Florentine-style steak cooking experience with a chef and unlimited wine

Welcome to a unique cooking experience in the heart of Florence, where you'll learn to prepare an authentic Bistecca alla Fiorentina with the guidance of a professional local chef. Become a true "MasterSteak" and impress your friends with a perfectly cooked Fiorentina steak once you’re back home!

Meet your chef in the vibrant historic centre of Florence and begin an unforgettable culinary adventure. Your chef, born and raised in the Sant’Ambrogio neighbourhood, will share the rich tradition of Florentine cuisine.

For those choosing the morning tour, your day begins with a visit to the Sant’Ambrogio Market, one of Florence’s oldest and most authentic. Wander through stalls filled with fresh produce, herbs, cheeses, and cured meats, experiencing the local atmosphere.

Next, you’ll enter the chef’s kitchen to learn how to cook the perfect Bistecca alla Fiorentina. The key is grilling the meat to perfection with just salt and olive oil. Your chef will guide you step by step, ensuring you achieve a tender, juicy steak served rare, as tradition dictates.

Before the main dish, enjoy an appetizer of Tuscan bruschettas and a glass of wine. As the steak grills, prepare simple sides like a fresh salad and grilled vegetables.

Finally, finish with traditional cantuccini, almond cookies, paired with sweet vinsanto. Enjoy your Fiorentina steak, sip wine, and share this unforgettable experience with new friends.
