Antica Macelleria Cecchini In Greve in chianti

--- Antica Macelleria Cecchini Visiting the Antica Macelleria Cecchini in Panzano in Chianti (Tuscany) is more than just entering a meat shop: it's participating in a cultural and human ritual that combines tradition, passion, ethics, and entertainment. The protagonist is Dario Cecchini, a butcher-philosopher who has become a symbol of authentic Tuscany and the art of meat, interpreted as an act of love and respect for the animal and the community. The business stems from a long family tradition, rooted in the Chianti region, where rural culture has always valued meat as the fruit of labor, care, and gratitude toward nature. Dario Cecchini, heir to eight generations of butchers, has transformed the butcher shop into a symbolic place, where craftsmanship and philosophy meet. Every gesture, from cutting the meat to serving customers, is accompanied by quotes from Dante, poetic verses, and moral reflections, transforming the shop into a small theater of humanity. The gastronomic experience is at the heart of the visit. Cecchini offers visitors tastings of high-quality meat, prepared using traditional techniques that respect the animal. His famous cuts include: Florentine steak, cooked according to the Tuscan tradition; Panzanese and Chianti sushi, symbols of his creativity and irony; Chianti butter (a flavored lard cream), representing the perfect union of taste and tradition. Each tasting is accompanied by local wine, music, conviviality, and stories that make the customer feel part of a community.

A unique experience, an incredible treat

Fantastic, unique experience. Dario is an engaging showman, and a talented chef and butcher. Highly recommended. You damn well better love copious amounts of raw and barely cooked yet world class beef! Considering all the Chianti straw bottle wine you can drink and delicious first and second courses, €50 per person could be the best restaurant deal in Italy.

Carne Diem. Great place for meat, great staff, good value, friendly atmosphere, great for socializing.

It's a shame that it has become so commercialised. It used to be nice and cosy, but now it's massive.

Excelente meats. I travel an hour and therty minutes and happy to do it.

Dario Cecchini N.1 a butcher of history❤️ I thank you from the bottom of my heart

Everything is delicious, and Dario and his team are fantastic! It's always busy, so reservations are recommended. Delicious food and a great atmosphere! Thank you for this experience, Dario!

Three hours of entertainment and meat. This was so worth doing. My wife was skeptical, but she really enjoyed it and she eats like a bird. Go if you can!

A carne é boa. Mas o que vale mesmo é a experiência! É um evento desde antes do almoço até o momento final. Quase uma peça de teatro! Um ponto negativo é que na hora de servirem as carnes, sempre a mesa maior era servida primeiro e os pedaços de carne que chegavam as mesas menores não eram os melhores. Você pode levar seu vinho sem taxa de rolha.
