The average steak is about 1-1.5kg and of course one could try to eat one alone, might be a good challenge :-) Located in a small Tuscan village near Empoli we were invited to dinner here by a customer. I absolutely loved this place and it's very local. No English is spoken here but you can still manage. It's a family restaurant that makes great food. Service is great and the menu is small. We opted for the steak to share and it was delicious. Made from a special cow that is bred in Tuscany the meat was tender and delicious. The starters were also simple but very tasty. The biscotti vin santo for dessert was divine. Biscotti to dip on dessert wine is something I got addicted to quickly. Loved it here and look forward to coming back again. Reasonable, great friendly service, excellent steak and nice ambience.

This place was a typical tourist tr, disguised as a nice restaurant. The service was terrible and they charged €3.50 for service per person, which is insane as we were rarely attended to and our requests consistently forgotten. For example, after ordering a glass of wine, our waiter poured us half of what a typical glass is supposed to be. It also seemed at times that the waiter forgot about what we requested (ex: a bottle of water and a glass of wine). The food was also terrible. The risotto with pigeon came with around 2 inches worth of a tiny pigeon and it looked like vomit. They also gave us a supposed 'palette cleanser' which was this creamy soup that tasted as if it were out of a can. I had the spaghetti with red mullet and even though it was the best dish we had ordered, it was still something that was so disgraceful it shouldn't have been served. The tuna appetizer was also definitely not fresh and it came served with onion rings. This was the worst and most expensive restaurant we went to in Italy, so unless you are looking for a terrible experience and terrible food, I would not recommend coming here. This restaurant was disgraceful.
