What is a Fiorentina steak?

Before choosing where to try it, getting to know what a “Florentine-style” steak means is mandatory. Fiorentina is a particular meat cut, a part of the loin near the backbone which has a bone in the middle. It should be grilled at a very high temperature, so that a fine crust forms rapidly on the meat and its inner parts remain almost rare. The proper Florentine-style steaks should be at least 3 or 4-cm-thick, with a weight between 1.2 kg and 1.5 kgs.

La Cucina de' Mibabbo

Set within a modern and welcoming atmosphere where exposed brick walls, wrought iron, wood and glass interact with each other at La Cucina de’ Mibabbo pays tribute to the most authentic Tuscan cuisine. Traditional dishes prepared with genuine ingredients from Tuscany are served alongside creations enhanced by a creative twist and innovative cooking techniques. Fiorentina is made from fine Scottona meat, cooked over vegetal charcoal and accompanied by a selection of flavoured coarse salt and grilled vegetables. Those wishing to try a more creative version of Florentine steak can opt for its Tomahawk version, cooked for five hours with sous vide cooking and then roasted in the oven.
Open Mon-Fri 12.30pm-3pm and 7.30pm-12am. Sat 7.30pm-12am. Closed on Sunday
