"Officina della Bistecca di Dario Cecchini in Panzano in Chianti is a must-visit restaurant for meat lovers. From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like you're part of the family. The restaurant's centerpiece is the "macellaio," or butcher's block, where you can see Dario Cecchini and his team expertly preparing and cooking the meat.
The menu is centered around beef and the cuisine is heavily influenced by Tuscan tradition. Each dish is crafted with care and the quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite. The bistecca alla fiorentina, a massive T-bone steak, is a highlight and should not be missed.
The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and they are more than happy to explain the different cuts of meat and suggest wine pairings to complement your meal.
The experience at Officina della Bistecca is truly unique and unforgettable. From the food to the atmosphere, everything is done with an attention to detail that shows a true passion for the craft of butchery and cooking.
It's no wonder that this restaurant is so highly regarded and attracts visitors from all over the world. "

Why I 💙 this place:
👉This is much more than just restaurant, but rather an experience! Prepare for a few good hours of tasting, meeting new people and soaking in the gorgeous scenery (and interiors!)
👉 They serve one set menu which brings all parts of the cow (and you get a 'map' of what cuts you're eating!). Try everything!
👉 Unlike a traditional restaurant, you sit at long tables - next to strangers. Almost every time I've been, we've struck up great conversations with people coming from around the 🌍
👉 For Italophiles: Dario is a huge Divina Commedia fan and often recites Dante in the restaurant or behind the butcher counter 🥩❤️ 📖
