Caffetteria Passavanti In Firenze

14/11/2025: Going to Solociccia is more of an experience than a traditional restaurant lunch, and this must be taken into account. Start with a welcome aperitif in Dario Cecchini's historic butcher shop, featuring crostini with lard and a glass of red wine. Then move on to the restaurants (Solociccia or Officina), which are an ode to conviviality. You don't reserve a table, but rather a seat. You'll be sitting with strangers, and this can be a pro or a con. The start time is the same for everyone, as it functions a bit like a reception or a "canteen." The Macellaio menu offers a wide selection of lesser-rated cuts of beef, which are much tastier, especially when well-cooked and using high-quality ingredients. It begins with a brisket baked in broth, followed by crostini with ragù, a tartare seared on one side accompanied by beans, panzanese steak (a cut between the loin and the thigh), boiled meats, and braised meats. All this to discover that you can eat everything from an animal ("You can eat everything from nose to tail"). It's all accompanied by an excellent red wine and, if desired, dipped vegetables. To finish, olive oil cake, coffee, and amaro. The experience costs €40 all-inclusive, and if you're lucky, you might even meet the legendary butcher. Very friendly staff and a perfect location for the experience, with the grill in full view where all the cuts are grilled. If you're a meat lover, or meat lover as they say here, this is an experience you must try. Highly recommended.
