Florence | Highly Popular Steakhouse
Florence steak (Bistecca alla Fiorentina) is a must-try delicacy when visiting Italy. A proper Florentine steak must be made from the oldest Italian cattle breed, Chianina, and each T Bone steak must weigh 1kg or more. It is grilled over a charcoal fire, with no unnecessary seasoning. Most restaurants in Florence offer this classic dish, with Trattoria Zà Zà being the most recommended. Without a reservation, it's nearly impossible to get a seat.
Following the waiter's advice, I chose the steak traditionally rare, which I've seldom ordered in my life. During this trip to Italy, I tried it twice. The steak is charred on the outside with a high flame, creating a fantastic flavor. The meat is tender without a trace of blood, thickly cut but not affecting the texture, soft yet rich in flavor. The only nitpick would be the almost imperceptible presence of the T Bone fillet side 🙈. Besides steak, other dishes at Zà Zà are also highly reputable, with generous portions and very reasonable prices. It's strongly recommended to share with friends.
Moreover, most of the restaurants I visited in Italy provided excellent service, with Zà Zà being one of the few with less satisfactory service 🫢. The staff were not rude, but the restaurant was simply too busy, and it took about half an hour just to order. The staff could only apologize repeatedly, saying 'sorry, it will be just a moment'. However, considering the quality of the steak and the great value for money, I still recommend everyone to give it a try.
