We recently stayed at the Grotta Giusti Thermal Spa Resort Tuscany property, and were looking for…read moresome additional "local flavor" after the nice meal we'd had the night before in-town, so we again walked into town to partake in this Michelin-starred dining experience. There was both inside and outside seating, but due to the chilly nature of the evening we chose to eat indoors. I'd heard that this restaurant was attached to an accompanying butcher shop, and that their steaks were to die for...so that was our meal game plan! We started things off with some wine and cicchetti, then they came to the table with some exquisite cuts of beef for us to choose from. We took the "upgraded" path and ordered a thick cut t-bone steak along with sides of sautéed field greens, potatoes and fried mushrooms. As it turns out, our eyes were much bigger than our stomachs, as it was soooo much food! But, every bite was delicious and satisfying so of course we ate it all. The steak was cooked to a medium-rare perfection and the charred exterior made for smoky and sizzling bites that were meant to be savored. Good thing we got a ride back to the hotel, as both my wife and I were in food coma heaven after this meal!
