Antica Macelleria Cecchini In Greve in chianti

A quaint restaurant with a truly top-notch meat menu. Personally, I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because I prefer my Florentine steak rare and with a crust, but perhaps I'm too picky.

Meat Central... Carnivores delight.

A must-see if you are in Tuscany

The experience at the old Cecchini butcher's shop was truly a treat. It began with an aperitif with house wine and lard crostini served in the alley outside. Dario's cheerful welcome was both entertaining and charming, a man who does this job for passion, not for money, especially considering his international fame. This sentiment was confirmed by a waitress who told us that, despite not being so young, she personally carves the meat every day. The place is practically a multi-story building with tons of tables. The idea of ​​organizing convivial tables is truly delightful, especially if you're lucky enough to find the right people. Another smart choice is to work with set menus, so as to better manage the service and eliminate food waste from compulsive ordering at the counter. Furthermore, you have a clear understanding of your bill, which, in my opinion, for a highly renowned place, is extremely affordable and proportionate to the quantity (you leave full but not rolling) and quality of the food. Returning to the topic of food waste, the policy is to avoid leftovers, so the waiters, extremely kind and professional, encourage you to take your food home, providing disposable trays and branded shopping bags! As for the meat, it was excellent, cooked according to traditional recipes. I personally found their francesinha and the bone broth, which they serve in a cup, to be delicious! Ultimately, their reputation is absolutely deserved. I recommend stopping by Panzano and trying this experience. Those who want can also buy a souvenir from the butcher's shop.

An experience for novices. The whole thing is truly original and unique, perfect for those who enjoy conviviality. Focusing on the meat menu, I absolutely can't argue with the quality of the ingredients; in fact, everything is truly delicious, but the quantity is truly questionable, and meat lovers will certainly be surprised to see only two small slices on their plate. There were times when waiters stopped by to give us another piece, but overall we didn't even get 600 grams of meat per person, and let's just say that for €50, I wasn't even remotely satisfied. The idea of ​​creating a vegetarian menu is nice, but it certainly can't be described as "up to par." Everything was extremely greasy, the croutons weren't toasted, and the egg as the only protein seems rather reductive, considering there are quite a few cheeses in the area. Overall, I can say that it's a nice experience, but I only recommend it to entry-level eaters who don't eat much.

Amazing place and experience, to try at least once

Great lunch, great experience, super delicious food!

A fantastic place bustling with life thanks to the wonderful service and the owner, Dario, who puts his whole heart into his work, welcoming, and caring for his guests! I highly recommend it!

Awesome place and dining experience. Note: the cows are grown in Spain, so don't expect Itallian-raised or Chianina beef, however the meat is fantastic and experience is absolutely worth the money and the trip.

Wondeful experience!! I had very low expectations due to some reviews. However, this was phenomenal. Dario took photos with everyone and he still smiling. Thanks Dario and his team. Sulte desde Puerto Rico ❤️
