Il suo tempo per la cena! = Its time for dinner!
Luckily i didnt have to do too much research of restaurants in Firenze since John knew the city like the back of his hand. Obviously, if you go to Florence, you have to try their bistecca fiorentina, and this restaurant was the perfect place to have it. If you go here, order their signature appetizer - called pandemonio, which comes out with 8 different plates of various things to pick at like peppers, eggplant, quinoa, etc. It almost seemed like it would never end. I also really developed a love for artichokes in Italy. It is in everything - in the pasta, on the pizza, on the bruschetta, on the side of the entree, everywhere! I don't love fried foods, but peeling off the crispy petals off a fried artichoke is so delicious! And the bistecca fiorentina - wow! So flavorful! They first show the meat to you raw on a wooden slab first to make sure you like the cut and the marbling and when you approve it, they grill it to perfection. Hands down - amazing. And of course, when in Italy, you have to have tiramisu. The one served here is delicious. As you can see from the photo, It wasn't layered like a classic tiramisu and it was mostly mascarpone - but it was one of the best I've ever had.
