But what takes the cake or rather the piece de resistance, is the awesome Bistecca alla Florentina that the trattoria is famous for. As the Trattoria’s signature dish, the Florentine steaks are beautifully displayed with a big porcino mushroom cap and are tender and amazing. Some of the guests swear that this dish tastes best here than anywhere in the world!

Bistecca alla Florentina is a porterhouse cut with the word ‘Bistecca’ derived from the English ‘Beef Steak’. The rich English residents of Florence introduced this dish in the 1800s. Bistecca alla Florentina is made from the meat of the Vacca Chianina (pronounced Kee-a-nee-na), that are a big white breed of cattle named after the Chiana valley from they originate. The Chianina cattle were used to pull carts and for agricultural work. But it was discovered that their meat was tasty and tender. The inhabitants of Florence are proud to present this fantastic dish and add it to their culinary repertoire as one of the ultimate gastronomical delights. The house wine and the complementary grappa at the Antica Trattoria Sanesi is a satisfying experience besides their traditional culinary range.
