😅😅 go eat one before you male video
Chinese cook?
Yummm e coli lol.
yes please! all of it!
Love ur videos of italian cousine.Mi father is italian and my mother is spanish.I love italian food.But you should give a try to the spanish product too.
Eating a steak like that in Florence is life changing in terms of food experiences. Just magic
A tip for you: just study a bit before put a video like that. Chianina is not from maremma, it's from Valdichiana (chianina means from that valley). Also never heard of Tuscans meat only from maremma, think you made that up… great advertising video though…
I'm really not sure why steak purists would be offended – this is as pure and minimal as it gets.
En served hot not warm like americans do. Straight from the gril… rrrrr
Bistecca alla Fiorentina is as pure as it gets
No, thanks, I'm more of a mercury poisoning & microplastics from raw fish kind of guy.
Italian Chianina beef is unbelievably tender, but has almost no intramuscular fat, which means that marbling isnt really the main factor contributing to beef tenderness
You had me up until the seasoning.
The only rule with steak is don't cook it well done
Not seasoning is the purist thing to do. When you have good meat, you might even forget to season it. I have that happen many times and often I prefer it.
nah i don't give a fucking shit, i want to stuff myself
