  • 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.

    Been there many times, last time in 2012. Nothing like entering the small butchery with the deafening music of AC/DC blasting all around, then the huge chef himself with always the smile on his face serving salame and other cold cuts, the glasses of wine always full. Dining at the long table with guests from all over the world is an experience in itself. Love the man and his team.

      ​​​​​​​@@amit7257 I don't want to bash on Dario, he is amazing and his steak looks friecken delicious!!! It is just Michelin stars tend to go to innovation in the culinary world. Again, that does not mean that Dario doesn't have the same quality food or even better than some Michelin restaurants. If you ask me personally as a chef, simplicity makes perfection , especially when you don't want your excellent main ingredients to get lost in a mess of tastes. Some chefs argue thought that you can construct amazingly layered dishes, which is also true. Each to his own i guess.
