Had
dinner
reservations
here
for
dinner
to
try
the
bistecca
alla
Fiorentina.
We
ended
up
choosing
the
local
beef,
which
was
a
wet
aged
maremmana
steak.
It
was
129
euros
for
the
steak,
which
is
comparable
to
a
tomahawk
steak
in
NJ.
I
had
a
glass
of
red
wine,
and
they
gave
little
complimentary
dishes
of
a
tomato
puree
for
an
appetizer
(forgot
the
name
but
it
was
really
good).
We
chose
porcini
mushrooms
and
white
bean
sides.
They
brought
out
a
plate
of
roasted
vegetables
instead
of
the
mushrooms,
which
they
took
back,
but
then
a
manager
came
out
to
inform
me
that
they
didn't
have
any
mushrooms.
We
accepted
the
roasted
vegetables
instead.
Preferred
the
beans
over
the
veg
and
too
bad
about
the
mushrooms.
They
asked
how
we
wanted
the
steak
(medium
rare).
The
steak
came
out
more
medium
than
medium
rare
and
lightly
seasoned
with
a
little
salt
and
rosemary.
I
was
surprised
it
was
overcooked
rather
than
undercooked,
which
we
would
have
preferred.
I
was
aware
going
in
that
many
steaks
in
Florence
weren't
heavily
seasoned
-
I
do
prefer
mine
seasoned
more,
rather
than
add
extra
salt.
We
didn't
know
at
the
time,
but
the
olive
oil
was
also
something
that
is
used
on
steaks
in
Florence
(this
was
not
mentioned
by
the
server).
We
wanted
to
try
it
the
way
it
was
served
to
us
without
adding
anything,
but
I
wish
we
had.
It
seems
that
dry
aged
is
more
flavorful
than
wet
aged
-
though
this
was
the
first
wet
aged
steak
we
have
ever
tried.
I'm
glad
we
tried
it,
but
we
weren't
blown
away
for
this
price.
For
dessert,
I
wanted
to
try
cantucci
e
vinsanto
while
in
Florence.
The
alcohol
was
a
bit
strong
for
my
taste,
but
the
biscotti
were
pretty
good
lightly
dipped
in
it.
We
also
ordered
an
espresso.
Some
of
the
menu
item
descriptions
are
a
little
eccentric,
which
makes
it
confusing
once
it
translates
to
English.
We
enjoyed
the
outside
seating.
