Description

Summary: Florentine steak & convivial vibe.

Il Latini is a lively family-run ristorante in Florence, famous for its authentic Tuscan dishes, especially the Florentine steak. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, with a tradition of communal tables and a wine and cheese welcome for those waiting. The menu varies with the seasonality of local ingredients, ensuring the freshest dishes like quartered fried artichokes and tomato soup. The Chianina beef Florentine steak is a highlight, charcoal broiled and typically shared due to its size. Accompanying the meal, guests can choose from a vast selection of wines, with locals often opting for the house wine served in a carafe. Desserts change daily, but the tiramisu is a constant, featuring fluffy egg white and mascarpone with espresso-soaked Pavesini biscuits. While it may not be the setting for a quiet romantic dinner due to the close-set tables and lively crowd, Il Latini's charm lies in its historic setting and the combination of conviviality with delicious, traditional Tuscan fare for a truly memorable dining experience.
