The Best Bistecca alla Fiorentina in Florence and much more…
A dining experience curated by chef Alessandro Fabbri
At Torcicoda, we take pride in our Florentine Steak.
We put extra love
research and care in making the famous La Bistecca Fiorentina. We are passionate about food and have sourced the best cattle from all over the world. Diners can select from a variety of breeds including Fassona, Angus, Chianina, Scottona, Wagyu Style Kobe and Bison. The meat is stored and aged, for sometimes up to 80 days, in a special cellar to ensure that the steak is juicy and full of flavor. Steaks are prepared on a charcoal and wood grill so we can offer the most delicious and mouthwatering steak you will ever try. Steaks are served on an olive wood cutting board and garnished with sea salt and organic extra virgin olive oil from Tuscany.
THE DELICIOUSNESS IS IN THE DETAILS
Type of Meat
National: Piedmontese Fassona, Romagnola IGP, Marchigiana IGP. Irish Angus, Chianina IGP, Wagyu and Kobe, American Bison, Bavarian Scottona, Dry Aged Scottona, Dry Aged Black Oxen.
Cut
Our butchers offer the most prized cut of the cow, “La lombata“! It can be portioned from 1.2Kg and is the muscle that covers the end of the rib cage, which can be cut with the bone and filet, “alla fiorentina“ or without the bone, “La costata”.It is a very tender part with plenty of fat that gives the meat lots of flavor.
The Grill
Our steaks are cooked on our wood and charcoal grill. Steaks are slightly salted and placed on the hot grill. Cooking times to get a 1.2kg rare steak are: 7 minutes per side, plus 7/8 minutes standing on the bone. This last step is essential to serve the steak warm inside.
Wine
To go accompany our steaks, our sommelier proposes a wines that posess complexity and persistence, including: Testamatta Bibi Graetz 2012, Philip Mazzei 2014, Chianti Classico Poggio Rosso San Felice 2013, Sapaio 2015 Bolgheri Superiore and Carapace Sgrantino di Montefalco 2014 Lunelli. These wines also have a great acidity and tannins that make a harmonious combination with the meat
