In Florence, fire isn’t just for cooking—it’s a ritual. But who truly invented the steak? The answer lies in a centuries-old rivalry between Tuscany and England.
A Secret British History
Since the Middle Ages, Florence has been home to a thriving community of British merchants. Legend says that during the feast of San Lorenzo, English knights would shout “Beef Steak!” while tasting our meat over the embers.
We loved the sound of it, and the “Bistecca” was born. Was it a British gift or a Florentine masterpiece? In our hills, we believe it’s the best of both worlds.
Mastering the Flames
Authentic tradition requires no gas and no shortcuts. In our 200-year-old stone cottage, we follow the ancient way of the fire.
Wood and Embers
We use only real wood, burned slowly until the embers are perfect. This fierce heat sears the meat instantly, locking in the juices while creating that iconic smoky crust.
The Bread and the Fire
While the fire breathes, the ritual begins: a traditional aperitivo with our signature, steaming focaccia. It’s the perfect prelude to the main event.
