Tonight we went back to Trattoria Burrasca that we had the lovely authentic Tuscan food from previously. This time we had gone for one reason......a Steak Fiorentine!!!
Basically, a Steak Fiorentine is a nicely seasoned, over-sized T-Bone steak, that is normally shared, in this case between two people.
Shortly after we placed our order the waiter came out with our steak to show us what we were going to get....1.1kg of T-bone....oh, we also ordered some salad (to keep Lesley happy), and a nice bottle of local red wine.

However, when he showed us our steak there were two different reactions at our table:
Glenn - Mmmmmmmmmmmm......Meat!!!
Lesley - Oh, that looks rather big, and there is quite a lot of fat on it, and that bone is quite big as well.
Glenn - Mmmmmmmmmmmm.....Fat!!!
I am sure you can already see how this meal is going!
The steak arrived, close to rare....yum! Lesley started to gag....so we sent it back to get it closer to Medium Rare.

It was a very tasty steak, I am not sure how they season these steaks, but it does add another level of taste to it, and the chargrilled taste....yum!
However, I was completely honest, I would have to say that the actual quality of the meat is better back home......but if you are in Florence this steak is a must have!!
We finished off with a dessert of Tirumisu, for me, and Panacotta for Lesley just around the corner at Trattoria da Garibardi, they do very nice desserts here. We finished off the night with a Limoncello each......Ahh that is what I call a good feed.
