    I have been dreaming of having bistecca alla fiorentina ever since I can remember. Back in the…read morestates, I always get strange reactions from the waiters when I order my steak "as rare as possible." That is what I was expecting in Italy. Am I the only one that thought steak florentine was supposed to be served this way? Maybe that's was my mistake but I thought that's how it was prepared in Florence. Anyways, I was immediately suspicious when our waitress asked how we would like our steak cooked and her suggestions were medium or medium well. Uhhhh what? That goes against everything I believe in! The steak came out on a hot stone slab on top of a wooden box. The slab obviously continued to cook the steak so I immediately took off a few pieces to prevent this. The steak was thick and tender with chunks of large salt grains. It looked nice all sliced up but that's where the compliments end. It lacked flavor and ended up cooking to be more medium rare when I grabbed my pieces and then even medium by the time my dad grabbed his second slice. Our waitress seemed annoyed when we asked for the truffle sauce to accompany our steak (my dad forgot to ask for it when we placed our original order) and walked away with a huff to go grab it. The fries came out cold and limp with flavorless truffle shavings on top. I'm not sure why this place has such great reviews. Maybe it got too big for its britches and the quality has declined? The one saving grace was the crema bruciata! And the very understanding hostess who gladly pushed our reservation from 7:30 to 8:00pm due to travel difficulties. Whatever the reason, this place definitely missed the mark. You can't walk three steps without seeing a steakhouse here in Florence. My recommendation? Try one of those.

    What a wonderful experience. Visiting dear friends originally from NY that have a home in Tuscany,…read morewe came for a relaxing dinner at La Cantina. The staff was extremely welcoming and the food was fresh and delicious. There is both an inside dining room and a large outdoor garden setting. The evening we came there was a warm breeze and it was delightful to sit outside. We were quickly seated and our order was taken within minutes. We started with typical Tuscan appetizers. One was tastier than the next. My girlfriend and I shared a large sandwich made with a huge flat bread. It was stuffed with meat, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. It was extremely large and definitely enough to share. It was not a heavy sandwich and it was really tasty. Her husband had a margarita pizza with meat. Dad had a sliced steak with Parmesan cheese, arugula and French fries. For dessert we tasted the home made cheese cake that was the owner's Mom's recipe. It was much lighter and more delicate than a NY cheese cake. It was less sweet and to me tasted almost like a cross between cheese cake and a Napoleon. It was awesome! Definitely try it! If you ever find yourself in this part of the Tuscan hills of Italy, do yourself a favor and visit this place. You won't be disappointed.
