Descrizione
Not a restaurant: a Florentine home. Watch our chef grill a Bistecca alla Fiorentina on the rooftop terrace, learn its secrets, and share it at one table with Tuscan wine.
CUC is not a restaurant and not a cooking school: it's a Florentine home, opened to travellers. Ring the bell, take the lift to the 4th floor and step into a penthouse with a terrace over the rooftops of the historic centre, where a glass of bubbles is waiting for you.
Samuele cooks, Leonardo makes you feel at home. While you meet the other guests, the chef brings out the bistecca raw and tells you the story behind it: which cut makes a true Fiorentina, why ageing matters and the rules for the fire. Then he grills it on the terrace in front of you, seared hard outside and rare at the heart, the way Florentines do it at home.
Dinner is served at one long shared table. Start with a Tuscan antipasto, followed by a homemade primo. Then comes the queen of the table: the Bistecca alla Fiorentina, carved at the table and passed around with Tuscan red wine.
End the evening the way Tuscans do among friends, with a cantuccio from Prato dipped in Vin Santo. You'll leave with a full stomach, new friends from around the world, and the know-how to cook a proper Florentine steak back home.
