Come with a hearty appetite and order Maxelâ's 1kg
bistecca Fiorentina
. When it
arrives, don't baulk at the size: the first bite of that velvety soft Fassone beef
sprinkled with salt crystals will make you want to weep with joy. Come with
friends and order more: try the delicately flavoured
carpaccio
(finely sliced raw
beef) and the artisanal salami.
