    (Translated by Google) If you love meat this place is for you Yesterday with my husband we entered this place for the first time. The first thing that struck us is the variety of meats displayed in the display counter and in the display cases inside the restaurant. The welcome was very warm and friendly. Among the many types of meat we chose a Chianina steak the owner gave us a steak of about 1 kg and while we waited for cooking (rare for me and well done for my husband) we had a platter of cold cuts and cheeses . All very good. But the highlight was when the steak arrived, a unique goodness, very soft and tasty (even the well-cooked part). We will definitely go back and maybe try some other kind of meat. Also published on tripadvisor (Original) Se ami la carne questo posto fa per te Ieri con mio marito siamo entrati per la prima volta in questo locale. La prima cosa che ci ha colpito è la varietà di carni esposta nel banco vetrina e nelle vetrine all'interno del locale. L'accoglienza è stata molto cordiale e amichevole. Tra i tanti tipi di carne abbiamo sceto una bistecca di chianina il titolare ci ha motrato una bistecca di circa 1 kg e mentre aspettavamo la cottura (al sangue per me e ben cotta per mio marito) ci siamo fatti portare un tagliere di salumi e formaggi. Tutti molto buoni . Ma il top è stato quando è arrivata la bistecca, una bontà unica, morbidissima e gustosa (anche la parte ben cotta). Sicuramente ci ritorneremo e magari assaggeremo qualche altro tipo di carne. Pubblicata anche su tripadvisor

    We ate dinner here in October 2019, a group of four Australians. After a disappointing introduction to 'Bistecca alla Fiorentina' elsewhere, Ristomacelleria Testi was recommended to us by a local. After a conversation about steak in Tuscany, the butcher informed us that if we want to eat authentic Bistecca alla Fiorentina we should not go to a restaurant with their fancy out of town chefs, rather we should go to the source that grows and nurtures its own produce. Ristomacelleria Testi provided us with arguably the most delicious meal we had in the whole of Italy after travelling the length of the country, dining in places including Milan, Dobbiaco, Venice, Rome, Florence, Greve, Bari, Matera, Ostuni and more. The dining experience at Ristomacelleria Testi was like no other. It did not feel so much like a restaurant, but an experience that we were not so sure about, feeling a little apprehensive. The food was so perfect for us, we ate with gusto and awe that we had at last, experienced the real Bistecca alla Fiorentina in its traditional form at a local level. 2 years later, this particular dining experience has entered our folklore of great moments in travel. I would love to come back here again and with Tuscany already booked for another trip in 2022, it is very much a possibility.

    A pranzo con mia moglie, abbiamo mangiato benissimo. Locale bello, fresco e pulito, un pò piccolo, ma non nasce come un ristorante, bensì come una macelleria. Petfriendly. Vetrina della carne, molto invitante. Si può scegliere tra una grande varietà di carne, italiana ed estera. Personale e titolare, gentilissimo. Servizio rapido e curato, nonostante si tratti di una ristomacelleria. Abbiamo mangiato: -Tagliere di salumi (fatti dal titolare) € 12. Ottimi; -1 Bistecca Masuria (polacca) kg 1.130 € 62,15. Ottima, molto succulenta. Sapientemente consigliata dalla cameriera; -1 salsiccia (fatta dal titolare) € 4. Ottima, non troppo grassa; -1 Contorno di verdure al forno € 4. Buone; -1 Acqua € 2; -1 Grappa barricata € 2; -2 Coperto € 5. Il vino non l'abbiamo preso, ma la carta e la cantina, sembrano ben fornite. Totale € 91,15. Mi sento di aggiungere una cosa a cui tengo tanto e denota la tipologia del locale e del titolare.....bagno molto pulito. Torneremo sicuramente e lo straconsigliamo sicuramente.

    I had a really hard time figuring out how rate this restaurant because on one hand, there were things that I liked, and on the other hand, I felt we were ripped off. To note: They are first and foremost a butchery. Their cuts are excellent, and I've been here to pick up meat before and have never been disappointed. However, this was my first time having dinner at the restaurant. It's usually pretty busy during dinner, so I recommend a reservation ahead of time. After being seated, the waiter presents the menu verbally. You won't know unless you go inside to read the pricing on the back wall, what there is and how much it costs** I'll come back to this. We started with antipasti, traditional meat cuts, cheese, and split a bottle of red wine between the 7 of us. The waiter took our order for the steaks so they could prepare them while we talk over the appetizers. No complaints about the antipasti until the bill came, discussed later. About the steaks: I live in the United States where we are known for our steaks and our cuts and you can pay anywhere from 12.99 at Outback or Roadhouse to over $100 per cut at a private steakhouse in Vegas or elsewhere. One of the best steaks I've ever had was a $20 cut at a steakhouse in Texas (considering what I cook at home). But I live in Ohio, where local beef is a common thing. Moving forward... The steak was good here, you'll eat well, this is for sure. Could have used a little more salt and seasoning, but I liked the peppercorns and the overall serve. BUT if you ask your customers what heat they prefer, and you don't cook to order, you lose some confidence. The entire table ordered a medium heat. By USA standards, they served 2 of the 3 steaks rare. Perhaps the Italian standard is different. The third to come out was correct, and tasted the best of the three, considering seasoning and cook to order requests. Note: I prefer a rare steak, but the rest of the table was a little disappointed. One even asked if there was salt on the table. The Fiorentina had a very hard, chewy crust on the outside and cool red center inside. I felt like I needed a sharper knife. Service was a little on the slow side, but they were busy, so I can excuse this. What I really have an issue with was the pricing. A group of 7, we paid $270 $129 for 3 steaks split between 7 people, even too much meat for how many we were. $8 Bottle of wine $5 for a small beer $8 for 4 bottles of water $8 for 2 orders of potatoes $30 for 6 desserts An espresso **A whopping $70 for 2 plates of antipasto. I'm ok with everything we paid for except for the antipasto. There's no way their price for this is justifiable. To be fair, on the wall inside the restaurant, they specify that antipasto is $10/head...but if you're eating outside you don't see that. We paid $35/ea board of antipasto. Had I known how much the antipasto cost, considering what was on it, I'd have passed it by. Could have ordered two more steaks for that. Again, there is no menu given to you at the table, so you seemingly have no idea what you're paying and the waiter just asks, antipasto for the whole table, and generally you say yes.
