I would have to say the best steak experience I have ever had in a restaurant was near Greve just outside Florence in La Cantinetta di Rignana in the very small village of Rignana.
FANTASTIC!
I shared the classic Bistecca Fiorentina with my group, and it was the best steak I have ever experienced. A classic T Bone, (2kg!) and it was cooked over a wood fire, nice and rare. Rare is the classic way to serve it.
It was carved tableside by Guido no less - yes that is his real name.
It was a dry aged steak of Chianina beef, which is getting fairly rare these days.
Serve with a nice drizzle of extra virgin Tuscan olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper....
I had a front row seat of the Tuscan countryside, a very nice Tuscan red wine and a beautiful young Tuscan woman dining with me... Wow!
